‘Having recently won Ireland’s No 1 Foodie Town and Ireland’s Most Enterprising Medium Sized Town, Kinsale Restaurant Week is the perfect combination of Food and Enterprise to kick-start our 2019 season early.’

The current president of the Restaurant Association of Ireland is a Kinsale man, Liam Edwards of the famous Jim Edwards Restaurant, who added: ‘This a great opportunity to sample what Kinsale Good Food Circle Restaurants produce all year round at a reduced price.’
