From a seven-course tasting menu to a breakfast of eggs royale: Lucinda O'Sullivan's love letter to Ireland's gourmet capital, Kinsale

I suppose this is really a love letter to Kinsale, a place I’ve been having an affair with since I was 18 years old. In comparison to Dublin then, Kinsale was exotic and romantic to a young girl on her first weekend away with a gang of pals. From its narrow streets to its history of the Spanish invasion in 1601, and the magnificent Italianate star-shaped Charles Fort, I was sold. Kinsale became a regular destination and has played a big part in my life.
