Bastion in Kinsale

We had an amazing experience enjoying the tasting menu and honestly regret not going for the full menu — every bite of every dish was unforgettable. This isn’t our first time having a tasting menu, but this one was truly exceptional. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, carefully explaining each dish and making the whole experience even more special. We’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience!

I Would recommend this restaurant highly as it was probably best meal I have ever had.

Absolutely the best Michelin star restaurant I have eaten at. Paul and Helen and their food is amazing.

It's been 4 days since we experiened Bastion's tasting menu and the flavors of the Wagyu beef with mushroom sauce still linger in our heads as one of the best things we've ever put in our mouth. Everything we tasted was amazing but that particular dish was all we talked about the rest of our weekend. Other highlights were the cured langoustine dish and laminated whole wheat roll. Excellent all around - the food, the service, presentation. You will not regret booking your table here.

Superior course of small bites along with wine pairings makes Bastion a must dine Michelin Star restaurant! You will love it! Fantastic meeting Ellen and Chef Paul. Best of luck for your continued success! Donald and Lisa from North Carolina.

Dinner was a truly memorable experience. The staff were warm and attentive, and every dish was exceptional, beautifully prepared and presented. It absolutely earned its Michelin stars. We came for a special occasion, and the team made it even more special. Thank you for an unforgettable evening!

Such a LOVELY meal at Bastion this last Friday evening! Food was amazing, the service was personal and personable, and the setting was lovely as well. It's a husband/wife operation and their passion for the food and the place comes through in spades. Three of us were gluten free and they were also super considerate about that. Irish wagyu beef course was the best thing I ate on the whole trip.
