Lemon Leaf Cafe Bar & Townhouse in Kinsale

03/04/2024: What can I say but sublime. Nestled in the heart of Kinsale, Bastion was one of the last places I had to tick off the Michelin list and by god did it deliver. The wine list was excellent and the food and service sublime. Attentive but not overwhelming. The food, well sourced and wonderfully prepared truly an excellent display of localized contemporary food presented impeccably. Wholeheartedly recommended to anyone nearby - or even further afield. This restaurant will not disappoint in truly displaying the wealth of culinary talent and produce access that Cork has available to it.

29/03/2024: We had the discovery tasting menu and wine paring. The evening was amazing with wonderful flavours and textures. Everything was perfect from the mini brioche with treacle butter to the pettifores. The cured langoustine and the rabbit loin were my favourites. We enjoyed everything including the staff with their friendly interaction and detailed description of the wines and foods. Thank you Hellen and Paul.
