We had such a lovely afternoon in these beautiful gardens. Food was great, service was great! Especially our waitress Patricia, who went out of her way to learn all our names! She was a real treat!! Definitely recommend for a pleasant afternoon out with friends and especially for an occasion. Lovely birthday surprise dessert for our birthday girl 😊

I went to La Vie en Rose for a bridal shower, and although there was a set menu, there were no problems catering for peoples individual needs. The only issue was that someone who only eats kosher was served an omelette with bacon. Thankfully, the waitress gladly took the omelette back and the lady was served a kosher alternative. Other than that, this is a lovely restaurant to host events!

Good experience, great vibe, super friendly staff. Just wish they had gluten free options on the menu. Disappointed that they had zucchini pasta advertised but its no longer on offer. Got to hate it when menus are not up to date.

Lovely setting under neath the trees at La Vie, dived into the high tea we had planned. The staff were wonderful and catered to everything including the birthday cake I requested :) the chicken livers are to die for!😍

Wonderful ambience. Food a bit pricey, the waffle and crumbed chicken was nice but oily, the dessert waffle was lovely but very stingy on the ice cream lol - one tiny scoop.

Liked the garden restaurant setup, very relaxing atmosphere for anyone including families. The garden is large and can accommodate a good number of patrons. The burger was one of the best I have sampled in a long time. It is centrally located in Killarney with close proximity to the M1 or Glenhove or even Oxford drive. They just need to improve the visibility of directional signage once inside, I drove up and down looking for the premises having been there for the first time. Overall, its a great place.

Went there for Mothers day. The food and service was quick (even for a holiday). The atmosphere in the gardens are very nice. However, we felt that the food was completely overpriced. I dont mind paying a lot of money for good food, but the food served, although not bad, simply did not justify the price - it was quite plain. The inside setting also just has the feel of a big hall with a few decor items, not impressed by it at all. We did not have a bad experience, but doubt we will return.

We had a super experience here. The staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgable. The food was cooked to perfection and the drink selection was great. Ricky really went above and beyond looking after us. The venue is great and very romantic and we would go back many times over. Thank you guys!

Amazing service. Beautiful, tranquil scenery and simple, elegant decor. Not too pretentious either. We had a breakfast table of about 20 people, and the food was served simultaneously, hot and delicious. The waiters let us know if there was any delay. Lovely, highly recommended place to eat at.

Wonderful restaurant. Beautiful setting, especially for a lovely summers afternoon. Food was good. The pasta was cooked al dente and the sauce was very tasty. The steak was cooked to perfection when ordered medium. It was very tender and the thin chips were really crispy. The cheesecake was heavy and dense, so if you prefer a lighter, fluffier baked cheesecake, rather order a waffle. The service was excellent and the friendliness of the staff was well received. Will be back next time to try the high tea!

Nice atmosphere. Lots of natural light in a good setting. Food is well presented and visually appealing, however taste wise it is average. Highlight for me was the fresh bread and milkshakes.

What a great surprise to find this gem of a place, a little hidden away, but once you find it you wont be disappointed. Entry through the golf club gates. Food is great and prices are affordable. Plenty of space for the kids to run around.

I always have a great time here! The garden aesthetic is perfect for brunch and taking in some sunshine.The food is generally reliable and service is always good. My default order is pretty much always the shakshuka but Ive heard the rest of the menu is fabulous too.La Vie en Rose is the perfect family brunch spot!

Review β„–39

A beautiful chic decor and very open - you either can sit under the trees in the tranquil garden ,or under some umbrellas ,or sit inside that has you full looking out. Most of the times there is at least 1 private event happening here but you still feel well away from the event to enjoy yourself.Ive only been here for breakfast and without a doubt the meals are always filling. Waiters keep a keen eye but never prying, and as soon as you gesture, they are there to assist.

It has a magical aesthetic, but the waiters/waitresses could do with a bit more etiquette. They were walking in front of people who were doing speeches, interrupting them

Review β„–43

It was really bad, French toast was dry and not actually French toast at all. Omelette had just lumps of cheese and the egg was also just drey. Honestly could make a better omelette at home. We asked for hard eggs and got very runny eggs. It was terrible and La vie en Rose used to be amazing but the food what SHOCKING, need to make some serious changes!!

I have recently visited the La Vie en Rose and it had been my first time Ever! This sight blew my mind the minute i walked in! It was such a lovely atmosphere regardless of the fact it was a Sunday morning... lots of parking and plently to seeThe resturant itself had such a variety to choose from and its simply a perfect spot to even just catch up with a friend over a cup of coffee and dessert 🌺I will definitely be visiting this place again as it id truly worth going again and again❀

Love the food, drinks and venue at KCC La Vie en Rose, its a fantastic place to come. Its sometimes hard to get ahold of the the staff for service, so service can be slow.

Review β„–81

This is one of my favourite post workout breakfast venues.The food is really good, I especially like the classic Scrambled Eggs - with grilled rosa tomatoes, mushrooms and fresh avocado served with fresh artisanal toast and preserves.The service is not always efficient, but it is not too much of a detraction from the venue.I recommend this venue if you want to have a nice intimate breakfast with a significant other, or perhaps want a venue where you can have a secluded business meeting.They do cater for functions and I can recommend this venue, as one of my good friends hosted his wedding reception here. The food is good enough to warrant a return.All in all a 3.5 out of 5 and I will be coming back once the Covid-19 rules allow.
