Catch of the day

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!

Max's
Kinsale
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.

Rare
Kinsale
21/08/2026: Three of us had the tasting menu last night and the experience was fabulous from start to finish. As each of the courses was presented one of the chefs came out to describe them in detail. For me the trout starter was to die for, my daughters chicken dish was her favourite, while my wife thought the fish dish of turbot was delicious.
I also went with the signature wines which were all beautifully selected to go with each course.
While not a cheap night out, well worth the experience.
20/08/2026: A truly amazing dining experience.
