21/02/2026: Great service - thank you Adra!

12/01/2026: Incredible food, incredible interior and exterior, great vibes. Very fair pricing and really nice wine and bonus my wife looked beautiful 😍

09/01/2026: Our favourite wine bar worldwide. Having sampled wine bars on five continents it’s always a pleasure to return to Kinsale and experience The Black Pig. One of the longest wine lists I have ever seen and caters for all tastes and budgets. Make sure you book as there may not be room if you pop in on chance, but they will always try and fit you in.

14/02/2026: Fantastic ♥️ thank you for delicious food and great service. Especially Lian ( I am not sure about correct spelling, sorry). All staff were amazing and friendly. Definitely we will be back soon. Despite the full seating we were always served and had delicious food on our table.

06/02/2026: Family lunch for 12xbodies here a few weeks back- every plate of food served was top-notch

24/01/2026: We had an excellent meal and drinks. 👍 Highly recommended. We were lucky and got a table without a reservation.

07/01/2026: To be fair the staff were fantastic, food was sensational, highly recommended

29/12/2025: Great menu with some really tasty dishes. Great value on their early bird menu too. Will definitely go again.

23/11/2025: Vendricks Restaurant, as usual, was absolutely superb. The decor inside the restaurant is top-class — very elegant and beautifully designed, and the festive Christmas decorations added a really warm, inviting touch that really enhanced our experience. The menu offers some lovely options, and I ordered the stuffed mushroom with goat’s cheese, which couldn’t have been any nicer. The presentation of the food was just amazing. My brother ordered the beef burger, and he said his meal was also 10/10. The staff are all extremely helpful and accommodating. I would most definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a really good meal in Killarney. You certainly won’t be disappointed, and I definitely hope to return again soon.

03/03/2026: Great experience. Staff is awesome

02/03/2026: Had an amazing breakfast with great atmosphere and surrounding. Zia is wonderful, warm and welcoming. Would love to come back again soon

11/01/2026: Amazing food. A very attentive service. Great recommendations. The lamb was divine. The prawn risotto was delicious. The goat cheese salad … nothing was wrong. Will be coming back for sure!

24/12/2025: Christmas eve. 5 in a family. Excellent.

18/02/2026: IN my experience, the best cooking in Dublin. Every meal represents a sublime culinary experience. Thank you for making last night such a special evening with out 90 year old friend. The best Caesar salad I have ever tasted. Everything we ordered was outstanding. Thank you Daniel for taking such care and making it so special.

15/02/2026: What a really great spot. I have been meaning to try this gem of a dining experience for some time and finally got around to it. I regret not going sooner. Sumptuous well cooked and presented dishes of ample portions. The side dishes were certainly not outshone by the superb mains. We had the duck and lamb shank which were both tender and delicious. Special mention for twice cooked potatoes as a side which are a standout. The really relaxed atmosphere was complemented by the extremely attentive and personable host the eponymous Daniel whose personal touch and friendly informality makes you feel as if you have known him for years. He is always on hand to explain each dish and what complements it best and to guide diners towards the most suitable wines pairings. In the desserts the unique deep fried ice cream is a must and the bread and butter pudding also has an interesting backstory. This restaurant is old style in all the best ways, good hearty quality food, classic setting and the personal touch that is rarely found these days.

16/01/2026: Absolutely loved it. Food was top notch. Staff couldn't have been any nicer. Seating was great.

01/01/2026: Had a really enjoyable chicken curry as main but I was very disappointed with the creme brulee as it was served on a large plate as a set custard. No caramelised top. I've had it before & I always look forward to it. I was going to make a point about it when we went to pay but we just got our bill & weren't asked if we were happy with the food or service.

04/02/2026: Incredible scallops and service ❤️

02/02/2026: Incredible experience. Flawless. World class.

07/03/2026: We came here with an organized tour. 33 people. This was an experience we won't forget! Had never slept inside a castle before. I would love to do this again.

28/02/2026: I am speechless??? I love a classy, upscale stay, but this was otherworldly. If anything else ever tops it, I'm convinced I'll have died and gone to heaven. The service was the best I've ever experienced. Richard greeted us cheerily and carried in all our bags, valet parked our car, and happily retrieved a few small items we'd left in the car door and brought them to our room. We were given a full tour of the room, and my boys were *thrilled* to see candy and stuffies waiting for them on the bed. At dinner in the Thomand, Matthew commented on the view from our room and greeted my boys by name. We were seated and cared for as though we were royalty. They surprised us and brought chocolate cake, complete with a candle and "happy 9th birthday" beautifully written in icing, and the server sang to my son during dinner! We were driven to and from the pool in the adjacent building whenever we wished, the rowboats on the pond are complimentary to use, and our falconry experience with Jack was a once in a lifetime experience we will treasure. Of course the castle and grounds itself are enchanting. A winding drive past gnarled, aged oak trees and a glistening pond set the tone for the stunning castle set behind them. It's beautifully furnished, landscaped, and decorated. The rooms strike a lovely balance of functionality, class, and welcoming warmth. I hope another Dromoland stay is in my future. :)

20/02/2026: You can't top this as a proper authentic fish and chips experience. If you want to taste the freshest fish in Ireland, parcelled in perfect batter, this is the place that delivers.

08/01/2026: Some of the nicest fish and chips I've ever had. Flaky fresh fish with light, crispy, delicious batter

06/01/2026: Incredible from start to finish. Friendly staff. Top Notch food. Had the pork belly and market fish pan fried salmon.

24/11/2025: I have dined here dozens of times from groups to solo visits and not once has Bob and his crew disappointed! Top class and we are lucky to have them in the area.
