The best restaurants in Kinsale

10/05/2025: Anniversary date night. Couldn't have been a better spot. The service was out of this world. Loved everything I tasted, especially the wine and dessert wine.

26/04/2025: Incredible spot! Service and menu choices were superb!!

24/05/2025: Great coffee - and other drinks. Very unique

24/05/2025: Believe the hype! Coffee lattes are the 💣! And we got some amazing body oil too. The owner is a sweetheart. Thanks for everything!

07/05/2025: Brilliant food! Crispy on the outside, yet melting in your mouth, and a generous portion of chips. We came all the way from the Rotterdam Harbour area where we have a lot of comparison material, but this is really TOP NOTCH! Keep up the good work!

27/04/2025: Very tasty, large portion, but there could have been more sauce.

27/05/2025: First dinner in Kinsale and Ireland and it was incredible.We were sat at a table in the covered terrace by the big open fireplace.The cooked oysters lobster and black sole were perfectly cooked so fresh - even the green salad was a highlight with the mix of leaves and dressing and such friendly efficient staff

26/05/2025: The food was ok although Fishy Fishy across the harbor is much better. The hake was good and salad was fresh. Nothing out of the ordinary or extraordinary.

10/05/2025: My fiancée and I are visiting from Canada. Had a beautiful walk along the water to get here and enjoyed the best fish & chips we’ve ever had. The gentleman and lady serving us were incredibly kind. We walked 30 minutes for this lunch but we’d have gladly walked 2 hours if we knew these fish and chips were waiting for us again!!

08/05/2025: The best fish and chips ever! Even the small potion is great value, mostly fish and a sprinkle of chips. Everything is freshly battered and cooked to order. Owners are friendly and smiley. 💯 Recommend!

19/04/2025: Great service, tasty food and good value.

18/04/2025: We had a lovely dinner at the restaurant. The cod was wrapped in nori which was so creative and the pate was awesome-made at the restaurant.

04/05/2025: Stumbled upon this spot on the warmest day of the year. Unbelievable food service and drinks on the Quay afterwards....its a simple life. Savage spot

01/05/2025: Beautiful little pub with extra ordinary seafood selection and a lovely bar who explained the difference between a Beamish and Murphy’s. Love it to bits

24/04/2025: So cute and great coffee!!! The cafe was clean and adorable! Very friendly and great service!

30/03/2025: We popped in here on a quick pit stop in Kinsale and Hannah the owner was so lovely! She made me a delicious ice mocha and then was so friendly and chatty she ended up finding out we’d just arrived and we’re visiting Baltimore and gave us a whole heap of places to go and see. We ticked every one of them off the list and they didn’t disappoint. Such a lovely coffee shop to pop into when we’d just arrived! Made us feel so welcome

08/05/2025: We had a fabulous meal that we won't soon forget. There were 8 of us and the service was perfect. Our steaks were so tasty and the sides were delicious.

29/04/2025: This is no ordinary restaurant as the staff's friendliness,knowledge and and all round level of service, plus the quality of the food enjoyed by all in my party made our visit a dining experience. You will not regret eating here.

17/05/2025: I'm still thinking about how good the breakfast sandwich was two weeks later. Lovely place, amazing food, wonderful service.

17/05/2025: Impeccable breakfast, seriously the best breakfast and possibly the best food so far. Ordered the open salmon toast breakfast. It came with a perfectly dressed micro green salad, the smoked salmon and toast were excellent as well. I got the full plate that came with poached eggs and halloumi as well. Halloumi was nice and lightly salty and well grilled. The eggs were either made by someone who actually likes poached eggs or has been well trained. No water, excess egg white gone, slightly runny yolk. Best poached eggs I have had outside my own kitchen. The service was friendly and the iced coffee was delicious. They also have a counter which was nice for a solo traveler to not feel bad about taking up an entire table. I will be back before leaving Kinsale!

13/05/2025: Such a great pub! Amazing stew and the best swordfish steak.

04/05/2025: Good food and good drink! With good gluten-free options🙌🤗😋

16/05/2025: Lovely food and a great atmosphere. Staff were great even though they were really busy.

14/05/2025: The chowder was fantastic, as was the beet salad. Good service for our lunch visit. The place was busy. Prices were reasonable. Friendly folks and smiling faces! Recommended by a local and did not disappoint.

16/05/2025: Wow is all we can say! Everything was incredible - calling out the Potato Gravas and the green salad complete with local flowers - amazing!

15/05/2025: Decent B&B, quiet, no breakfast, good and clean room. Nice restaurant, good food but little quantity.

17/05/2025: What an amazing hotel! We stayed here this weekend for a party what a beautiful place the hotel was amazing and the staff were so attentive we had such an amazing day thank you trident hotel

14/05/2025: A lovely hotel with beautiful views from my Hotel window.

18/04/2025: Simply wonderful, one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Every serving in the tasting menu was flawless, with some unique recipes and delightful service. Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough

18/03/2025: The best meal in Ireland by a mile. A small intimate restaurant with just 12 covers but the food was really wow. Each course an absolute gem with such great flavour and massive thought in its creation. Hats off to the chef! Stand out dishes were the langoustine and turbot, both utterly amazing. The main course duck was a little disappointing, as is often the case, being a little tough but the transition course just so wow and one of the best I’ve ever had! Dessert not bad either! A little over priced wine list but did not distract from the overall experience. Just hope they stay at the top of their game!
