Restaurant review: The Garden Room Restaurant, Malton Hotel, Killarney

THE Garden Room Restaurant in Killarney’s Malton Hotel is a magnificent setting even if it is a perfect example of the styles, ambitions and the gilded ostentation of another time.

Restaurant review: The Garden Room Restaurant, Malton Hotel, Killarney

It is not though entirely a relic of ’oul decencey but that ’oul decency writ largish and kicking — albeit gently — in today’s world.

The grand scale of the room is a statement in itself; ornately plastered and painted ceilings that must be the best part of 30 feet high, tall windows four or five times the size of the standard doors in today’s houses and a carpet so rich that it feels as if you’re walking across a squelching but secure bog on the lower slopes of the nearby McGillycuddy’s Reeks.
