This fine dining restaurant in Kinsale is a true gem, where the French chef’s skill shines through in both the presentation and the flavors. The dishes are a perfect balance of classic techniques with creative twists – like the slow-cooked pork belly paired with braised red cabbage and a tangy rhubarb compote.

I started with a delightful goat cheese and beet appetizer, featuring a buckwheat shortcrust and red onion pickled in mead and honey. My husband opted for sautéed squid with linguini and mussels, which was cooked to perfection. For the mains, we enjoyed a fillet of hake, sautéed and served on a bed of leeks with zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and a pink peppercorn and parsley sauce. My husband’s pork belly was tender and flavorful, beautifully complemented by the cabbage and rhubarb compote.

We ended the meal with a stunning crème brûlée, made with real vanilla beans and expertly caramelized.

To top it off, the restaurant has an extensive wine list, offering excellent pairings to match the refined flavors of the menu.

This restaurant is a must-visit in Kinsale for anyone who appreciates fine dining, creative flavors, and a great selection of wines.

Underwhelming food, given price and vibe of the restaurant. Boiled veg and dry potatoes, with poor presentation and a confused menu (Asian/French/Irish?) complimented inexperienced young staff. Good wine selection and ambience. Much better options elsewhere.

The food at Max’s is wonderful. The wine selection is also impressive. We did not have a reservation but they were able to fit us in for a table for two right as they were opening and the staff member seemed happy to do so. The only thing that I thought could have been better was the service. The meals came relatively quickly and were magnificent. Our table was serviced by several people so we were unsure who to ask if we needed something and the servers seemed a bit unorganized and like they didn’t want bothered. One was especially a sour puss, which was a little off putting, especially since she was the person who brought us the bill and was the last person who interacted with us there. If you want a really magnificent dinner I would say you can’t go wrong there as long as you don’t mind feeling a bit unwelcome from a few of the staff.

We had the pleasure of meeting the owner after a wonderful dinner. What a fabulous restaurant they run.
The food is a class above the rest, as is the service.
I thoroughly recommend this place

Lots of fresh local seafood. The sticky pudding was a highlight. The staff is very friendly.
