Eating in Kinsale
Back in the 1990s, when Ireland was just getting its cuisine act together, Kinsale was
the island's self-proclaimed gourmet capital. While good restaurants are commonplace in
Irish towns today, Kinsale still has an edge at mealtime. Local competition is fierce, and
restaurants offer creative and tempting menus. Seafood is king. With so many options in
the ever-changing scene, it's worth a short stroll to assess your options. Reservations are
smart, especially if eating late or on a weekend. Restaurant connoisseurs can check the
menu details of Kinsale's most famous restaurants online ( www.kinsalerestaurants.com ) .
