    Monk fish and chips
    John H.

    Delicious fish and chips from some of the friendliest people in Ireland. Lives up to its billing as one of the top places in Ireland for fish and chip. The food - Nice thick chips and light breading on fresh fish. I want to say they fry their food in fat instead of oil because of the extra flavor on the chips. My only regret is getting this as takeaway instead of enjoying it immediately while hot. The food was still excellent but would have even better if it wasn't eaten 30 minutes later. Such a friendly owner. My wife who picked up the food said he offered to bring the food to the car because it was raining and had a lovely conversation with him. Huge portions and quality = amazing value Tip - The chips don't come with any condiments. If you need ketchup, vinegar, or dipping sauce, you need to order separately. You're going to want the garlic mayo. Trust me

    Delicious flakey fresh fish perfectly fried. It was not greasy or heavy, light and flavorful, crunchy and paired well with fat chips. The chips were crunchy and salty. It's quite a large portion of fish and it is covered with chips -- could honestly share and still be full! A definite must have (they are take away only but it's fine because you can sit nearby and watch the fishing boats come in!)

    Haddock and chips
    Alicia R.

    Amazing fish and chips! We had the smoked haddock and the hake and I don't know what was better! Not greasy and really crisp with fresh and tender fish. I also recommend the garlic mayo to go with the fat and soft fries. The lady sitting next to me said they were the best fish and chips she had ever had and she was from London. I wholeheartedly agree!

    If you want fish & chips in Dingle there is only one place to go and that's Reel Dingle Fish. Although relatively new to the market they have perfected the fish & chips formula to a tee. The fish is all sourced locally, the batter is delicious and the chips are home cut and have that perfect mix of crunchy and mushy. Yum. And for those not into fish, their West Kerry Burgers are amazing too. Should be noted that there is very little seating, just a small bar with a couple of stools so best to takeaway.

    Hake fish n chips were delightful! Breaded when we ordered and fried. The house tarter sauce is a must also. Vinegary and fresh, just the way I like it! It was recommended by a local. Best advice! I'll miss this place!

    We ended up ordering cod and hake to split between four of us and a picnic table across the street from the restaurant.

We ordered the following: Starters *House cured salmon and cod in nori seaweed - excellent, sushi quality, the cod was nice and salty, portion wasn't the largest *Warm smoked mackerel with horseradish and dill dressing - really tasty and a nice portion *Flash pan squid with chiles and coriander- outstanding with a kick Mains *Pan fried black sole on the bone, dill, and toasted almond butter-maybe the star of the show, a large portion, fall of the bone and the toasted almond butter was awesome *OOTB fish selection; John Dory, sole and halibut fillets served with a lobster sauce - the fish was great, but the lobster sauce had zero flavor *Dingle bay lobster from the tank- we got the last one, it was excellent The beer and wine were excellent. The service was great. The interior had a tile floor with a sort of Mexican fishing village theme. Reasonably priced for top level fresh seafood. Highly recommend.

The front is a basic and unassuming, but neat, blue building. Inside remains simple, but quality, with light wood, soft light, and sea themed decor. As the menu changes so frequently, a dish can run out that evening, it is handwritten on a chalkboard that is brought to the table. It was very difficult to choose, the entire menu was well done. The brown bread was also the best of the trip, theirs had more seeds and the right balance of dense. Be careful to not fill up on bread as you will not want to miss any of the rest of the meal. Since the menu changes so frequently, describing what we ordered is not helpful. Both dishes were incredible, fresh, cooked perfectly, and with interesting and well matched ingredients. We ate every possible bite. We managed to save room and share a dessert, worth every calorie. I'm surprised to see any negative reviews. In my option, for the quality of the meal, the prices were completely reasonable. If you are in Dingle (which if you go to Ireland you absolutely should as the town deserves a visit), make reservations!

Based on a recommendation, we made sure to add Boatyard to our itinerary while visiting Dingle. We grabbed a late lunch, both got fish and chips, and one of us got a cocktail. The fish and chips were tasty, not the best I've ever had. The fish was well fried and flaky sided with your standard chips/fries served with ketchup and house made tartar sauce, which was honestly the best part of the dish! Service was friendly and welcoming from entry to exit. The space is cute with a large main dining room up front with lots of natural lights and large windows looking g at the bay. There is a cozier dining room inside, along with two outdoor spaces once more formal than the other. The front patio looks great, but sadly du to weather and season, it was closed. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at The Boatyard. Definitely recommend it when in Dingle!

As we waited the tables started to fill up and, while hesitant about the reviews we read, we were encouraged by the number of people arriving. We enjoyed our drinks and thankfully got our order taken before the large group of 12 beside us and 3 other tables. While the appetizer came quickly. Our main courses didn't arrive until after ALL the other tables had ordered, were served and most of the people had finished their meals! During this period we were checked on once and were assured our meals were on their way. Then ignored. When we mentioned the extraordinarily long time that we waited and was told there was nothing they could do but apologize......a complimentary dessert....a drink on the house. Nothing! Service: inattentive and uncaring Food: Calamari was tender but the lettuce on the salad was wilted on old Tortellini tasteless and barely warm Mussels overcooked and gritty but the sauce was tasty. Served with a piece of soda bread that was cold from refrigeration. Atmosphere: Nice view, with outside seating if weather permits, it is a very noisy restaurant due to the acoustics of the interior's design. A very disappointing dining experience and a very sad experience for our first night in Dingle. Not at all worth the price paid! There are plenty of seafood restaurants. Skip this one.

    Another great pub lunch. Our tour guide recommended one so being ornery we went to the other which…read morelooked more inviting. I had the Fish Pie: salmon, cod, smoked haddock in white wine cream sauce topped with mash(ed potatoes). It had plentiful fish and was served very hot. I liked the variety of fish. The smokiness from the haddock complemented the simpler flavors of the cod and salmon. Potato topping was slightly browned under the broiler. The fries were good. This also came with another excellent pre-dressed small green salad and good coleslaw: light on the mayonnaise, tangy, and peppery. The wife had the fish and chips and I thought it the best of at least 3 we've had in Ireland. The batter was consistently crunchy, thickness appropriate for the fish, and the portion generous. Again, served with sides of the same green salad and coleslaw, and more mushy peas. I think the wife likes these more than I do. The server was welcoming, the surroundings inviting, and we spent a relaxing 35 minutes or so and, refreshed, continued our walking tour. Sadly didn't get to try the Sticky Toffee Pudding because we had planned on ice cream down the street. Looking at the website just now I see they have rooms upstairs. One described as "Cute Apartment" and the other as "Cosy Flat". Probably worth checking out if you're considering a stay in Dingle.

We tried the Dingle single malt signature - smooth and intense. The fish pie was our consolation prize after the fish and chips were sold out. Delicate, golden topped pastry over a bed of mashed potatoes with creamy fish in what is like a pot pie, was piping hot. It was served with a side salad, cole slaw and chips. Chips were very good. We shared a beetroot salad, which was excellent with yummy garlic bread. Sticky toffee pudding was the finale. It was good, not great. The edges were a little dry and the dough was coarse, not smooth and velvety as I hoped because of others I have had in the past elsewhere. The waitress saved us the last piece since she heard us talk about it. That was extra nice! Good atmosphere and service, good drinks.
