The partner's word
Bastion is an intimate modern tasting-room-style restaurant in Kinsale that presents multi-course, no-choice tasting menus focused on the Irish larder. Menus emphasise seasonality and the kitchen will source beyond the locality when quality dictates. The team asks guests to arrive on time and places hospitality and collective dining at the centre of the experience. The restaurant highlights hygiene and safety standards developed with consultants and audited by Environmental Health Officers, set out in its Covid and wellness information.
The dining room is small and can be hired for private events of up to 35 guests. A bar area caters for pre- and post-dinner drinks. Guests may dress as they prefer, though many choose smart attire. The restaurant displays artwork and offers a relaxed, carefully curated atmosphere for tasting meals.
The cuisine is contemporary, modern tasting-menu fare served as multi-course, no-choice experiences.
Paul McDonald is the chef and is described on the site as Michelin-starred.
Specialties include the signature multi-course Bastion tasting and a short four-course discovery tasting, carefully curated wine pairings selected by sommelier Helen, bar snacks and nibbles with champagne, and seasonal ingredients from the Irish larder (west Cork).
