Kinsale, Ireland Houses by the Bay
When you think of Kinsale, imagine enchantment. Narrow winding streets, cozy homes, amazing shop fronts, and windows filled with flowers tumbling toward the streets. There is also the steady rhythm of the harbor.
This enchantment is perfectly offset by the infamously raucous good humor and zest for life of the Kinsale locals. And the new locals now include an amazing number of top-rated chefs from all over Europe.
Is anyone making plans to go to this foodie heaven, or have you been? Give us the inside scoop!

I live in Kinsale, have done all my life and it’s definitely the most beautiful town in Ireland with the best restaurants and cages, and I agree with Liam you need to go down some of the side streets for the best food. Patsys was always the best but is unfortunately closed now! That photo is not of Kinsale, just making sure you’re not mislead!
Lucky you, Rachel!
That is so far out, and I so long to visit.

Thanks for the smiles!
My wife grew up in Kinsale, and yes it does have some wonderful places to eat. We always make sure we get down to kinsale when we go back to Ireland for a visit.
Make sure to wander away from the main street. There’s some great little cafe’s (patsy’s – yum) and restaurants on the tiny little side streets. If you’re looking for seafood – kinsale is the spot for you
Lucky, your wife! Agree, the seafood is amazing. And, what a beautiful place to wander around. The colors backed up next to the sea are a miracle. Thanks for chiming in, Liam!
