The best restaurantsof irish in Kinsale

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.

21/05/2026: Went for a birthday dinner. Booked for 5:30 and glad we did as very crowded later. Went for the early bird menu. Food was very good. The 3 courses were large and struggled to finish it all. They do a children's menu, but very short. The chicken gougons were homemade and delicious though and more like an adult portion. Good staff. Table in a glass covered area with heating and great view of sea and a small zen garden area on the other side. We hadn't been before and very happy with our choice.

21/05/2026: Really lovely setting in a tucked away corner of Kinsale. Staff were very welcoming and very friendly. The restaurant had 4 different sections/rooms, all various in look and feel and a good atmosphere in all even with how early we ate (6pm). Food was tasty but I thought very expensive for some of the dishes. €50 for a piece of black sole fish and a few potatoes just seemed way over priced even though cooked well and very nice. I had looked at the menu before booking but didn't realise how pricey some of the mains were. My cured salmon starter was a little bland but my partners Lobster bisque was divine. The meringue dessert was delicious. All in all a really lovely place to dine and I would look forward to going back again.

20/04/2026: Beautiful food - would recommend the turkish eggs - and very welcoming and friendly team!

17/04/2026: Magnificent breakfast burger and superb coffee with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Would highly recommend…..the mushrooms on toast were also amazing!!

13/12/2025: Went for a drink. Nice Guinness, good atmosphere, short of space and short of seating

07/12/2025: Outstanding Beamish, a warm friendly service and great grub

25/04/2026: Fantastic tasting menu. Every course was well-thought out, balanced, and absolutely delectable, not to mention, beautifully plated. The wines were perfectly paired to each course. The service was well paced and attentive. Helen and Paul were an absolute delight. This was the highlight of our time in Kinsale.

11/04/2026: Bastion was our first Michelin star dining experience and it was well worth it. We did the Discovery tasting menu and everything dish was delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable and the intimate setting gave the dining experience a personal touch.

20/05/2026: It was recommended for its food! But both breakfast and diner where below standard. Waiter seemed kind but inexperienced. Location is good.

17/05/2026: Great hotel perched right by the water in historic Kinsale. Open your window and you can hear the waves lapping the shore.

21/04/2026: Always hits the spot. Best Gastro food in Kinsale. Offer Gluten Free options too.

26/03/2026: Pleasant seaside pub with very good fish and chips
