The best restaurants in Kinsale

20/09/2025: I stopped in mid morning after strolling around town. Just wanted a tea and snack nothing heavy or big. The hot chocolate brownie and ice cream I ordered was easily one of the best things I’ve eaten since I’ve been here in Ireland! Every bit was savored! I left not a crumb!

15/09/2025: Coffee drunk in a fairy-tale setting☕️🥰

10/09/2025: Gorgeous cafe, pastries were next level, I ended up having 3! And the coffee was fabulous.

10/09/2025: Great mocha, great macha latte and fabulous pastries. Quick too

13/07/2025: Fab little locally run restaurant in the heart of kinsale very reasonable prices and the lady that runs it is just so lovely 😍. The food is fab 👌

21/06/2025: Lovely coffee and excellent service. Easy recommend.

24/09/2025: Unfortunately they were out of scones. If the waiter could have baked them I'd say he would have, he was so apoplectic. We had coffee and the apple and strawberry crumble instead. Beautifully presented with homemade vanilla ice cream. 10/10. Am already looking forward to going back.

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

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 ....

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.

06/09/2025: We ordered a decaf and regular latte, a yummy cookie and received amazing service as a bonus. We had the outside patio to ourselves on a lovely rainy Saturday afternoon. Great place to sit, sip and scroll when you’ve nothing else to do but relax. The atmosphere is calm & cozy, highly recommended.

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

20/08/2025: Helpful staff. Plenty parking.

23/07/2025: Wide range of goods available. Some of the own brand products are not great.

09/09/2025: Lovely little pub. Staff couldn't do enough for us. Live music and matches well catered for

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

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.

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.
