O'Herlihys Kinsale | OHK Cafe

OHK was absolutely unbelievable. We were recommended by our host Anne from Pier House and we are soooo glad we went! The food was incredible and the service was fab, everyone super friendly in there and it’s a very welcoming space. Also had the best almond croissant we‘ve ever had in our lives. 10/10 will definitely return. Also dog friendly :)

Situated in the main town of Kinsale. Very friendly & helpful staff. Prompt service. 5 options available on the menu along with baked options / teas / coffees. I had Turkish eggs on flatbread and it was delicious!!! Cute little outdoor courtyard for outdoor sitting. Would definitely recommend a visit

The Turkish eggs were literally the best breakfast I’ve ever had in my life. The breakfast sandwich on focaccia was also soooo amazing! It was so good we came back the next morning. Here I am, months later, writing a review because I can’t stop thinking about this place. 100/10!

Nestled in a warm, family-run setting, this restaurant offers a delightful twist on classic brunch dishes with a touch of sophistication. Each dish draws inspiration from global cuisine, crafted with locally sourced ingredients and skillfully prepared to perfection. The coffee is served robust and invigorating. While most pastries impressed, the morning bun fell short of expectations. Reservations are advised for a delightful dining experience.

I dont write many reviews but this is my new favourite cafe! The staff were lovely and the cafe is so cosy and comforting. It felt just like my grannys house, except with way better coffee! We had the breakfast bun and the open salmon, unbelievably good. Really recommend! Well done

This place is truly something special — so much style and love have been poured into every detail, and you can feel it the moment you walk in. My breakfast was simply the best I have ever had: Turkish eggs, flatbread with chorizo, and perfectly poached eggs — an absolute dream. Honestly, it now feels hard to move on from here. The tea was excellent, and the cinnamon buns, in particular, were out of this world — soft, rich, and absolutely unforgettable. If you ever find yourself in Kinsley, eating here is an absolute must. The staff are incredibly kind and make the whole experience even more wonderful.

Very welcoming host. Had mushroom on sourdough with Halloumi …absolutely perfect. Home made lemonade, and cappuccino. Lovely banter with staff. Very cute interior. It felt like walking into a friend’s for breakfast.

Everything here is a work of culinary art. When we came there were only 4 or 5 offerings for food (they seem to have cakes in addition though) but each dish was such a hearty, flavorful surprise. The mushroom toast was about 4 inches tall, piled with perfectly sauteed mushrooms, an entire spring salad, and I added the halloumi which was grilled perfectly. All meals should be this thoughtfully done and packed with flavor. Even the sparkling lemonade was the best one had outside of Italy. Perfection to savor!

Was visiting and this place came recommended to us and I can see why! The inside is extremely cute & chic. The food was so tasty & their cocktails were fresh & light! Loved this spot.

An amazing, adorable little spot for breakfast or lunch! Recently visited Kinsale for a few days and we were looking for a place to grab a filling brunch before an afternoon of exploring and driving around. I noticed that OHK was off the beaten path a bit, and I was charmed by the exterior and the decor. We were seated shortly after arriving on a Friday morning, and all the tables were full, which was a good sign. We ordered drinks (iced chai for me) and ordered our mains shortly thereafter. The menu is very small but very clearly well-honed to the strengths of the kitchen. I opted for the turkish eggs and flatbread, my husband opted for the avocado toast with smoked salmon and egg. Our meals were whisked out very soon after ordering, and both were beautiful AND delicious! I absolutely loved the turkish eggs, they were served with labneh and chili flavors and were absolutely perfect. The smoked salmon was tasty and fresh, and the toast was HUGE. We were so charmed by the service and the cafe as a whole, and would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a fantastic bite to eat in Kinsale!

Amazing spot for lunch. We walked by the pink building as we were exploring downtown and decided to check it out. We were immediately greeted, given menus and seated. The atmosphere is homey yet urban. There were a few other people in the restaurant but it wasn't busy. I couldn't help but feel like we were in a local favorite. The food was seasonal, cheap and delicious. I would absolutely come back here. As a chef I was impressed by their flavor combinations and ability to execute such good food in a cafe setting. I got a pesto sandwich with a beet root salad and my friend got the avocado toast. The notes of lemon combined with pomegranate seeds in the Avo toast was simply inspired. My sandwich was Smokey, cheesy and pressed perfectly. There was new age jazz playing on the speaker and it really paired perfectly with such a pleasant meal. As I paid at the counter the woman I spoke with was genuinely interested in how my experience was and was very kind. I felt welcome and safe there. Couldn't recommend this place enough and would 100% make a point to return if I am ever in kinsale again.
