The best restaurantsof irish in Kinsale

11/08/2025: Fantastic food, great service and nice ambiance.

07/08/2025: Stumbled on this great restaurant whilst in Kinsale for the night (Aussie touring Ireland for 3 weeks). My wife and I had a wonderfully memorable dinner sharing plates of monkfish, prawns, croquettes and charcuterie board washed down with a very nice Tempranillo. Fantastic food and very friendly staff in a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend.

20/07/2025: Fantastic food, lovely staff, great service and just a beautiful restaurant - great value and big portions!

18/07/2025: Beautiful food. Sweet potato side was unreal. Chips were phenomenal. Even the bread beforehand was delicious My duck main was phenomenal, my fiancé wasn't overly impressed with the aubergine main but maybe just wasn't hungry enough. Would try something else instead. Everything was delicious. Everybody elses food looked top class. Lovely atmosphere and ambience The creme brulee was the most mouth watering we've ever had. Celebrated our engagement and birthday in style. We will be back again Great service also.

13/07/2025: We drove 30 minutes to get coffee for a birthday we arrived at 2:40 and went to the coffee hatch to get takeaway coffees. we were waiting to order when a waitress came up to the hatch and said sorry we are done for the day and proceeded to close the hatch in my face I said are you sure we can't get coffees it's says your open till 3 the woman who I presume owned it butted in and attacked me she was very passive aggressive and made me feel uncomfortable she started speaking in a raised tone and gave a speach about how they ran out of ice, we're closed for the day and so on. I think that's completely unbelievable I am certain they would have an ice machine and there were people finishing up their meal so would not be closing till they finished anyway I am absolutely appalled at their service and will never be back and severely recommend avoiding this spot! Worst service ever

26/06/2025: Place was busy so we had to wait a few minutes, however the server/owner not have been more helpful. Small but quality menu. Food arrived promptly and was plentiful. Would recommend either the breakfast focaccia or the tuna melt. Well worth visiting if ever in Kinsale, will be back again!

15/08/2025: Only qualm I had was parking. It was ridiculously crazy trying to find a parking spot. But the hotel was amazing, staff was great and professional... I would definitely recommend.

25/07/2025: A gem in the heart of Kinsale, The White Lady offers more than just a place to eat or stay, it’s an experience. Anthony is an absolute gent who truly goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome. The food is delicious. Great atmosphere that is lively, and full of craic. Whether you’re dropping in for a bite or staying the night, The White Lady delivers every time. Looking forward to going back!

13/08/2025: Our first pub upon arriving in Ireland. The exterior was beautiful, the interior a little dated, but it felt like an Irish pub. The fish and chips were so good. I loved it. The sausages on the kids' menu weren't a hit, and the burgers were good. However, the beef isn't at all like in France; it's stronger and more compact. A good portion served. My partner really enjoyed the Guinness. We recommend it 😊

12/08/2025: This is a great locals pub and restaurant just outside of the main part of Kinsale. It’s great to pop in here for a a bite or drink before or after doing the scilly walk. The food is great although service can be forgetful. Yellow walls, flowers, wood beams and dog friendly.

23/08/2025: Really enjoyed the homemade lasagna. Kids cleared their plates! Friendly staff, but it's the little things that matter. Arrived quite early but we're still accommodated...plastic cups for kids (not a lot restaurants have them) so a proper kid friendly restaurant...great 90's playlist in the background and when I asked for a pint glass of Coke...I got a pint glass!

19/08/2025: €30 for prawn scampi and a liquidy fish pie, standards slipping, plenty of other good eateries in Kinsale

20/08/2025: Food was good, service was not so good, serve was abrupt and rushed .

16/08/2025: Clearly the best restaurant we've been to in Ireland. Succulent dishes and an excellent wine selection. To top it all off, a lovely and helpful staff. All this for a more than reasonable bill.

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.

28/07/2025: Very nice experience. The cocktails I ordered had a nice amount of alcohol in them. The food was amazing, perfect taste and portions left me full but still had room for dessert. Overall a lovely restaurant, I do recommend.

09/07/2025: It's been 4 days since we experiened Bastion's tasting menu and the flavors of the Wagyu beef with mushroom sauce still linger in our heads as one of the best things we've ever put in our mouth. Everything we tasted was amazing but that particular dish was all we talked about the rest of our weekend. Other highlights were the cured langoustine dish and laminated whole wheat roll. Excellent all around - the food, the service, presentation. You will not regret booking your table here.

05/07/2025: Superior course of small bites along with wine pairings makes Bastion a must dine Michelin Star restaurant! You will love it! Fantastic meeting Ellen and Chef Paul. Best of luck for your continued success! Donald and Lisa from North Carolina.

10/08/2025: Room was extremely small, floor was loud and creaky in whole room. no power points in bathrooms, shower leaked, no small fridge at all. No shampoos or conditioners even. Challenging to get in and out of shower around toilet. Lift didnt work well and was tiny. Receptionist was lovely but apart from that I wouldnt recommend. Extremely overpriced for what it was we were disappointed for what we paid. Certainly no more than a 2-3 star room and paid 4-5 star price.

26/07/2025: The coffee was delicious and the cakes were Tasty too

12/07/2025: Slow and confused. When the food finally arrived, it was cold.

24/06/2025: Had to wait ages for food that wasn't worth it. Service was super slow, drinks came warm and the only thing they responded was bringing ice cubes. Never again. Edit based on the comment: We didn't have Heineken.
