The best restaurantsof irish in Kinsale

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.

19/07/2026: Yet another fantastic meal here with a small group of friends. Super food from start to finish, attentive but unobtrusive service from the lovely staff and as ever outstanding wine options.

12/07/2026: Excellent food, okay service, expensive but very quality. Overall - very good!

15/06/2026: Charming spot by the water. Beamish on tap. Great fish pie. Very nice service.

08/06/2026: Really good food ! The crab claws were so good, in a flavorful creamy sauce, and the fish&chips was really crispy and fresh. Nice place for a lunch.

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.

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!!

13/05/2026: We came for the set menu on a weekday and the restaurant was relatively quiet. Overall I enjoyed the meal and my personal favourite was the langoustine course, which was light and the langoustine was super fresh. The courses that I didn’t enjoyed was the fish with the prawn broth (v salty) and the main paired with the beetroot sauce and Szechuan pepper - somehow it over complicates the dish and the combination don’t work. One of the course was a round croissant served with some beautiful Irish butter - but again I’m happy with a simple good warm bread that could highlight the flavour of the butter .. instead of putting butter on a croissant that’s already made with a lot of butter.

04/05/2026: An amazing experience, superb tasting menu and paired wines. Impeccable service. The culinary highlight of our 10 day trip to the south and west of Ireland.

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
