About Us

Established in 1978

Overlooking Kinsale’s harbour, no matter what the occasion, Man Friday offers an unforgettable experience. Opened in 1978 by Philip Horgan after training and working in Ballymaloe, his son Daniel followed in his father’s footsteps. Daniel, who also trained and worked in Ballymaloe has brought his experience from Scotts, Petersham Nurseries, Nopi and St John to Man Friday for customers to enjoy.

The people, food and prime location make Man Friday the perfect place for friends & family to come together. Run by the Horgan family since 1978, the restaurant creates a cosy atmosphere with great food, designed with individual touches unique to the local area.

We look forward to your visit! Both in restaurant or in our promising coffee shop located in South Mall, Cork City
