The best restaurantsof irish in Kinsale

26/01/2025: This review is a couple of months late, with my apologies. We enjoyed a spectacular meal in November 2024 and I had wanted to say thank you so much. The pumpkin & parmesan croquettes were life-changing... the gnocchi sublime. The thing that made it perfect though was the service which was warm, enthusiastic and professional. Our server was unflappable even when the table next to us set their napkin on fire, and seemed completely uninterested in putting it out. We got an awful fit of the giggles but she was serenity itself as she saved the day. I would come back to Kinsale just to visit The Black Pig. The food was truly the best meal I've had in 10 years, maybe more - every dish perfection. The prices are a steal compared to the highway robbery that's taken over Dublin with largely boring, poorly executed food.

19/01/2025: Well isn’t this quite the find! So lovely we went back the 2nd night … Staff … adorable,helpful, friendly, warm, kind ✅ Food …. Fantastic … not your traditional sit down eat restaurant experience but much more laid back with the feeling of sharing boards/ plates but you don’t have to share if that’s not your thing! ✅ Wine … my husband’s idea of heaven … extensive wine lists … glasses available for all …. interested staff to chat with …. Suits me extremely well too … a glass or two of bubbly and a yummy pudding wine … all in all suits us both. ✅ Do book early … it’s extremely busy but they do have walk ins at the bar but you’ll need to go early … we were delighted. Thank you

16/03/2025: The usual fantastic experience here . Excellent food and Cocktails. Great service despite being very busy.

28/02/2025: Tried this place twice. Gave it a second chance and wasnt impressed. The aubergine fritter was ok but very thin so it felt like it was more crispy grease than aubergine. The short rib was ok, nothing to write home about, but the potato was very salty. The baos were good. The burger wasn't great, too greasy, not much toppings, missing essentials like tomato, lettuce, pickle. The burger meat itself was fine but nothing great. Chips far too greasy, no salad on the side. Honestly don't think I'd recommend it. The cocktails are nice we had those before so maybe more for a snacks and cocktails but couldn't say I'd go back for a main meal.

21/03/2025: My partner and myself had the pleasure of dining here last Sunday. It was absolutely amazing. Everything was perfect. The rump of lamp was like cutting into a fillet steak. Perfection.🥰

19/03/2025: Our hotel did not recommend getting a reservation. And we went and there were not many people there at the time that we arrived, but the staff again seemed frustrated that we did not have a reservation. The portions on most meals were very nice. I had a steak that was magnificent. Some people got the shrimp and were disappointed.

09/02/2025: This hotel is really nice. All the staff were friendly and made me feel comfortable throughout the stay. I had dinner in the restaurant and the seafood chowder was amazing. The free breakfast was also very good.

02/02/2025: Excellent time staying here for the new Beatles Festival. Great food, cocktails, gorgous room, and class music venue. We had a great time, thanks to the staff and positivity of this establishment.

28/01/2025: The fried chicken in lime and yoghurt was a delight and I enjoyed it. The vanilla ice cream sandwich which is a candied brioche sandwich with caramel, was delicious. The service was flawless and the staff ensured that I enjoyed my time here.

01/01/2025: (Traducido por Google) Habitaciones espaciosas realmente agradables y servicio atento en un ambiente informal. La comida era muy buena y razonable para la calidad. (Original) Really nice spacious rooms and attentive service in a casual setting. Food was very good and reasonable for the quality.

21/03/2025: Great food at reasonable prices.

17/03/2025: This place is awesome! I had the burger and it was great. Lovely pint of Guinness and great service! Pub side is great.

04/03/2025: This is place is simply my favourite place to eat fish and chips in Kinsale. The quality of the fish is simply sublime and the portions are huge so you're paying for what they give you. Been to this place 4 times already and the quality is consistent, so I highly recommend it!

22/02/2025: Here on work event. Staff couldn't be any nicer. Will be back again with my family.

03/03/2025: We visited Kinsale for only part of a day while on a cruise tour. (what an adorable town!!) I stopped at their outdoor window to order a chai to warm up. Wow! Blown away by the flavor!! The tastiest I've yet to have in my 50 years of life! If I could bring their recipe back to the States.. I gladly would!! Everything is so bland here!! Thank you for the tasty warm drink on our chilly day in Kinsale! 🥰

01/02/2025: I’ve visited OHK a few times and it’s always 10/10. Such a gem that we travelled down from East Cork. I’ll need to return again for the Turkish eggs and the vegan cookie!!

20/03/2025: Quiet and out of the way. A great bar and restaurant on site and easy access into everything in Kinsale

09/03/2025: Super hotel with views of the water from the room. Food in the bar was excellent as was the breakfast each morning. We highly recommend this hotel.

05/01/2025: Amazing breakfast here! The place was literally across the street from our accommodation. The breakfast is highly recommended!

05/01/2025: Customer service is really shitty. You get rejected on the entrance, when you’re not in your late 40’s and wear expensive brands.

15/03/2025: Less than pleased with our experience. I have been coming to this Dinos for years and it has been my favourite chipper in Cork, however today's experience is making me question that. The shop was quiet, only 1 customer when we went in and we ordered 3 basic meals. The people assembling the meals moved extremely slowly - almost a snails pace. Which we didnt mind at first but they honestly looked like they'd rather be anywhere else and it was reflected in the assembly. The quality of our burgers was quite poor and because of their slow pace, our food was stone cold by the time we were eating 5 minutes later. For some reason, one of the people serving felt the need to physically squash the chips as they wrapped them so they came out with a disgusting appearance. I could hold the bag upside down without them budging! I had to peel the paper off of them. I'd never had an experience like this before and not sure if I'll be back.

14/03/2025: Great location and decorations, decent food, but very oldschool service attitude, doesn't let you split the bill, 1 person needs to pay for everything, super stupid concept
