My mother was also able to try the seafood pie which had large chunks of white fish spread throughout but balanced with a white cream sauce, she liked her dish as well. I tried the homemade lasagna which was good as expected. All of the dishes here are offered at a very fair price and filling for what you get. You can't really walk away hungry after a meal at Caragh, and you won't break the bank either.

The servers were friendly and talkative, as many of the Irish. The chowder is think and full of delicious fish. The fried calamari was really tasty, and not greasy. The halloumi salad was also great, with a generous amount of cheese. This pub is a perfect example of the evolution of pubs in the country, serving much higher quality food than in times past. Our dessert of over cream with chocolate cake was soooo good.

I have to give a special shoutout to the vegan burger--it was absolutely outstanding. Perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and thoughtfully put together with great toppings and a delicious bun. It's not always easy to find a truly satisfying vegan option in a pub, but this one exceeded expectations. The veg soup was also really good--comforting, hearty, and clearly homemade. And the salad greens were incredibly fresh and crisp, which added a nice, light balance to the meal. Great food, friendly service, and a lovely setting. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in Dingle!

I gladly chose a glass of Rockshore Lager instead. My Lunch choice was an Open Ploughman, as it looked interesting and wanted to avoid yet another Irish meal featuring potatoes. That was pretty tasty, as was Gayle's Prawn and Salmon dish. Nice place!

I did not know much about the Cottage when I booked my tripped, but we went to dinner there soon after we checked into out lodgings and were so very pleasantly surprised with the local musicians who played a mix of traditional Irish folk tunes and modern folk-rock songs. There were patrons who were bussed/vanned/driven in groups specifically for the music, but there was also a mix of locals who were out for an evening meal. Everything meshed effortlessly and blitheful experience. You can't say that for most tourist destinations. The food and service was wonderful, also. We went to Kate Kearneys Cottage numerous times during our stay in the Gap and each time was as good as the last time, whether it was enjoying a dinner with great music or just hanging out in the pub with locals late at night. All in all, I can't wait to return again!

We called a taxi and asked them to bring us to non-fancy spot where we could get some dinner. We were dropped off here at Colgan's, and were seated right away, even though we didn't have a booking. Service was friendly and quick. The food was good. It wasn't "knock my socks off amazing", but it was definitely tasty. The espresso martini was great. The smoked old fashioned was not worth the cost. The smoking effect was good, but the old fashioned itself wasn't great. The chicken wings were our favorite of the night: tender, juicy, but crispy. I can't remember the sauce, but they were delicious. Fish and chips was standard, and the stew was nice. All in all, definitely a good spot to go when you're hungry and looking for a good meal!

It's an old building with all original flooring and everything and it is a really interesting building to have a pub in. My husband and I ordered the "Goats Cheese Tartlet" with beetroot relish and toasted almonds. I thought that this was quite good! It was made with all fresh ingredients. I loved the goat cheese, and the crust on the tartlet was done perfectly. For my entree, I got the "Fish and Chips" with real mushy peas. I also really liked this entree! The fish was fresh, the perfect level of crispiness (without being greasy), the chips were nice and thick, and I loved the mushy peas. I almost had wished that it came with more mushy peas because they did a really good job on the mushy peas. Overall, the service was pretty good. Our server was very good about checking in with the chef on allergies. At times, the service seemed a bit slow, but overall it was quite good. Overall, the Auld Triangle is a really cool place with great food, good service, and fair prices. I definitely recommend!

After a long day of driving we came here for dinner…read more It was quite busy but we were seated within five minutes. Inside was dominated by the bar and sit down tables lined the walls. The crowd was lively that evening. Our server brought over the specials board while we perused the menu which showed a variety of food choices. We ended up getting the haddock special and a seafood soup. The haddock turned out to be a generous portion with creamy mashed potatoes and green beans. It was quite good and nicely priced. The seafood soup was tomato based, rich with lots of seafood inside. Desserts were showcased in a small refrigerated case but nothing stood out to us that night. Service was fast, very friendly and good throughout our meal. If paying by credit card there was an option to add a tip.

It was the worst experience ever, I have been in many dinning places and I wouldn't give reviews even it is just ok place, and this one is something else. Ordered food (place was quite quiet at that time), and nothing came for 40 min, asked staff and told just few more minutes, and nothing has came for another 10min, we were all starving by then, and asked staff again and she told us kitchen is busy and we have to wait longer, so we decided to ask for a manager to talk. Few minutes later food came, and both of our burgers were undercooked, raw in the middle, mine I asked for no cheese(lactose intolerant), there they were stick on the burger bun, we couldn't eat ours, my son's pasta was tasteless so he didn't eat his, my parents had their food not because the dishes were nice, only because they were starving. Called staff to complain, asked for manager again, and after 10 minutes no one came and we were completely ignored. Grab a staff to ask for manager again, he just said manager was busy in the kitchen, I think he just try to avoid dealing with us. Honestly, with undercooked food and waste of our time we did not want to pay anything, however, we paid everything apart from the burgers. This place if you want to grab a drink maybe ok, but keep away if you want some food. And if the owner of the pub ever see this, please train your manager on customer service, I have worked in hospitality and there is so much better way could deal with this situation then trying to ignore.

All the meat is Irish, the fish from Star Seafoods, a local Kenmare fishmonger, and the produce is from the Wild Irish Way (coastal western Ireland) wherever possible. I had two "starters" for my lunch, both specials so I can't get the details from the menu now. The first was a baked goat cheese and chorizo tart. Made with a phyllo pastry, and served over greens. Everything about it was perfect: the phyllo so light that it shattered when cut yet it wasn't dry. The cheese was golden brown on top from broiling. The chorizo was in tiny pieces scattered on top so it didn't overwhelm. The two or three kinds of lettuce greens underneath were light and delicate. My other dish was a fish cake, fish and potatoes actually. Fried to a beautiful golden brown, drizzled with a balsamic vinegar sauce, and served over more of those excellent greens, this time dressed with vinaigrette. The dill on top was more than a decoration, it was lighter in flavor than most, and the flavor complemented well. It was a very attractive presentation; even the dish it was served on was pretty. I didn't try the wife's Cottage Pie: minced steak and potatoes topped with mashed potatoes and Dublin Cheddar but she did like it. And it was also attractive, with the potato crust ruffled and the peaks perfectly browned. Garnished with parsley. Like my dishes, visually beautiful. We shared a banoffie pie for dessert. This is uncommon in the US but I might compare it to a banana cream pie with caramel sauce addition. Ok but not really my thing, and too much cream filling for the amount of crust. That's all I remember about this great meal. Looking at the menu just now I don't see my items on the menu as they were specials. I was surprised and pleased by the prices of the standard items, most of which were below average for the area, especially for a place that describes itself a "gastropub".
