The best restaurants

18/02/2025: Delicious coffee and lovely staff

02/02/2025: The products are good for the price and taste good. However, I didn't find the service so friendly, we felt a little strange to see that other Acai bowl orders came with a wooden plate that included napkins and spoons and ours barely came with the acai container and the spoon . It was our first time visiting the cafe and we are thinking if it is really worth coming back.

16/04/2025: Easily one of the best places I‘ve stayed in Ireland so far. Lovely staff, absolutely nice, modern and convenient rooms. Very good continental breakfast with a good selection of savoury food as well as sweets and cereals. And you should definitely try the pizza for dinner, really thin and so delicious. Last but not least the rate for the room was quite fair. And I was able charge my car in 100m walking distance (ESB charging station).

28/03/2025: Stayed here for 3 nights on a business trip and thought it was perfect. Couldn't fault it. We arrived later than expected and found nobody at reception or in the bar. Everything was locked up. We called the phone number and it was answered by someone who we can only assume is the owner. This person was rightly confused by our arrival at such a late hour but promptly instructed us on how to enter the hotel and locate the key to our rooms. This was much-appreciated as the alternative would have been to sleep in our van! We were staying in the apartment located around the corner from the main entrance to the hotel. It was newly refurbished and very clean with a kitchen, living room, hallway, and two en suite double bedrooms. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom and shower were beautiful with a monsoon showerhead and backlit mirror. Plenty of storage space in the bedrooms for clothing, though the rooms themselves were quite small. Both bedrooms and the living room had a massive smart TV mounted on the wall. The TV in my room did have a vertical strip of dead pixels which was slightly annoying, but I'm sure it's easily fixed. Breakfast in the hotel was continental, with a small selection of cured meats, cheeses, croissants, cereals, yogurts, and jams; as well as tea and coffee made to order. Everything was fresh and tasty, and well organised. Kingston's has a great bar which includes an extensive selection of whiskey and cocktails. They also serve wood-fired pizza, which is very tasty and with great options, albeit a little pricey in comparison with other lunch/dinner spots in Killorglin. If you're looking for a a more refined meal, there is an excellent restaurant only 2 mins walk from the hotel called 'The Bianconi', which has a beautiful menu that aspires to the level of fine dining found in cities such as Galway and Dublin. It's a favourite amongst locals and was almost full when we visited on a Thursday evening. Highly recommended. Other than that, there are a multitude of food options, both in Killorglin, and the surrounding area including "Bunker's Bar and Restaurant" in Killorglin proper, and the 4 star Glenbeigh Hotel a mere 10-15 mins drive west. Overall, Kingston's is an excellent base of operations for solo travellers and couples who wish to explore Killorglin, the Macgillicuddy Reeks, Rossbeigh, Killarney National Park, or even the Dingle peninsula. It's a place of comfort and tranquility nestled amongst some of the most beautiful natural scenery that Ireland has to offer. In terms of improvements I would like to see, a more rounded offering of food at meal times would be desirable, and would almost certainly help to bring in more business during the off-season.

16/04/2025: Horrible antes de que empezara. Como acordamos durante nuestra llamada de reserva llegamos a las 9 pm. El restaurante parecía lleno y el gerente no nos dejó entrar, alegando que el atuendo de mi hija no era adecuado para ese lugar. ¿En serio? Fue una excusa grosera porque el restaurante estaba lleno. Fue una actitud grosera para alguien que se las arregla como lugar que depende de las revisiones y recomendaciones. Tal cintura. Deseadle buena suerte y la próxima vez os traeremos nuestro vestido de lentejuelas. Qué triste actitud...

13/04/2025: The Manager was rude and dismissive. The tables were jammed together and the waiters kept bumping into our chairs. The atmosphere was uncomfortable and tense. The food was very average. Overall a very poor customer experience.

29/03/2025: Not many gluten free options, but they have bars. Coffee is excellent!

20/02/2025: Quality. Classic Cafe. Uses a coffee from his own town in Italy and makes his own dough. Passion in preparation. Very accommodating.

