12/03/2026: Martha was an absolute delight, the food was marvelous & the overall atmosphere was very welcoming

09/03/2026: Unforgettable! We enjoyed a lengthy visit with the current owner. Our Montana connection gifted us with a forever memorable history, flag, and Meagher lesson. It's been a few years, but an memorable, meaningful time!

15/01/2026: lovely bar with great local and holiday people at the northern part of Ireland, scenery is great around this area

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

21/02/2026: Adra was great, very helpful and attentive!

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

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

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.

11/03/2026: Friendly welcome and popular spot. Food is Old fashioned, home style, with little flair or originality. Rustic/clumsy plating. Small tables and tightly packed. Poor value for money considering the delivery. €3 supplement for a single, small scallop served with pork belly.

07/03/2026: Food is very creative regarding taste and presentation. Not a profit chasing place. It's a friendly, warm atmosphere with experienced staff in kitchen and on the floor.

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.

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. :)
