Max's
Kinsale
23/10/2025: This is a gem of a restaurant in Kinsale. I visited with colleagues on a weekday evening and had a wonderful time.
Everything was excellent, especially the fish steak, which was the best I've had in Europe. The staff were friendly, and the wine they recommended paired well with it.
I'd love to visit again.
25/09/2025: Cosi, choice of simple menus, excellent dishes with a very subtle combination of vegetables and fish

Blue Haven Restaurant
Kinsale
28/10/2025: I was there for a birthday party, and we ate dinner, dessert, and a drink. We really liked delicious the 24-hour roasted beef, and the mushroom tart appetizer was equally delicious. The cocktail was authentic and tasty, not fake like in other places. The atmosphere, music, cleanliness, and friendly staff are all great. You can tell that the entire staff takes good care of this place. I'll definitely be back. I recommend it.

Rare
Kinsale
25/10/2025: I like a good meal. By good I mean a masterclass in balance, complexity, good ingredients magnificently combined and prepared . . . Rare provided probably the best and most interesting meal I've ever had in Ireland. Wonderful subtle Indian hints brought to Cork produce. Absolutely wonderful!
28/09/2025: Definitely the best dining experience I've ever had.
I went to Rare to celebrate my birthday and was impressed with the treatment I received. They really made me feel special!!
I had a chef coming over to my table to explain every single one of the plates. It was great to learn the story behind the amazing flavour each one of the plates had.
The price falls into the high-end category, but if you enjoy a unique dining experience, I believe you won't regret visiting Rare.
