Best places in Kinsale Urban, Ireland to visit (UPDATED April, 2024)

Modern European restaurant

👍👍 Without a doubt, one of our best dining experiences. Tapas portions brilliantly prepared and a wine list rarely seen. While reservations are recommended well in advance, they have 2 tables and the bar for walk-ins. But queue up at 5 to get a seat. It’s worth the wait!
