Dingle's premier restaurant in a charming stone cottage serving creative Irish cuisine. Fresh seafood, Kerry lamb, and seasonal menus make this intimate spot perfect for romantic dinners.
Chart House occupies a charming stone cottage on The Mall in Dingle, serving creative Irish cuisine built around fresh local seafood and Kerry lamb in one of the town's most intimate dining settings. Dingle Bay lobster and Kerry lamb rack are the dishes the restaurant is best known for, prepared with a modern touch while staying rooted in the seasonal produce of the Dingle Peninsula. The dining room is small and romantic, with stone walls, low lighting, and close-set tables that suit couples and special-occasion dinners particularly well. A compact, well-chosen wine list supports the seafood- and lamb-forward menu. Reservations are required, and tables can be difficult to secure during Dingle's busy summer season.
