Best Dinner Places to Eat in Kinsale

"We've seen lots of action happening at Dwyers - which already went to great lengths to cater for outdoor drinking and dining last summer. The team there have been very, very busy in recent days, putting in a purpose-built platform that will provide the base for seats and tables down one side of this big pub. There'll be a good menu, lots of space, room for walk-ins and thanks to that platform, no rickety tables!"

"One of the nicest dining rooms in the country, this is an oasis of serenity in the heart of Cork city in one of the country’s major galleries. The lunch menu remains an immaculate reimagining of the culinary ethos of the doyenne of Irish food, Myrtle Allen, who first opened it as a cafe some 30-odd years ago. The decidedly homey and traditional fare — including eggy quiches, roasted bone marrow, devilled kidneys, and home-baked cakes — nonetheless does not seem remotely out of place in these grand surroundings, but cooking like this is an art form in itself."

"Located in the cultural setting of the Crawford Art Gallery in the heart of Cork city center is the renowned Crawford Gallery Café.

"Another defensive building constructed to help citizens, Elizabeth Fort was built in 1601, although in 1603 at the death of Queen Elizabeth I, a revolt in the city saw the castle being attacked and seized by the locals. When English reinforcements arrived and re-established control, the good people of Cork were forced to pay for its repair. It was rebuilt in stone in the 1620s and played a pivotal role in the siege of Cork in the 1690s."

"Cork City's 17th century star-shaped fort was built in the aftermath of the Battle of Kinsale (1601). Elizabeth Fort served to reinforce English dominance and protect the walled city of Cork. It has served many functions during its lifetime, including use as a military barracks, a convict depot for the transportation of female prisoners, a food depot during the Great Famine, an RIC station, and until 2013, a Garda station."

"First built in 1601, the earth, stone and timber Elizabeth Fort was attacked two years later when a revolt took place sparked off by the death of Queen Elizabeth 1. When English reinforcements arrived, the people of Cork were forced to pay for its reconstruction. A stronger stone fort replaced the old building in the 1620s and it is this you see today."
