Lemon Leaf Cafe Bar & Townhouse
Review
In the heart of historic Kinsale, the accommodation at Lemon Leaf Café Bar & Townhouse delivers comfort, character, and superb value in equal measure. Whether you choose a cosy double, twin, or single room, each space feels thoughtfully prepared, with the practical amenities you would expect from a quality city-centre stay. As a long-established, award-winning favourite with its guests, the Lemon Leaf has rightly earned its reputation as a true Kinsale institution. What lifts the experience even further is the warm, professional welcome from Tracy Keoghan and her friendly team, who clearly care about every guest’s stay. If you are planning time in this beautiful harbour town, the Lemon Leaf offers a reliable, stylish base where genuine hospitality and convenience come together brilliantly for everyone.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
In a town famed for great dining, Lemon Leaf Café Bar stands out as a true Kinsale favourite. Owner Tracy Keoghan and chef Tomasz Pawlak bring passion, precision, and pride to every plate, with a clear commitment to provenance and quality Irish ingredients. It’s easy to understand why this award-winning spot has earned praise from respected voices such as Georgina Campbell and Lucinda O’Sullivan. During my visit, dish flew past me to their tables and all beautifully prepared and thoughtfully presented. Just as impressive is the value: this is high-standard cooking at prices that remain refreshingly fair. If you want honest, skilful food served in a welcoming setting, the Lemon Leaf Café Bar deserves a place on Kinsale list. They also have accommodation, highly recommended!

On the outskirts of Kinsale, Blacks Brewery & Distillery stands out as one of the area’s most memorable visitor experiences.
