Out of the Blue
A harbour-side restaurant serving seafood only, with the menu determined by the day’s catch.
A taste of West Kerry
Restaurants and pubs in Dingle worth planning around.
Fresh seafood, local produce, independent coffee and traditional pubs make eating and drinking one of the pleasures of a Dingle stay.
Before you go
Dingle is small, but its food scene is ambitious.
The town’s best kitchens draw on the fishing harbour, nearby farms and the character of West Kerry. Dinner reservations are advisable during busy periods, and some businesses change their opening days seasonally. Check directly before travelling, especially outside summer.
Milltown Cottage gives you both options: cook together in the fully equipped kitchen or head into town for seafood, small plates and a pint. Central Dingle is about five minutes away by car.
