We wanted to have a nice dinner while staying in Kinsale. The decor of this restaurant is amazing. It's a very romantic atmosphere. We had an early bird special and it was wonderful. more

This was the highlight of our week in Ireland in September. Excellent food, in a stunning setting. Jola was the perfect hostess! Food was international, but with a slight Polish theme - I enjoyed the cucumber soup, and the grilled mussels. more

After reading all the nice reviews on Tripadvisor I tried to email a reservation in. Much to my dismay I couldn't seem to confirm anything with the restaurant. When we checked in to our B & B I asked the innkeeper to call and see if we could get a reservation. Unfortunately for us they were booked. My boyfriend and... more

My husband and I just spent two weeks traveling through Ireland with another couple, and the 4 of us agreed that Jola's was without a doubt the best restaurant of the entire trip. The meal we had there was incredible, service was attentive, we loved everything about Jola's! If you are in Kinsale, don't miss this restaurant. more

My wife and I recently ate in Jola's in Kinsale. The Irish "summer" may have been playing its tricksoutside but the welcome we received was warm and friendly. We ate there on a Wednesday evening and so were able to have the five course tasting menu (€38.50 inc. glass of house wine). There is also an excellently priced early bird... more

This restaurant was recommended to us by one of the locals. A very romantic setting, quiet and comfortable. The food was lovely and dinner for 2 came to 130 euros. The cheese board is defintely worth ordering - beautifully presented. more

I am sure we will return on many occasions in the future, and if you like vodka then i highly recommend you try their home made strawberry and... more

Incredibly disappointed in Jola's. The lamb was excellent but the potatoes and veg were oily and not to a good standard. The service was poor. more
