10/09/2025: Wonderful experience.. lovely staff and a genial host..John Lordan! Magnificent views and Old Head memorabilia!

06/09/2025: Food is fantastic, owner is so friendly they have plenty of parking and seating outside and inside is decorated beautifully we love coming here when we are in the area

16/08/2025: Great food and service. Would highly recommend.

02/08/2025: Nice bakery selection, but the service is chaotic.

25/08/2025: I Would recommend this restaurant highly as it was probably best meal I have ever had.

21/08/2025: Absolutely the best Michelin star restaurant I have eaten at. Paul and Helen and their food is amazing.

13/08/2025: Gorgeous selection of sweet and savoury bakes. The sandwich bread was sooo soft and the filling was delicious. We loved everything we tried. Can't wait to visit again sometime.

13/04/2025: Ordered coffees and pastries this morning. The seasonal danish was the nicest pastry I’ve ever eaten. Would recommend going out of your way to visit this cafe!

08/06/2025: Had the classic. Great home made sausage with just the right spices. Roll held together till the end. Onions and peppers were tender and fresh.

04/06/2025: Contained in the huge English Market SC ,this place stands out from all the other exceptional vendors. Just a small stall with usually only 3 workers, it can turn out food to die for. All sandwiches are make rite on the spot. You can customize or order any of the house specials. Grab a special, find a quiet spot, (not possible) and enjoy.

12/08/2025: I've only been to the restaurant and everytime the food has been excellent. Would recommend!

10/08/2025: Lovely location, We only had drinks but the Hotel looks clean and really well kept. The Staff were friendly and welcoming. We'll be back.

27/08/2025: Read the reviews and that's why we came here. Poor service in my opinion. The waiting staff not particularly bothered. My gin and tonic came in ?? Polycarbonate smirnoff cocktail glass. Bar tender swore it was glass. It was definitely not!!!! Very disappointed. Husbands Pesto penne pasta very tasty but came with chips ( who does that) My chicken salad very tasty and I asked for dressing on the side which was how it was delivered. On the whole would not recommend and not return

16/08/2025: Fantastic value and great food. Can't ask for more.

25/07/2025: Lovely small restaurant situated on the edge of the bay. Food is varied and delicious. Prices are reasonable with very friendly and pleasant staff

22/07/2025: If the kind of place where the staff look at you up and down, and don’t even smile is your vibe then this is your spot.

11/07/2025: I have eaten here many times and have always found the food, the atmosphere and particularly the staff very good. On this occasion, the staff as always were lovely but I was extremely disappointed with the choice of dishes for coeliacs/ gluten intolerant diners. I decided to opt for seafood chowder as my main course as there were no gf seafood options for main course and the chips are not gluten free. The chowder was ok, but what was so disappointing was what was clearly basic shop-bought bread served with the chowder. The gf sliced pan was toasted. A real own goal for a restaurant that sells itself as a Seafood restaurant and charges above average prices. I chose roulade for dessert which was quite good, but did not make up for the well below average starter that I had to choose as a main course.

10/07/2025: The food is as beautiful as you could hope for, I had an Indian curry, but I was afraid it might be to hot, and the server said I could try it, and if it was, she would get me something to add, but it was lovely, and we had dessert and coffees, and they were lovely as well, definitely will call back sometime.

13/08/2025: Love getting my lunch here, The new smokey hot sauce is unreal,

04/08/2025: Food was great and the service by Kate was excellent.

16/08/2025: Good service, clean, and well located. However the room was outdated especially the en suite, poor wifi in the room, and uncomfortable bed. Needs a bit of a refresh.

15/08/2025: We had an absolutely spectacular meal at White Lady.Asian Fusion type category of the broad menu. So mouth wateringly delicious we did not want it to end. Anthony, the owner, greeted us so warmly and so graciously and made room for us on a busy Friday evening although we did not have a reservation. It was sheer delight and our best dining experience in Ireland not only in Kinsale.

20/07/2025: Lovely bar ,very nice staff member serving and a lovely outdoor area as well

09/07/2025: Follow the locals, Hackett bar was small, but full of character and locals.

02/09/2025: Mannings offers delicious tapas in the evenings. Casually stylish surrounds, relaxed vibes and friendly, helpful staff. The food is excellent (the bravas are sensational!) and they sell wine on tap (genius!). Always guaranteed a good evening - we love it there! The deli/cafe/shop that they operate in the day is also amazing too - an awesome selection of local cheeses, lots of interesting and yummy food treats, as well as good coffee and huge croissants! If you're in the area, definitely pop in!

28/08/2025: Excellent coffee and service. I love this little treasure.

17/08/2025: The rudest staff I have ever come across, especially the manager/ bar man with an English accent. Shushing customers and speaking abruptly to us because he couldn't cope with the 2 groups of customers coming into the bar for food at the same time. It wasn't even busy, but he couldnt handle it. We all have bad days, but the look on the staffs' faces suggest this is a regular occurance from him. The worst customer service I have ever experienced. We ended up leaving. I feel sorry for the other staff, especially the lovely waiting staff who were trying to explain to him which group was to be seated next and looking at us with an apologetic look on their faces. Avoid at all costs.

14/07/2025: As a family of 4 eating out in 2025 is very expensive now. What’s worse is paying a large amount and being disappointed, either with the quality or the amount of food. We have been here several times now and have never been disappointed. Portion size is amazing and gives excellent value. Food was delicious. Friendly service. We’ll be back again.
