Restaurant review: Bastion, Kinsale, Co Cork

SOME of us like words the way others like a perfectly chilled glass of Prosecco — on tap at Bastion, a novelty even in foodie heaven Kinsale. 

Some of us love the way one word can mean many things if used in different contexts, like a herb or a spice having an entirely different influence when it is used with different ingredients or cooked using different methods.

So calling a relatively new restaurant Bastion in a resort town where there’s an enticing menu on almost every third doorway is a little statement of intent, challengers announcing their arrival as it were.
