Sneem Restaurants
Sneem restaurants are a favourite destination on the Ring of Kerry and consequently the village offers a good choice of dining choices. You can think of it as a foodhub on the Ring of Kerry, catering to hundreds of visitors each day.Under the banner of restaurants in Sneem, I'm including all the different types of eateries trading in the village. These range from delicatessen to coffee shops to pubs and restaurants.
In fact, Sneem has quite a number of such businesses, all run by independent people and families. You won't find any restaurant chains here!
