The food is excellent. The atmosphere however, could do with some work - a little 70's dinner. Great wine selection. Excellent service.

Have dined here everytime we go to Cork, it never disappoints, is always the best evening of our holidays. Location is v cute at the end of Scilly Walk, accessed by a flight of stone steps. Three quite different areas for dining, one with a view of Kinsale town centre & a small terrace to sit out in & enjoy... More

From the outside & it's location, we thought this place would be great. While the food was nice enough, it was nothing special unfortunately. The early bird is still good value though at 3 courses for €25.

I have to strongly recommend the Man Friday Restaurant for their excellent food and staff. In our house when members are asked what restaurant they want to eat in - they all automatically say Man Friday. The ambiance, friendly staff and management are a credit to their profession and you would find it hard to visit another restaurant to keep... More

Eat in Man Friday on Wed. The place was buzzing. For a mid week in a recession it says it all about this venue. Food was divine. Efficient and friendly service. The Early Bird is the best value for quality food and wonderful ambience. Will be returning.

I had relatives visiting from UK recently and their one request was to dine in Man Friday. So many of their friends and business associates had already been there. Their visit to Man Friday made their holiday. Fantastic Food. Great Atmosphere. Superb staff. All added up to a great night out. Man Friday beating the recession with their continuing quality...
