Out of the Blue in An daingean

I'm going to be so honest, it's been over a year since I ate here and I still think about it. I'm currently sitting in a restaurant on the other side of the world, completely full and I'm still drooling and dreaming about the friggin bread from this place. Idk what they put in that bran bread but it's actually so good. I would literally fly back to Ireland, drive to Dingle, and come here again just to eat that damn bread. The actual food is also phenomenal, let that be known. But that bread.. Can't believe I actually still have a photo of it. Call me dramatic I don't care. And I don't even really like bread at restaurants.

Food was amazing and our waiter was so nice and professional

We ate lobster, which cost €52 for 500g. Unfortunately, the claws of two of the lobsters were undercooked. After complaining, they were reheated and served to us with two scallops.

Absolutely one of the best dinners I’ve ever had. I had the lobster and my fiancé had the halibut with scallops, and everything was incredible. The lobster was cooked and seasoned perfectly and was genuinely some of the best lobster I’ve ever had. Even the little things were amazing — the bread, the olives, the wine, the beer, everything. We finished with the blueberry cheesecake and it was the perfect ending. Truly an amazing meal from start to finish. I would 100% come back.

Really do try and get to eat here. Book well in advance because it's that popular!

John Dory fish....who knew? Spectacular meal, three courses. At least one of the staff is overly "full of herself". Otherwise...quite a great experience!

A lovely meal. Perfectly cooked and presented. Make sure you book well in advance as it is truly worth it.

Right in the heart of the Dingle waterfront, with a sign that says if they don't have fresh local seafood, there's no dinner. I asked if that had ever happened — very few times, she said, but it has. That's how seriously they take it. Reservations well in advance are a must; there are no walk-ins. We arrived a bit early and enjoyed a drink at the bar. The menu is a chalkboard — a big one — and they have two or three that they walk over to your table. The servers come across as cool, really well informed on the menu, and eager to advise. The menu that night was ample, with interesting choices and nothing fussy — no quince foam, thank you. We chose the John Dory — that's the species, not the fish's name — and it was spectacular. Drinks and dessert were wonderful too. With courteous respect to every other restaurant where we ate in Ireland over ten days, this was the best meal of the trip. Saved it to your Ireland reviews. The John Dory plate photo and the selfie out front would be perfect attachments when you post.

Fresh seafood, different menu daily. A fantastic spot for dinner.

We ate her this evening having been lucky enough to secure a reservation at short notice. Everything about this dinner was wonderful. Warm smoked mackeral starter, black sole and halibut main, pear, chocolate and almond tart. Just beautifully cooked, perfectly seasoned, totally fresh dishes. The service was brilliant. The wine delicious. Do yourself a favor. Book early and go. You will not be disappointed.