09/04/2025: A bit awkward with the location (not their fault) being in a one way system and then parking at a premium (see 30 minutesish sign) Could do with signage and also telling people parking here for the coffee shop Super friendly and chatty girls, all quick to engage with customers and help Plenty of options Nice to visit but unfortunately an awkward location (probably better parking down the road and walking back up) Plenty of outdoor seating options, the bucket seats very low so not ideal if not the most nimble Prices at the higher end (probably in line with the area it's in) Recommended

06/04/2025: It was my first time there, but not the last. I absolutely love the place. Kind staff, clean place.

25/04/2025: Lovely experience here for an anniversary dinnner. Food and service were excellent and special mention to Timmy who served us.

25/04/2025: A freak experience that should not be used to judge this lovely restaurant and beautiful hotel. We’re staying here and love the hotel. But the dining room manager was ineffective at dealing with the horribly behaved family of thirty with wild children screaming throughout the space. Such a disaster for all other guests. All we wanted and requested was to be served in the bar or gorgeous lobbies. We were told NO, so instead of suffering we just left uneaten meals. Such a shame but why suffer through such an unpleasant experience? Management should have a preplanned scenario for dealing with such happenings.

09/03/2025: Stopped for lunch. Nice little coffee shop; friendly people; enjoyed the food!

25/02/2025: Cosy cafe with excellent food and good service!

03/04/2025: I LOVE this place! Come here for brekkie/brunch multiple times a month - the go-to spot for a breakfast out ! All the staff are so personable and give the best service: accommodating and also a great chat. As for the menu, yummy and changes seasonally so there’s always something fresh 😋

03/04/2025: The menu forces you into difficult choices so you end up trying everything.

02/04/2025: Super cozy and great spot. I enjoyed a nice latte and croissant. Their music selection is amazing, i really enjoyed seeing albums I've never known about, Ima have to do some listening Homework later. Great store.

19/03/2025: I believe this is the loveliest spot in Cork, felt so welcome, the coffee was amazing and the guy working there is very nice! felt like a warm breeze that I was not rushed through my study and provided with internet and great view and GOSH the music is ethereal! I could write a thesis how much I liked it here :,)

10/04/2025: Had a beautiful meal here on Mothers Day. All meals were excellent 😋

10/03/2025: Had a great stay here during the Western Drama Festival. Teresa and Matthew couldn't have done enough. Really hospitable people, and the bar/restaurant area is so warm and cozy with a fireplace. Food is very tasty, with solid dinner and breakfast options available.

04/04/2025: Nice place. Very warm welcome and quality products 👍

12/03/2025: Excellent every time we go there. The carrot ginger orange soup was out of this world. Chicken kebab with tortilla and chips highly recommended, too. Best place in town. Extremely friendly staff. Thank you.

06/04/2025: It’s my favourite restaurant in Dublin and my favourite dish. Cachapa is forever in my heart. But I have never eaten something I don’t like in there. The food, drinks and dessert are always spot on

04/04/2025: A great place to try Venezuelan cuisine and enjoy a good atmosphere.

10/04/2025: What an atmosphere. And great coffee. Not just americano, but proper strong coffee. And small backyard... felt like home ;)

08/04/2025: My favorite coffee in all of Galway, followed them on Instagram had no idea that they were married which makes it even cuter- they give great vibes as soon as you walk in the door! Also in the bathroom they have period products, which I was stuck and very thankful for that- for the girls and anyone who loves a good coffee

11/04/2025: One of the most gorgeous coffee spots I’ve ever been too, the atmosphere is divine, the staff are not only beautiful but the friendliest bubble crew. I had a coconut iced matcha and it was €2 cheaper any other place I’ve been to and one of the nicest I’ve had in a long while. The design, use of space and colour to create several seating areas, it’s a fantastic example of how small spaces can be used instead of being a tiny car park. Didn’t get any sweet treats but they looked incredible. 10/10 will be coming back

23/03/2025: Best cookies ever sound kev and rach

10/04/2025: Food was amazing I had a scone it was big 😋 pancakes were delicious

03/04/2025: Lovely staff with friendly attitude. Great place to have sandwiches, falafel, coffee, etc. Highly recommended
