Must stop eat in Dingle! Make sure to make reservations if you wish to sit inside since the indoor area is limited. We enjoyed every bite of our meal. All the meat served is straight from the sea from their daily catch. The presentation of the food was amazing. The waiting staff was very friendly and knowledgeable! There is a bathroom for guest and they do take credit card for payment. A drink menu was provided but we stuck with water after our hike.

They're known for freshly.com seafood and they live up to that reputation. The menu changes daily and the only options are seafood. A standout dish was the seafood chowder with chunks of fish and a creamy but not too thick broth. The fish trio was also good, especially since they had a John Dory as one of the trios. Its a small place so book ahead as tables can be hard to find!

Stumbled across this place on the way around the peninsula. Had the best mussels I've had in years. The haddock was also perfectly cooked and finished with a delicious blueberry cheese cake.

Amazing food, incredibly friendly and mindful service. Only seafood, but the selection is huge. The meals are made truly fresh, excellent combination of sauces. Plating is beautiful. I have problems with dairy and asked only about the starter if it has dairy in it, and starting from that point they made everything dairy free for me, there was no need to ask it. Excellent!
The place is usually outbooked, they take reservations personally there, no phone calls. I like it, it gives more chance for visitors for a meal. We were lucky to get a table.
