Man Friday in Kinsale

Went for a birthday dinner. Booked for 5:30 and glad we did as very crowded later. Went for the early bird menu. Food was very good. The 3 courses were large and struggled to finish it all. They do a children's menu, but very short. The chicken gougons were homemade and delicious though and more like an adult portion. Good staff. Table in a glass covered area with heating and great view of sea and a small zen garden area on the other side. We hadn't been before and very happy with our choice.

Really lovely setting in a tucked away corner of Kinsale. Staff were very welcoming and very friendly. The restaurant had 4 different sections/rooms, all various in look and feel and a good atmosphere in all even with how early we ate (6pm). Food was tasty but I thought very expensive for some of the dishes. €50 for a piece of black sole fish and a few potatoes just seemed way over priced even though cooked well and very nice. I had looked at the menu before booking but didn't realise how pricey some of the mains were. My cured salmon starter was a little bland but my partners Lobster bisque was divine. The meringue dessert was delicious. All in all a really lovely place to dine and I would look forward to going back again.

Best dinner in Kinsale (part of family trip). The chef’s soup du jour (spinach, leek) was one of the best soups I have eaten in my entire life. The pan fried local cod was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Whoever is running their kitchen is a genius. Service was good but not exceptional.

This restaurant was nothing short of amazing the food was so so great it had everything for everyone, the staff were just so nice to all of us and the long list of wines made everyone happy

Food was amazing and the service of the whole Team was great really nice restaurant and so friendly

Quite tasty food here! We were here on a hen do and even though a couple of glass stems were broken by enthusiastic bridesmaids, the staff were great! Tasty food, the beef short rib main and meringue dessert were class! I had a couple of cocktails and the Margarita was salty enough for me (often they're not!) and I loved the amaretto sour too. Downside was the brie bites which didn't really have any taste and that dish as a whole was a bit bland. Beautiful setting and very cute restaurant, would recommend if you're in Kinsale! Though it is a bit more pricey than if you're going for a casual meal, expect €50-60pp if you're having a drink with a meal

Early bird 3 course special was excellent. Great vibes and atmosphere.

Omg the slow cooked beef short rib was to die for !! I never order beef.. But something in me felt called to order it! I was very impressed. Melt in the mouth yum 🤤

Fantastic Dinner in Man Friday again. Beautiful food, great service and great value. would recommend to anyone visiting Kinsale.

We had a fantastic meal at Man Friday the other night. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is very cosy and some of the seating has beautiful views over the Kinsale harbour. I started with a prawn cocktail which was very delicious. For the main course I had the beef ribs in Murphy's Irish Stout glaze which was absolutely delightful! The meat was so rich and tender. I also tried some of the Hake which was also amazing! We finished off with a flourless chocolate cake which was very rich. Overall the meal was amazing, all the food was excellent quality and tasted fantastic. I would definitely recommend booking as it can get quite busy. If you're visiting Kinsale you couldn't go wrong with a meal at Man Friday!
