Definitely consider making reservations because the restaurant gets quite busy during peak times. I chose to go with the fish pie and it was absolutely delicious. Everything was seasoned perfectly.

Visited for two consecutive nights 18/02 and 19/02 2026. The first night I had two appetizers,…read moreAtlantic prawn and crab sandwich, and a dessert of Ferrero Roche cheese cake. The second night I had an appetizer of seafood chowder and the John Dory fish. The cheese cake was unique, , very satisfying taste of cocoa, and the crunchy and gritty texture really felt like Ferrero Roche. For the other dishes I found something interesting. The prawns and crab sandwiches tasted standard, but the oily sauce (prawns) and the sweet and sour puree (crab sandwiches) had exquisite flavor that made one want to finish them all with a piece of bread (which I did). On the other hand, the John Dory was nicely done, texture spot-on, juicy and savoy flavor, but the white sauce looked broken and watery, and the taste was a bit on the bland side. In general I enjoyed my experience, but I wonder if they could match the quality of the sauce and the main ingredients better :)

I ordered a cocktail that I'm assuming would be blocked via Yelp- so P-Star Martini is where we will end :-P It was good, but the best I had was in London a few days prior. I ordered the bangers & mash and was not disappointed. Their serving sizes were more than generous and the food was seasoned quite well. This is a place I'd give another go if in town.

The sauce was a creamy tomato sauce which both myself and hubs thought was delicious. It also came with garlic bread which was yummy. He had the fish and chips and thought both were much better than his other attempt at this meal. We'd come back again.

Although it took a while for our orders to be taken, the service was super fast otherwise. My wife and I got the Pad Thai and Pork Ramen with a Tonkatsu base to share. Both of them were good. They had a slightly different flavor than what I traditionally think of with these dishes, but not necessarily in a good or bad way. Overall nice experience.

It is supposed to be very good in the summer - looks like I'll have to wait and see. In any event, won't be in a hurry down again. Got some roughly filleted fish from a basic stall up the town. The harbour town looked very well indeed and the walk along the West Beach area was very enjoyable.

I do have to mention that we had a table near the kitchen. Not once during our meal did we hear the typical kitchen chatter or noise. The fish and chips were delicious and absolutely perfect. The best I had all week. I wish I knew the young lads name that assisted us and told us about the hike because he was amazing

After a full day of touring Ireland's coastline, we ended our evening in Kinsale and chose Fishy…read moreFishy for dinner. We started with the multigrain bread and house-made butter, which was a simple but tasty way to begin the meal. The lobster bisque followed and was rich, creamy, and hearty. While the lobster flavor became a bit overpowering toward the end, it was still well worth ordering. For our mains, I had Jody Hurley's Wok Fried Crab Claws with white rice, and my wife ordered the Baked Local Lobster with spring onion mash and salad. The crab claws were tossed in a creamy lemon sweet chili sauce that was packed with flavor, and the rice balanced the richness perfectly. The generous portion was an added bonus. The standout, however, was the baked lobster--fresh, perfectly cooked, and topped with a delicious mustard cream sauce. Paired with the mash and salad, it made for an excellent meal. Fishy Fishy delivered fresh seafood, generous portions, and flavors that made it a memorable stop in Kinsale.
