The best restaurants in Kinsale

12/07/2025: Slow and confused. When the food finally arrived, it was cold.

24/06/2025: Had to wait ages for food that wasn't worth it. Service was super slow, drinks came warm and the only thing they responded was bringing ice cubes. Never again. Edit based on the comment: We didn't have Heineken.

01/09/2025: Friendly staff, delicious food "pizza". We loved it

26/05/2025: Very poor delivery service .............. when you ring and ask you get " please hold " desperate customer service ....

21/08/2025: We ordered a pizza, crepe and a milkshake and everything was really nice and the place couldn't be better located.

17/08/2025: Review: Today we were at Milk's Market Café and we want to congratulate the entire team, because the service was impeccable from the very first moment. They made us feel very welcome, with a warm, friendly atmosphere, and always attentive to every detail. The food was delicious, but what we want to highlight most is how well they served us, with a smile and great professionalism. Eduardo, congratulations to your team; you can clearly see the care with which they work. We will definitely return.

02/09/2025: Popped in for lite lunch. Had the chowder. Good choice. Good staff. Friendly place.

31/08/2025: Lovely quick lunch. I had the club sandwich and my husband had the chowder combo (soup and sandwich) - service was excellent - thank you Edie.

22/06/2025: Looks like great technique and very pretty food , if a bit of a “ mousse” overload . Nice interior. Service was good. Food was … terrible to be honest. Poorly put together tastes. Too salty . Too Smokey . Too sharp . In short … unbalanced . Really didn’t enjoy the meal at all . Also at more than 100 euro a seat …. It was a rip off. Who the hell smokes a beautiful piece of halibut !!!! Poor .

25/05/2025: Rare indeed. Simply the finest meal in my 76 years on this planet. Pierre our host and sommelier was the epitome of gracious and knowledgeable. As a wine geek he answered every question about our five wines in depth. We had 7 courses and 18 separate tastes. The base of the menu is seafood with South Indian spices. Chef Meeran is classically trained in London but in the last two years has added his expertise in Indian spices. The result is out of this world. We feel blessed that we were able to get a booking at the last minute. Our guide books said Kinsale was a foodie heaven. I concur. The trout main dish was smoked in South Indian spices with a heavenly sauce. The tasting menu changes daily as does the wine pairings to match the courses.

06/08/2025: Right in the middle of the town. The macha latte (oat milk) and coffee is excellent here as are the home made croissants, pan au chocolate and scones. Place to sit down and enjoy the sound of the café available also. Ta very much Jo and team.

22/07/2025: Best sausage roll I’ve ever eaten

25/08/2025: WiFi is available, some seats have sockets, indoor seats are on the ground floor, and semi-outdoor seats are in the basement

31/07/2025: Coffee served in dirty cups and saucers .. when asked for clean cups which we received 5 minutes later, the same coffee was in it … not hot or fresh! Not good.

30/08/2025: We had a take away this evening, Saturday, it was very busy there. Sadly when we got back to our van to eat them the chips were so hard, dry and overcooked they almost broke our teeth. The fish was good but the batter was oily. Very disappointing.

29/08/2025: Very disappointed. Take away is frozen pre battered fish dropped straight into the fryer. Tasted like it too. Restaurant may be different.

18/08/2025: Lovely place to visit and talk to Anthony.

01/06/2025: This venue shows no respect for the town or its residents. Extremely loud music continues deep into the night, well past midnight, disturbing anyone nearby. There is no sense of local charm or consideration — just noise. A very disappointing experience that leaves a negative impression of Kinsale.

25/07/2025: In ottima posizione nel centro di Kinsale offre un ambiente tranquillo e ben arredato, piatti ben preparati, servizio puntuale e prezzi ragionevoli

27/06/2025: Visited here for lunch during the week. The place was fairly quiet. We were sat at a nice window table but it took 10 minutes to get menus and a further 15 to have our order taken. We went for crab salad and fish and chips. The food arrived pretty quickly and the portions were large. Both dishes were very disappointing. The fish was not fresh and totally overcooked. It was mushy inside the thick hard batter. The crab was quite watery and not very tasty. All in all, not a very good experience.
