Adding this spot to my favourite places to eat/go out. A little jewel and real treat! Food is delicious and thoughtfully prepared—many thanks to the chef. Warm, attentive service from Siobhan with a relaxed, intimate ambiance. A pleasure from start to finish.

Stayed in Kinsale for one evening on our Tour of Ireland. We decided on Max's and we were very happy we did. The food was fantastic and service was superb. The owner (lady) was supper sweet. Gave us so many tips for things to do with our time in Ireland. We truly enjoyed the small town feel and felt like we were invited over for dinner!

Had dinner here last night and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had in Kinsale. The food was excellent, but what really stood out was the atmosphere and the way we were looked after. Easy to see why it’s lasted so long. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks to Ann Marie and Siobhán for looking after us.
