Max's restaurant in Kinsale offers a warm welcome and a calm atmosphere with tasteful decor. The menu is intentionally limited to focus on quality, with the owner even greeting guests in perfect French. High-quality food and excellent service make for a superb dining experience, with particularly delicious appetizers like Soba Noodles and Pan Fried Scallops. Overall, Max's is a fabulous family-run restaurant with fantastic fusion cuisine and a passion for locally sourced produce. While some guests expressed concerns about portion sizes and slow service, many highlighted the delicious food and welcoming ambiance of this restaurant.
