The best restaurants in Kinsale

15/09/2026: The tastiest meal I've had in a long time! I think I could eat everything on the menu! The sweet potato was a side dish, but it almost beat the rest, it was that good!

28/08/2026: Excellent food, sevice and setting. The starter bisque was the nicest soup I've ever had and the sole for mains was perfect. Cant wait to go back.

04/09/2026: Nice breakfast but be prepared to wait for a seat and Coffee not geat

15/08/2026: We ate brunch, Turkish eggs, and other things too. Well, it wasn't bad. That's all for now, bye everyone!

22/09/2026: We had an excellent meal here. The food was outstanding, the aubergine particularly tasty. The service and atmosphere was superb, we detoured our trip to go to this restaurant and it was well worth it!

15/09/2026: Absolutely delicious. We came for the Sunday plates and loved it. The kitchen were very accomodating of one of the guests on our table who was gluten free. The fresh ingredients were honoured and the wines by the glass selection great.

16/10/2026: Had a great night their very convivial tapas sharing leads to a much more sociable evening, sat in the enclosed "outdoor" seating area which was absolutely lovely.

01/10/2026: The experience we had was unbelievable. They brought us through a journey of wine and food that was unmatched. We will often now pause and think what an amazingly experience we had. The wine list was top notch. The food was unique and premium. Don’t know what else to say.

07/10/2026: Best scampi I've had in a very long time. A huge recommend! :-)

27/09/2026: Really enjoyed the fish and chips here! The fish has that lovely Dutch-style taste, which made it feel a bit different from the usual. Crispy, tasty, and filling, with great portions. Definitely worth trying!

29/09/2026: Lovely coffee spot with excellent lattes and tasty bites. Google says it’s the best coffee spot in Kinsale and I would concur!

13/09/2026: The cappuccino and fresh made baked goods were fantastic! Fede was very kind and gracious. The entire experience was lovely. If you are visiting Kinsale definitely stop by The Collector.

13/10/2026: Definitely worth a visit. Excellent pours and selection of beers. I’d suggest it after walking around the water.

11/10/2026: Fantastic place to visit the food was faultless the staff are amazing overall well worth a visit will definitely be back.

10/10/2026: Just so you know 80% of their reviews have been meant for another fish and chips truck Catch of the day which does outstanding food. This truck is fine but not “the best fish and chips I ever had”

07/10/2026: Best scampi I've had in a very long time. A huge recommend! :-)

16/09/2026: Beautiful pub friendly staff 😀 and great Guinness!

11/09/2026: A great place to stop during a trip.

12/10/2026: these are the best chips i have had in ireland. granted i have only eaten chips at like 4 restaurants in ireland, but i think thats still statistically useful data.

11/10/2026: We really enjoyed our meal here! The fish and chips is amazing: tasty fries and an amazing batter around the freshest fish. The service was impeccable with extremely nice waitresses. A plus for the amazing playlist!

15/09/2026: We just had the most delicious gourmet experience. Every dish was superb, and the flow and pacing was perfection. The wine list paired beautifully with the dishes. The chef makes it easy by limiting your choices. Everything was as fresh can be. Honestly, I’m pretty sure there were no bad options. The scallops, soba noodles with duck, boulabaise and lamb cutlets were all truly exceptional. Highly recommend! But the place needs a visual makeover. The atmosphere is definitely on the plate.

08/09/2026: HAD A SUPER DELICIOUS MEAL. Friendly service. TOP.

08/10/2026: A typical Irish pub, full of charm. Good beer, good company, and great traditional local music! What more could you ask for! Plus, Bryan and Sam made our Ghost Tour a blast, teaching us a bit of Kinsale's history amidst scares and fun adventures. Exceptional and incredibly kind people!

20/08/2026: Great pub to visit and you will like the ghost tour. It was a fun experience.

17/06/2026: Excellent food in a pub style atmosphere. More upscale than the usual pub fare. Vegetarian options. Go early or book - it was full by 18:00.

14/06/2026: Stayed in room 2 for one night with my wife .... lovely staff rooms were great ... location is amazing with lots to see around... was very noisy outside at night but thats only because the town is very busy nothing connected to the hotel ... would definitely return and recommend

04/09/2026: Small and so somewhat cramped. Very busy at this time of year but servers were lovely and friendly and tried to serve everyone as quickly as they could. Food was very tasty, atmosphere cosy and best of all for us , inside and out it is VERY dog-friendly, even with two big dogs in a small space. Servers gave them treats and some love too ❤️ Kinsale is a bit of a nightmare for driving and finding parking in season, but once you’re lucky enough to find a spot, the core is very compact and walkable and Leona’s is well positioned. Would recommend 👍

23/08/2026: Nice sandwiches. Friendly staff. Wheelchair accessible dining area but not bathroom.

29/09/2026: Have tried mocha. Its decent enough. There are better options for coffee. KOKO has much better mocha comparatively. But seating and ambiance is good. Staff were great.

29/09/2026: Wonderful memories I send books to/from Café at the Edge of the World
