For lighter bites, visit Mary-Kathryn’s deli for fresh sandwiches that are wholesome and tasty, while you’ll find excellent coffee that is locally roasted Square Coffee.

They also have their own range of beer here made with the team at Dew Drop Brewery. Hearty, simple food - that is cooked well and paired alongside top class service in stylish surroundings. What Barry Liscombe has created at Harte’s gastropub is making Kildare a must-visit destination. Stay: Set in the heart of Carrick-on-Shannon, you’re never far from a great meal when staying at The Bush Hotel. Make sure to visit Lena’s tea room for their homemade baked cooks and award-winning marmalades and jams. The Oarsman has been serving top quality food for many years, always adapting and striving to improve on their already brilliant menu. You’ll be certain to find a dynamic of range of culinary offerings in this riverside town, starting with confident cooking at The Cottage where chef Sham Hanifa uses local produce to create an Asian-inspired menu. Stay: Located on Main Street, Benners is within walking distance of every restaurant. You’ll find the best breakfast in town at My Boy Blue, never get a bad coffee from Justin and the team at Bean In Dingle, and you can’t leave without a trip to the home of Murphy’s ice-cream - the brown bread ice-cream is a firm favourite of mine. Restaurants have come and gone over the years but Global Village and The Chart House remain strong, using local produce to create exquisite dishes.

As reliable as a Fungie sighting, dining in Dingle never disappoints.
