The Grounds Restaurant — Restaurant in The Borough District of Wexford

Ladies & Gents Ok my 1st visit to this absolute gem of Paradise and cuisine Fri 6th

This absolute Gem was highly Recommended via a very well Irish CuisineExpert who was in SSE via my land lady —-

Ok perhaps I’m been biased but KQ has to be my most favourite coastal setting having spent many years in my adopted Wexford. This is clearly a family run place. Conor Chloe and Lesley deserve such great credit in inspiring and instilling such crucial essential traits from amounst its young Team.

Also lovely sign outlining how staff Team are rewarded re gratitutes on each day

Beautiful entrance with 2 separate restaurant areas. Mine was set off with simple but with elegant beautiful stone faced walls and decor with high ceilings with ample natural light —- think of a Greek or Moroccan setting.

This gem clearly is a favourite for both young old and in between amounst the locals tourists and of the boating sailing fraternity

Met Ivan Sutton Artist extraordinaire same date in KQ —- who you may ask —- yes I said the same —- but woh! what an absolute kind humble gentleman.

This gem has clearly built itself with strong aims/goals to achieve speciality towards our youngest as baby seats were in view and this gem was very much dog friendly as water trays were discreetly visible

There is a large outdoor smoking seated area

Val Hannah & younger Team were so attentive and engaging —- so nice to see younger chefs engaging with myself

PS I know knowing about cuisine delights and alas non drinker but as Val rightly said “ you know what great food tastes like”

Mine was a scrumptious monk fish delight Don’t ask me to describe sauces or exact ingredients 🤣 It was Absolutely delicious 🙏

2 Toilets whilst unisex were/are equally an absolute gem of complete privacy comfort and with sublime gold decor —- yes Gold set off with equally sublime wall to wall tiling and located well off seated area/s

Black pepper with Amber —- woh !what a refreshing combination of charisma ambiance

You could literally eat off the floor

Beautiful combination of Spanish background music throughout my stay —

Wheelchair friendly —- all seating in one ground floor level

I Most Definitely look forward for visit no 2 & hope to return before Sept

Such a most beautiful welcome

In busy peak times Free all day parking in car park less than 3 to 5 mins walk max

Sincere congratulations to Conor Chloe

Lesley Val and Hannah and Team

Well done one and all —- continued success and great health to all the Team

Take a great KQ Wexford bow It made my return trip to Cork so pleasing

What a welcome addition to any community, employment, prominent vacant restaurant premises re-occupied, and great food, be it for brekkie, morning coffees, lunch, afternoon pick me ups or dinner.

I have to mention the delicious cakes/buns and the to-die-for sourdough and brown breads, especially first thing in the morning, fresh from their own dedicated bakery. Try ‘em you won’t be disappointed.

Be sure to reserve a table for Dinner, The Grounds is deservedly popular and going to become “a destination” in its own right.

I’ve enjoyed dinner in The Grounds several times and each time savoured the fantastic tastes and subtle flavours. The kitchen turns out wonderful foods ….. try the “Special” for dinner, tell ‘em I recommended it …. You’ll be thrilled with your choice.

The Grounds is a place you’ll keep returning to ………the cooking, the ambiance, the quality ingredients and the pleasant and attentive staff are all first class.

One small gripe, the room temperature can fluctuate, and the management are attentive to this.

The wine list is short, with a range of prices, the ones I’ve sampled were very appealing, but I’m no wine expert. They have no beers or...

5/5 – A Standout Dining Experience at The Grounds, Kilmore Quay, Wexford

We visited The Grounds while on holiday in Kilmore Quay, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the interior wowed us — beautifully designed with a cool, vibey atmosphere and gorgeous dried flowers hanging from the ceiling. It felt special yet relaxed.

The food was outstanding. I started with the scallops and pork belly — both were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. For my main, I had the special, which was beautifully cooked brill, paired with Dauphinoise potatoes (which they happily swapped in for the chips listed on the menu — no problem at all). Every dish was packed with flavour and perfectly presented.

We also enjoyed a divine bottle of French organic rosé, which paired perfectly with the meal.

Service was friendly, professional, and attentive, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food and experience.

I would 100% recommend The Grounds to anyone visiting Kilmore Quay — a truly memorable meal in a beautiful setting.

Also dog friendly which is...
