The best restaurants

11/05/2026: Does what it says on the tin.. great Old School pub

08/02/2026: Great to see a thriving old style pub, the way a pub should be. Excellent service which is lacking in so many pubs now.

26/10/2025: I never got to go in, but locals will rant and rave about this place. We rang the doorbell and were greeted by an amazing woman. Sadly they had no more room left, but she was the sweetest person. Hopefully we can visit again soon, and have an amazing pint (which every waitress and waiter told us is the best place to have one)

09/09/2025: Best Cork pub I've been in to, and I've been here 29yrs. Didn't even know it existed. Drove past it so many times. Looking forward to my next visit 😊

17/10/2025: Wouldn’t get my coffee anywhere else than here 10/10! Super friendly and accommodating staff, you can feel the great energy through the drive through window and the coffee is lovely everytime !

06/10/2025: I would wait 20 minutes for a coffee here if I had too. It’s the nicest coffee spot, staff & service are amazing.

21/07/2025: Beautiful hotel! The room was comfortable and clean, the staff was welcoming and very hospitable, and the food at the on-site restaurant was great. It is a bit isolated, but if you're staying for a night or two, it's absolutely perfect. Plus, many of the rooms have a balcony - a very nice touch!

21/07/2025: Beautiful hotel. Spacious room, lovely setting. Easy check in. Friendly staff. Super clean, even the tv remote was in a plastic protector!! Used the leisure centre which was relaxing. Evening meal was gorgeous. Lovely spacious areas to sit and relax on all floors. Can not fault our stay.

22/12/2025: Great carvery but has gone very expensive

07/12/2025: Great selection of different foods

11/07/2025: Good choice of grocery also extended hall for closing and homeware department. They have installed fresh orange juice machine and coffee beans machine on the floor area and more choices inside.

27/06/2025: Dropped in for something quick to eat. Great choices available with great prices and service.

16/01/2026: Food was good. Group of 5 couples so in total we paid a large bill. When we came to pay the owner refused to allow us to pay separately as couples. We won't be going back there again!

24/12/2025: This is literally the best restaurant for miles around.Great food ( the best) great service,great service,and prices that will amaze you,we seriously recommend you try here,make sure to book ,it's very busy for a reason.🙂

17/10/2025: Nice staff, great atmosphere its absolutely amazing I will definitely go back there.

19/09/2025: Honestly the best bar ive been in in my life, friendly staff and super accommodating, never have i been to another bar like this. Caoimhe does some of the best cocktails ive had, and i do drink cocktails from all over the land. They also have some of the best Guinness too, and doesnt put you out of pocket.

19/03/2026: Excellent food, location and service! Great music in the background.

21/10/2025: Visited on a quiet day in October. Lovely place to relax and have lunch. Huge selection of wonderful cakes. Location stunning

04/06/2026: The food regularly changes, can pretty much ignore reviews from 6 months ago. Pizza only at the moment

06/01/2026: absolutely majestically if you ask me we where in for dinner the last night while passing through and I have to say the service was amazing a young man named Rian Coyne was especially good to us. he was very helpful and knew the menu without looking and was very quick to serve our drinks thanks to all the staff and especially Rian Coyne

25/04/2026: Very good service, food delicious. Starters around €9 and main courses around €20.

22/04/2026: Food was quite good when it finally came but service was so slow it detracted from our enjoyment. Management clearly has staffing issues as, despite us being in there at prime time dinner hour, they only had two staff, one of which who was doing almost nothing. Thankfully the petite, blond haired girl ran around serving everyone like she was working by herself. Took us almost 20 mins to just get our drinks delivered and about 45 mins for our meals to come. For the price of the food, management owes their clientele better service than this!

04/05/2026: Pricing gouging like you wouldn't see in Temple Bar. The price of a pint went up every hour. I understand that every bar in kinsale needs to make a few bob for the 7s weekend. But this was just extortion. Adding an extra star because the staff were lovely in fairness.

03/05/2026: Very poor service was waiting for 20minutes to order

06/06/2026: The atmosphere was like walking into someone’s farm kitchen for only taking cash or Revolut you would think they would use the extra cash to stick a table clothe on the tables

01/06/2026: ⚠️ Warning for tourists: This place is a scam. They claim the card machine isn't working to force you to pay in cash and avoid paying taxes.

25/10/2025: Best lunch in town! Great portions of delicious home cooked food. Friendly welcome and excellent service 👍

17/10/2025: Food was great we had a big party of us over 60 people everyone left happy and full, staff very helpful and nice price was very reasonable 👍

17/06/2026: Lovely coffee shop! Staff was so nice and friendly. They have lots of lovely locally designed products. 10/10

30/05/2026: Fantastic gem in salthill with a beautiful creamy and smooth Cortado along with some fantastic local gifts and products. Highly recommended!
