The Blue Haven

Frommer's Review

Of all the restaurants in Kinsale, this hotel eatery has the biggest following, if only because there's something to suit most budgets and appetites. There are two places to eat: the atmospheric bar for first-rate bar food (seafood quiches, seafood pancakes, oak-smoked salmon) or the sky-lit restaurant for a full a la carte menu of fresh seafood, including salmon cooked slowly over oak chips. Other specialties include brill and scallop bake, farmyard duck with sage-and-onion stuffing, and local venison (in season). The wines have Irish connections; they come from many of the French wineries that were started by Irish exiles.
