The best restaurants in 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.

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.

12/09/2026: Great value and pizza is unreal. Lovely chill atmosphere. Looking forward to our return 👍

06/09/2026: Such an incredible place! Best coffee in Kinsale and the staff is amazing!! Highly recommended

08/09/2026: A yummy Fishy Fishy fish pie & mash, finished with a fab sticky toffee pudding. I’ve not had one in over eight years - what a delight. Light and fluffy with a delicious treacle syrup 🤤

08/09/2026: The fish pie was seasoned so well i didn't even notice the rotten fish that gave me the meanest food poisoning of my entire life. Wouldn't recommend.

01/09/2026: Dined here in mid July and they looked after me well on my birthday. Very strong wine pairing. Food all lovely.

22/08/2026: Amazing experience. 100% recommended 👌🏾

30/08/2026: A very good little sweet/savory break! We bought some bread which was excellent, and that's coming from a Frenchman! A bit pricey but very good quality.

17/08/2026: Cute and delicious bakery. Had the zatar danish and have been dreaming of it ever since. Good coffee and atmosphere

15/09/2026: Saag paneer and cheese naan executed perfectly

14/09/2026: Had some chicken biryani. Huge portion, fresh flavor, excellent chicken, perfectly cooked rice. Veggies were fresh and crisp. Meat samosas and Cobra beer was excellent. You can't go wrong, especially if you're looking for a change from pub food. Must try this.

11/09/2026: Was recommended by a local and didn't disappoint. God some of the town gossip in this history rich pub. Could easily spend the whole night here

04/09/2026: Great atmosphere and great drinks. Dark and fun

03/09/2026: The portions were very small for the price. For example the chicken ceased wrap was 12 euro and was just tiny. Although the atmosphere was lovely, the food was delicious and the staff were very attentive with quick service.

29/08/2026: This place is very welcoming, and the sweets and coffee make a visit to this beautiful village even more special. Eduardo is lovely and, thanks to his extensive experience, he recommended lots of things to see in Ireland. Greetings from a Valencian and an Asturian! 😀

19/09/2026: Great for a local lunch when in Kinsale.

15/09/2026: Great location, super tasty food. The kitchen was working very hard to serve the food at a busy time, so we had to wait a bit for our food, but it was 100% worth it. A cozy place.

06/06/2026: I had dinner here recently and it was delicious. Staff are very friendly and professional and very knowledgeable about their gluten free options. Most of the menu could be adapted for gluten free. Staff were also very aware of cross contamination. I had a very relaxing and enjoyable experience.

20/05/2026: It was recommended for its food! But both breakfast and diner where below standard. Waiter seemed kind but inexperienced. Location is good.

11/04/2026: Grab anything. Don't think about it. It will be great.

02/04/2026: Great coffee and service. Will definitely return for a coffee ✨

03/08/2026: Lovely little cafe! Nice food, service, and reasonably priced.

13/07/2026: A lovely café offering various lunch options, with incredibly friendly service! Pleasant terrace (facing the street).

04/08/2026: The cheeses are incredible, I'm in love!

04/07/2026: Really good and affordable lobster roll, very impressed

18/08/2026: We like their pre-made and fresh made sandwiches. It’s definitely a great value for the money.
