Fishermanâs Catch (food truck)

23/11/2025: Fish and chips is excellent from here really enjoyed them. We were watching dolphins playing in the estuary while we ate.
20/11/2025: Great fish, but chips could be better (too thick and thus not crispy enough to me)

14/05/2026: I have been dining here for many years and have never had an unsatisfactory meal. Its a small unpretentious restaurant on a busy street, but definitely worth a visit. You can also get food to go.

Blue Haven Restaurant
Kinsale
04/05/2026: Pricing gouging like you wouldn't see in Temple Bar. The price of a pint went up every hour. I understand that every bar in kinsale needs to make a few bob for the 7s weekend. But this was just extortion. Adding an extra star because the staff were lovely in fairness.
03/05/2026: Very poor service was waiting for 20minutes to order

Jo's Café & Rooms
Kinsale
21/12/2025: Yummy coffee, hot chocolate, and cakes. Been two weekends in a row now so we can sample more of the cake selections.
17/11/2025: My wife and I were in kinsale for a day. We walked around and found Jo's Cafe. Everything looked delicious. We ordered Carrot cake , orange cake and raspberry scones because we couldn't decide. We were so glad we bought them all. Hands down the best scone in Ireland . The carrot cake was to die for and the orange cake was a new taste I never experienced and was glad I did. If your in Kinsale dont miss out.

seeds bakery
Kinsale
01/01/2026: Found this place on TikTok, and the pastries did not disappoint! Such a stunning selection and all excellent.
31/12/2025: Quick purchase on the way to the bus. Ate when arrived in Cork. Bun tasted like it was from a "too good to go" but without the discount. Sausage roll much better, however expected more taste for the price.

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.
