Fanastic place highly recommend it. . It was my first time there and definitely would return again . . .

Very beautiful and quiet restoration. He is able to see the viewer on the outside. It can be re-entered and located to time.

Great local pub with indoor and outdoor seating. Families having dinner ... kids kicking the ball around. Fine spot for a pint on any afternoon.

Nestled on the scenic route between Kinsale and the Old Head, the Speckled Door offers a picturesque dining experience, complete with outdoor seating and stunning views of the coastline. While some guests have reported disappointing meals, particularly with bland flavors and long wait times, others rave about the delicious seafood chowder and mussels, praising the generous portions and reasonable prices. The staff has received mixed reviews, with some noting their friendliness despite service delays. Overall, the restaurant presents a mixed bag of experiences, but the gorgeous surroundings might still warrant a visit for the curious traveler.
