A culinary       experience
sample menus dining lodge tour

Over the years, Killarney Lodge has earned a reputation for fine country cooking. The original fireplace casts a warm glow over diners, as it has for over half a century, creating a relaxed and rustic atmosphere in the intimate log rooms.

Slowly simmered soups, delicately seasoned fish and fresh produce, traditional roasts and tender poultry dishes are followed by delicious homemade desserts.

Our friendly staff will prepare a scrumptious picnic lunch so that you can explore the park without having to return to Killarney for a midday meal.

At Killarney Lodge, you may choose to begin your meal plan with either lunch or dinner on the day of your arrival. The dining lodge is also open to the public for lunch and dinner. Dinner reservations are recommended. The dining lodge, lobby and guest cabins are all smoke-free.

"Everything was wonderful!
My hat's off to the cooks.
I don't think we'll have to eat for a week!"
(Ottawa, Canada)

Dress code is informal and most guests come to dinner "smart casual".

Our dining lodge and guest lounge are not licensed to serve liquor. However, you are welcome to bring your own wine- we'll be happy to provide a corkscrew and glasses. For a tour of our dining lodge click here.

Summer and Fall Hours

Our guests often ask for recipes for some of our favorite home-baked goods, desserts or soups. We're happy to provide recipes for you to take home with you. Here is an all-time favorite:

Killarney Lodge Pecan Pie

Makes one pecan pie.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees (F). Melt 1/6 cup of sweet butter in a medium bowl and combine 3 eggs, 1 cup corn syrup, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/3 tsp of vanilla, 1/3 tsp of salt. Mix well.

In an unbaked pie shell sprinkle 1/3 cup of pecans (chopped or whole), then pour the mixture over the pecans. Bake it for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature or chill. For an added treat, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
