We dined at the Black Pig twice. It is a small restaurant with a lovely outdoor patio. Reservations are definitely a good idea. The menu features local produce and small plates and each one we sampled was delicious. Staff was very friendly and efficient. So...good!!More

Amazing range of really tasty tapas. Wonderful service and a great experience. Mushrooms are my favourite!

Beautiful atmosphere for the restaurant. Food and service were excellent. Not cheap but worth a rare treat.

Excellence without putting on a pretentious front. Excellent food; excellent service; excellent ambiance. Wonderful attention to customers but without being in your face.

We live in Ireland at least half of the year and travel around quite extensively for leisure. This restaurant was a special experience that we were delighted with ourselves for finding. A big thanks to Brendan who waited on us, his knowledge of the dishes...and how to be there when you needed him but not over bearing, he had the perfect balance, always watching us to see if we needed him and not intruding when we were in full conversation and in the middle of a meal. He was fantastic! The bar man also had a very good knowledge of the wines and what a list they have got, we found a wonderful bottle that we so enjoyed and had not tasted before. The food was just incredible chef! This was our first time to Kinsale, and we had already decided we liked it and would return but this restaurant alone would have us return just for the ambiance, the food and the perfect balance of service. Well done to all of you and thank you for a fantastic evening! Best, Laura JosephMore

If you are like us, and really enjoy a tapas and sharing plate experience, this cozy little place is for you. We had a lovely bottle of wine and about 5 different plates between us. Everything was so tasty and the service and ambience perfect....Quite an unusual place, with lots of interesting touches like shelves full of books, outdoor courtyard with heaters, seats at the bar as well as tables. Loved the fact that each table with a reservation had your name and time chalked on the wall or shelf behind the table. Very personal touch. Will certainly go again.More

Took a chance with no reservation. No seats available inside but got a table outside (heaters were on, so all good). The service was excellent and the food was fantastic. This is a must if you are in Kinsale. Would recommend booking

Gorgeous food and friendly staff but very disappointed with portion size of our main dish..(we were still hungry after!). Ordered the prawns in butter and chilli oil but very small. We ordered salad to share it was just salad leaves!.

Just finished a two week trip to Ireland and The Black Pig was the best meal of the entire trip. The food is absolutely delicious. We ordered most of the daily special items and a few off the main menu. Please don't miss out on...the mushroom toast. It was so good, we ordered a second one. The staff is amazing and so welcoming. They asked about our travels in Ireland and gave us some excellent restaurant recommendations for our upcoming travels to Dingle, Galway and Dublin. I can't say enough about the food and the hospitality.More

Wonderful dinner and super service! A perfect cozy setting… we didn’t have a reservation so showed up early. They had a small table available. We had a nice selection of small dishes— all very tasty! One of the best restaurants we’ve been to in Ireland!

Stunning food Amazing service, the waiter took his time to explain each dish and check for portions etc Each meal was exquisite The ambience in the restaurant is soo relaxing too We didn’t feel rushed and nothing was any problem

This must be the most wonderful place in Kinsale. Great wine, food, ambiance and friendly engaging staff. I think it is worth a visit to Kinsale just to go here! It was our favorite dining experience on our trip to Ireland and we dined at...some very nice places! We love this place!More
