On two different evenings/venues in County Kerry we were given The Bulman as top pick for dining/evening when in Kinsale. The weather, and a stop at the Spaniard, a stroll on the Fort across the road from the Bulman prior to our reservation time didn't hurt the experience but the food, service and environment seemed to outshine all the other... more

The food at the Bulman was fantastic from start to finish, and the bar downstairs seemed nice. Unfortunately, however, the food is the only element of the night out which we enjoyed. I have to agree with several of the other reviewers when it comes to the disinterested and aloof attitude of the staff in this restaurant. There were lots... more

We had dined in Toddies at their previous address(down town Kinsale) some years ago and and were so pleased with our experience that we promised ourselves a return visit when next in Kinsale. We found the new location at Sumercove without problem, and my oh my what a location !The only thing missing from their previous address was a view,... more

After a long morning of taking the Scilly walk out to Charles Fort, we decided to stop for lunch on the way back into Kinsale. A pub with a great view, the food was very good and the seafood fresh - as we ate our mussels more were delivered by two young men walking through the pub holding large bags... more

I came to Cork almost exactly four years ago and one of the first places I explored was Kinsale. I admit it, I was taken in by the hype of the Kinsale Good Food Circle or whatever it was called at the time and I had some eye wateringly expensive meals in some restaurants that were clearly trading on their... more

My girlfriend and I traveled to kinsale when we studied abroad at UCD. We stopped in the bulman for dinner and were very impressed. The restaurant was on the second floor above a lively bar. We had great food and wine and ended up staying in the bar until closing time. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to... more

Went for a meal with friends recently to Bulman, place was highly recommended. Alas, one of worst nights out I endured. Food was only adequate, but the two waitresses took the biscuit for discourtesy and couldn't care less attitude. Management should either send them on an interpersonal skills course or politely suggest a change of career for them. I will... more

I was in Kinsale the last week in April. I intended to eat in Toddies Restaurant in the Kinsale Brewry as we had eaten there a number of times in the past, only to be told they had moved into The Bulman Bar in Summercove. Couldn't wait to pop in for supper. The best location in Kinsale by a distance.... more

We had eaten there before and were looking forward to a good meal and catch-up on news and events in... more
