Man Friday
Kinsale
27/05/2025: First dinner in Kinsale and Ireland and it was incredible.We were sat at a table in the covered terrace by the big open fireplace.The cooked oysters lobster and black sole were perfectly cooked so fresh - even the green salad was a highlight with the mix of leaves and dressing and such friendly efficient staff
26/05/2025: The food was ok although Fishy Fishy across the harbor is much better. The hake was good and salad was fresh. Nothing out of the ordinary or extraordinary.

Ohk
Kinsale
17/05/2025: Impeccable breakfast, seriously the best breakfast and possibly the best food so far. Ordered the open salmon toast breakfast. It came with a perfectly dressed micro green salad, the smoked salmon and toast were excellent as well. I got the full plate that came with poached eggs and halloumi as well. Halloumi was nice and lightly salty and well grilled. The eggs were either made by someone who actually likes poached eggs or has been well trained. No water, excess egg white gone, slightly runny yolk. Best poached eggs I have had outside my own kitchen. The service was friendly and the iced coffee was delicious. They also have a counter which was nice for a solo traveler to not feel bad about taking up an entire table. I will be back before leaving Kinsale!
17/05/2025: I'm still thinking about how good the breakfast sandwich was two weeks later. Lovely place, amazing food, wonderful service.

Bastion
Kinsale
18/04/2025: Simply wonderful, one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Every serving in the tasting menu was flawless, with some unique recipes and delightful service. Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough
18/03/2025: The best meal in Ireland by a mile.
A small intimate restaurant with just 12 covers but the food was really wow. Each course an absolute gem with such great flavour and massive thought in its creation. Hats off to the chef!
Stand out dishes were the langoustine and turbot, both utterly amazing. The main course duck was a little disappointing, as is often the case, being a little tough but the transition course just so wow and one of the best I’ve ever had!
Dessert not bad either!
A little over priced wine list but did not distract from the overall experience.
Just hope they stay at the top of their game!

13/04/2025: We stayed here for my brothers 40th birthday and we had the best laugh with Tony, breakfast was fab and couldn’t fault a thing. Will definitely return the next time I’m staying in kinsale
04/04/2025: The bar was hopping, absolutely packed, but Tony (owner) made space for us at the bar.
We had starters and the food was delicious! The drinks, the atmosphere, the service were all excellent - can't praise The White Lady enough. Will definitely be back.

The Old Bank House
Kinsale
10/04/2025: There was 1 key at check in for 2 people. Went back to ask if we could get a 2nd key cut and were moved to another room. 2nd room had tea/coffee but no kettle, espresso machine or fan, so we grabbed them from the first room as to not bother staff. There was also no iron. Window hard to open. Safe hard to lock and couldn’t unlock it. Maintenance arrived and unlocked it manually. I asked how to relock it and he said he had bad English. I was a bit worried as I had to leave and had nowhere to store passport/cash. As I was leaving, a manager arrived and figured out the safe batteries were dead, so she gave me new batteries. Room service gave us new towels and water only but didn’t replenish coffee or milk. There is no fan in the bathroom. Shower was cold on 3rd day, and reception said to wait 20 minutes while they boosted the hot water. I had a do not disturb sign on the door, yet cleaning staff scared me by walking in without knocking. To note, there were no internal-only locks, which seemed a bit unsafe, especially considering we were told that a previous guest walked out with one of the keys to our original room.
All in all, the room was clean, bed comfortable (as long as you don’t fall into the middle where two twins were pushed together) and location great. The issue is it is a 3 star hotel billed as 5 star, so overpriced/overrated. If it were listed as a 3 star and priced accordingly, there would be no issue.
07/04/2025: Food soup of day, vegetables as I think it best ever I taste! Thank you

Dinos
Kinsale
14/05/2025: We order today 2 fish and chips and fish goujons also chips chesse and curry none of them where nice very bad quality fish full of oil and frozen very bad we won't be back for sure chips used to be nice but no also they was so bad last time we was here was All nice what happened with quality???poor
14/05/2025: We waited a long time outside to be accommodated, but later found out the restaurant wasn't even full and had more available tables.
We were offended by one Filipino staff when we asked for tap water instead of ordering drinks. She responded sarcastically by saying, "Aaayyy, nagtitipid kayo?"—implying that we were trying to save money. Is that really a proper way to treat customers, even lets say if we're both Filipinos?
Waited long time to serve our food, and she served a wrong order, that order is for the next table. Didn't hear apology from her. The restaurant was very noisy because of her, she was loudly talking and laughing with the other staff as if she were at home. Other customers even looking at her and seems to be in shock.
Great location. Food portions were good. Prices were reasonable. We liked our food. But having good food is a useless if the staff is rude.

The Lord Kingsale
Kinsale
06/01/2025: Took a few family members into Kinsale, but the experience here at this particular bar left a very bad taste in the mouth. It's bad enough the behavior and attitude of some patrons, but the staff too? I've been going to bars for a fair few years now, I don't think I have ever experienced the carry on nor the overall tone I heard and seen in the Lord Kingsale. Would not recommend on any level.
04/11/2024: Just had a drink. Good service. Nice for a quiet pint
