The Chart House

The Chart House restaurant offers delicious dishes that I would definitely recommend. Despite having a small space, it is very cozy and offers excellent service. Additionally, the restaurant is attentive to different dietary restrictions and is willing to make necessary adjustments according to the customer's needs.

We went here on a Saturday evening. Our group had different meals. From starters to dessert. The fine and helpful staff gave us all the attention we needed. Not to many dishes to choose from, which is great. I had the monkfish which was extremely good. They have most dishes made from locally suppliers. I also recommend the salad as a starter. Good range of wines as well. They also serve the award winning Dingle gin here. Superb. No parking. WC. Wheelchair access friendly.

Popular with the locals this Michelin-listed restaurant has lovely starters and mains. Try the mussels and the beef. Overall a good place to dine - atmosphere and some items on the menu are not quite en par with expectations

Good food, good service, reasonably priced. The food was well executed and somewhat on the creative side, particularly the appetizers. Service was good, although if they want to push for a Michelin star this would have to be increased. Prices were very reasonable, especially due to being one of the top rated restaurants in a touristy town.

I waited 3 months for this meal and it definitely did not disappoint. It was a relaxed and not being rushed atmosphere which was great for once. I have had blood pudding at many pubs which is not saying much but the blood pudding in philo was stunning and amazing I feal ruined now that I can never eat another blood pudding anywhere else. The lamb chops where stunning and cooked perfectly the onion jam was amazing and the ju even better. The side of vegetables that come to the table where cooked perfectly and I mean perfectly not mush and not hard. The dessert I left up to my server which was just as stunning as her service. It was the chocolate parfait it was so good perfect way to end the meal. Being a Chef at Disney this was absolutely the best meal I have ever had in my life so far. The prices are very very fair. Lamb anywhere else would be in the 50$ range in the US. Parking is easy and right down the street maybe a 1 min walk. Can't say enough good things about the staff and kitchen crew.

A wonderful experience: a meal that was perfect from beginning to end, excellent flavor combinations, and impeccable service. Yesterday, The Chart House made my mother's birthday dinner her most memorable. Thank you, Susan and Rob, for your kindness and hospitality.

Great service and great food down by the water. We had the lamb and beef--both were great, but the star of the entire meal was hands down the gratin that comes with the lamb. The restaurant was continually filled, so I'd suggest a reservation.

Dingle is a small town in County Kerry on the Atlantic coast of Ireland. Being on the sea of course there are many fish and chip shops as well as a plethora of traditional Irish pubs serving a range of seafood dishes alongside hearty meat ones, to the sound of traditional Irish music. I ate at a restaurant I’d found in the Michelin Guide, called Chart House. It’s a restaurant with a simple yet elegant style and without fuss or pretensions. A glance at the menu reveals an imaginative combination of local ingredients which lead the diner to a high level of expectation. Overall I’d say that although it’s probably the nicest restaurant in which to eat in the town the food generally doesn’t sing in the way the menu leads one to expect. In the words of many a TV foodie, the cooking needs ‘elevating’ to do justice to the feel of the place and to the descriptions on the menu. That said this is good food at the level of a gastropub or bistro. Although it’s not the purpose of this blog to review drinks, before letting you in on what I ate I should give a shout-out to the outstanding Dingle Gin which I had with tonic while I browsed the menu. A very quaffable beverage with a dry aftertaste. It would be great with a sprig of rosemary sitting in the glass. And so to the food… I started with Annascaul Black Pudding with Seared Scallop on a Potato and Celeriac Rosti and Apple Glaze. It was nice enough except that the quantity of black pudding was seriously out of proportion to the tiny scallop sitting on top and for the life of me I couldn’t detect the flavour of the apple glaze, nor was I entirely sure what it was supposed to be glazing. A nice touch was the use of the scallop roe which I enjoy but is all to often discarded. Roast Rack of Kerry Lamb with Dauphinoise Potatoes, Cumin Spiced Red Onion Marmalade and Red Wine Jus came next. This was tender juicy and perfectly cooked lamb of the highest quality. The potatoes were creamy and with just the right amount of garlic and the onion confection was suitably interesting (but I didn’t eat it all). My heart sank though when a side dish of roasted root vegetables was also served. This was completely over the top, especially as it included boiled potatoes. Potatoes on potatoes? Really? Well it is Ireland I suppose! For pudding I chose, Warm Spiced Apple Crumble with Clove Ice Cream and Creme Anglaise. It was a suitably modest portion of well made and flavoured crumble. The creme anglaise was unctuous (but I’d simply call it custard if it were my restaurant) but the ice cream was delicious. It was my first experience of clove ice cream and I can’t wait to try and replicate it at home. A quirky touch was the presentation of the bill in a copy of an Enid Blyton novel.
