Saint Francis Provisions in Kinsale

Delicious food, great service!!

Very good signature cuisine, such as tapas and small plates. It has dishes reminiscent of Mediterranean cuisine, highly recommended and a good alternative to fish and chips.

Came for dinner after being lucky enough to get a reservation. This place is excellent, the staff were attentive but not too much, the food was cleverly put together and used excellent ingredients. Would recommend the strawberry salad, the aubergines and the fish if you can get it. Definitely make this one of your dinner choices in Kinsale.

Amazing dining experience. The food and atmosphere is so special. We will be back

My sister and I ate here for the first time recently. We were delighted with our meal. There was a beautiful atmosphere, quick service, and most of all wonderful food! Already looking forward to returning again!

I’ve lived in Ireland for 8 months. We dine out frequently. In the time we’ve been here to be VERY blunt, St. Francis Provisions is a top three dining experience! Staff was attentive but not intrusive, we we seated in outdoor dining was on a small city square that was pretty much deserted as it was drizzling (we were seated under an awning, so stayed dry)… The flood was sublime. We had the Braised Chard with Raisins/Pine Nuts and Ajo Blanco, the Grilled radishes with Macroom Ricotta (the Ricotta was stunning), the Caherberg Bavette (skirt steak?) with “Green Sauce” and Smoked Potatoes with Aioli… The starters we more than big enough, was very surprised by the radishes as they were green/sweet and not peppery, at all. The Ajo Blanco with the chard was difficult to place in my culinary lexicon - I need to learn to make it! - The Bavette was perfectly cooked and the “Green Sauce was a Chimi-churri-esque riff with capers and mint… ALL of the above were plated well, tasted great and left us wishing we had more room to try ALL the other menu items… But the thing that got me THE MOST was Chef Rebecca’s take on potatoes. Look, this is Ireland…you can’t turn over a menu in upscale dining here without new and interesting riffs on potatoes. According to Jack, the Maitre’d, these were steamed, then smoked, then fried and served with a very thick and punchy garlic aioli. Simply, they are the finest potatoes I have eaten since moving here…. In conclusion, St. Francis is a top three favorite dinner since we moved here. The place is small and cooks at a level that you might not expect with its simple setting and “quaint tourist town” vibe… If you get the chance, eat there. You’ll kick yourself if you don’t. So, all things Kinsale are easy to find, on the internet…the town is lovely, and reminds me of small New England seaport towns.

Great food - amazing fish and to die for mozzarella salad - in a wonderful setting. Visit before, a good few times, strawberry salad, smoked potatoes, broccoli and fried aubergine really tasty. Great vibe and friendly staff.

We had the most amazing meal here .. everything was 5 star, the food was sensational, we shared the steak and fish and also the smoked potatoes.. and what made the experience even better was the incredible service from all the staff .. next time we are in Kinsale we will definitely be back 🥰

AMAZING food, service, and vibe. Super fresh local dishes. I sat at the window awash in candlelight and charming vibes. Barbara, the lovely owner, came over for a delightful chat and pointed me to other local spots that I visited and also loved. Can’t wait to go back to this spot! Highly recommend!
