The best restaurantsof irish in Kinsale

30/11/2024: Simply not enough stars to award to this champion of wine bars, sublime, fun and such amazing staff who clearly enjoyed their work - just fantastic

21/11/2024: We got so lucky to find Black Pig in Kinsale. We arrived in town after a long drive in the off-season and didn’t have reservations for dinner. We “found” Black Pig and luckily they had 2 seats at the bar. This is an exceptional dining experience. Its warm embrace comes from the ambiance of the intimate rooms and the welcoming staff. Veal carpaccio was a special of the night; it melted in our mouths. Monkfish bites and liver pate were to die for!!! It has a local, neighborhood vibe…many patrons knew each other which adds to the hospitality of the place. We’ll be back. ☘️

28/11/2024: A great place to have breakfast. The decoration is beautiful and very cozy. We ordered a couple of dishes (the focaccia sandwich and the Turkish eggs) and they were 10. Highly recommended 😋😋.

16/11/2024: The best brunch in Cork with a lovely atmosphere

26/11/2024: Food was just alright. Server seemed a bit flustered even though it was not too busy. Plenty of other great restaurants in Kinsale to try

22/11/2024: The proof is in the pudding!! (No really get the pudding) Great people and food is DELICIOUS—highlight of our trip culinary-wise!

12/11/2024: Special place for a special occasion.. Really great place here , top class in every way , great food , great service and fantastic location ( ask for a table in the courtyard) .. a little bit more expensive than most but well worth it .. Cheers 🥂

03/11/2024: Went here to celebrate engagement with our extended family. Food was really nice but the service was very poor. Attitude of the waitress was very bad and felt we were inconveniencing her throughout the whole evening. Had to go to the main bar to ask for drinks because no one was coming to our table. Starters came out for half of our party and by the time we had finished it, the remaining starters came . Ordered sticky toffee pudding and mine was cold while others were warm. Ordered soup and garlic bread for a child and only the garlic bread came.

17/10/2024: Had the sea trout thee one Friday afternoon delicious 😋 at 16 euros couldn't fault it

11/09/2024: The hotel staff goes above and beyond, for real. They were incredibly helpful. We were amazed by their hospitality. Wow! The room was huge, well equipped and the premises are beautiful.

09/12/2024: Good food at reasonable prices served with a smile

02/12/2024: Lovely diner, and a bit of craic in the bar after. Nice friendly bar.

19/11/2024: We arrived in kinsale after a very early flight into Cork. Despite check in time being 1400 we decided to see where the hotel was in relation to the village. It was approximately 9.30 and Anthony was at reception. Not only could we check in now.. he recommended a fabulous walk and walking holes on the route. Had a super after noon visiting the bulman and the spaniard. Dinner was back at the hotel, and Anthony was not joking when he said his food was superb.. 10/10 for the t bone steaks and fresh fish. We dined unnthe bar by candlelight. An early night followed and after a fabulous comfy sleep we went down for breakfast... wow !!! Limitless hot drinks.. orange juice.. breakfast however you liked it. Cannot fault this hotel at all. I juat wished we had booked longer bit we will be back. Out new fave place !!!

30/10/2024: From the minute we entered The White Lady on Sunday afternoon Anthony and his staff were fantastic. They were most welcoming to us in the restaurant even though we had the cheek to turn up at this wonderful spot without a booking, but luckily we arrived just before the evening rush and were very kindly accommodated. The food was absolutely top class from start to finish. A great selection of wine was also on offer which did not disappoint. The cozy jazz bar is also a lovely spot to enjoy a few drinks listening to great music. Will definitely be returning and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Kinsale.

23/09/2024: Lovely atmosphere and fantastic staff. We did the tasting menu and wine pairing and cannot say enough good things about this establishment. Thank you so much for having us!

21/09/2024: Bastion is well worth your time; even if it’s only for a drink and a snack at the bar. We stopped in without a reservation and were able to spend some time at the bar. It was a welcome change from a noisy pub and the bar snacks were next level. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and extremely accommodating. You could tell they take great care in making guests feel welcome; even folks like us who popped in off the street after seeing the Michelin sign on the door. I can’t speak to the dinner menu, but from what we saw being served it looked beautiful and unique. The snacks at the bar were very good; go for the Iberian ham and olives, I’d also consider grabbing the cheese and crackers as well. We were in Kinsale on a whim and didn’t have time to make reservations, but if we are ever back in the area we’d absolutely be making dinner reservations.

04/11/2024: Lovely atmosphere, thought the menu seemed a bit simple til the food came. Ordinary menu and extraordinarily yummy dishes at very reasonable prices. Our new favourite kinsale eatery, well be back 😀

12/10/2024: Food was delicious, the hostess and waitress were friendly and accommodating, and atmosphere was what you'd expect from a great independent restaurant gem.

15/12/2024: The only reason I can't give the room a 5 star is the telly. It is so small that you have to stand in front of it to see the screen, but who goes to Kinsales to watch TV. Great service, very nice and spot on staff. The food was top class and I definitely will be back. Best regards Brian Jacobsen, Fermoy Co.Cork

29/11/2024: Nice place, great service. Oysters were delicious
