Sol Y Sombra Outside
The church provides the perfect setting for this dining experience and it dates back to 1816, so although uniquely furnished, the building is full of character and charm - especially the stained glass windows!

'Sharing dishes amongst friends' is one of the main concepts of the Tapas Bars and what you'll mainly find here is larger tapas portions called 'raciones' which are usually served with bread. The menu here varies with the season as some of the products are imported from Spain while fresh local Irish produce is also used in each dish. There is a remarkable wine list to accompany every meal.

Tantalizing signature dishes on offer here include; Traditional Spanish Omelette and Spanish Meat Balls. Nighly specials are available and there is also a very tasty group menu available as groups are also catered for (10+).

Sol Y Sombra Restaurant Killorglin also offers an extensive wine list and specialise in Spanish wine which is imported directly from Spain.
