Was Anonym at Man Friday a mag?
A lovely lovely meal in a fabulous restaurant. We were very impressed with the firm but friendly manner in which Covid restrictions were implemented. The food was wonderful..pork belly, oysters, seafood pie, hake, lemon posset etc etc. Well done to all at The Man Friday for a lovely evening... View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Man Friday:
Was here with a group of 8. The food was delicious and it was a really enjoyable atmosphere. However I was torn between leaving a 4 star or 2 star as one of the waitress on the night had such a bad attitude. She was unhelpful and argued with one of the guests over a wrong order as instead of just apologising. View all feedback.

Really good food made to a really high standard. Fried Brie was so yum, and the steak was done very well as well. Couldn’t fault it on anything!

Right, so Man Friday—absolute gem. Walked in and it felt like stepping into a cosy coastal hideaway, all soft lighting and that old-school charm. I kicked off with huge juicy oysters, followed by scampi that was golden, crisp, and downright addictive. The back sole? Melt-in-your-mouth magic. And fair play to the staff—Natalie had the whole thing running like clockwork, no fuss, just good vibes. €96 well spent, no regrets. If you’re in Kinsale and not eating here, you’re missing a trick.

This is our second visit, and we were hoping it would be as good as the first. We were wrong... it was even better! The food was divine, fresh and perfectly prepared and presented. We booked ahead as they are always busy, and we got great service. There was such a buzz there, so many happy couples and families. Coming here when we visit Kinsale is our new tradition!
