Ohk
Kinsale
20/09/2025: Had a delicious decaf vanilla cardamom latte and a piece of chai-spiced carrot cake. The carrot cake was good but it was more a white cake with nutmeg than a proper carrot cake. No real complaints from me, though, because it was still yummy.
You can't sit inside if you aren't eating a meal which is annoying, if understandable. We sat on the bench outside.

Fisherman’s Catch (food truck)
Kinsale
19/08/2025: Best fish and chips in Cork. They have a outlet in Carrigaline as well. JC Lennox and catch of the day can't be beaten for fish and chips in Cork.
Update after 2 years : wouldn't change it a bit. It still is a 5 star place
13/08/2025: I had my best fishnchips in Kinsale!
Got a kibbling box and even the small one for 8euros was definitely filling and the tartare sauce was delish!Chips were golden&crispy and the fish was fried to perfection!
Has a lovely view to enjoy your food at aswell

Not to be missed.

16/09/2025: Wonderful pub in Kinsale. Lots of character full of local characters. Cozy dark interior with a small dining area and more covered/uncovered outdoor seating. Limited whiskey selection but plenty of beer on tap. Just had drinks so I can't comment on the food.
13/09/2025: THE BEST CHOWDER in Kinsale. Super friendly service in a very traditionnal Irish pub setting. You have to try this place if you are in Kinsale

Kitty O Se's
Kinsale
01/08/2025: Everything you would want in an Irish Pub. Great music, friendly atmosphere, welcoming staff and just a really cool experience.
28/07/2025: Live music and golf with no sound on TVs. Seafood chowder and Beef & Guinness stew were delicious, Booking recommended as both bar and restaurant were busy with what appeared to be mostly tourists.

Jim Edwards
Kinsale
21/09/2025: Despite the bustling atmosphere and a staff that was clearly run off their feet, Jim Edwards in Kinsale still managed to deliver a decent experience. The place was packed, a testament to its popularity, which explains why the service felt a bit strained. However, the team did their best to keep up.
The food was solid—nothing overly fancy, just good, hearty fare, and the pints were well-poured. It's clear why this spot is so popular; it has a lively buzz that's hard to miss. While not a quiet, leisurely meal, it’s a perfectly good option for a decent bite and a quality pint in the heart of Kinsale.
20/09/2025: Good food, friendly service from all the servers, especially María, who was always attentive to ensure we were well looked after.
This is my second time here, and I was not disappointed.
