John Street, Dingle, Co.Kerry
The Half Door Restaurant
On a clear summer's day, when the bushes in the lanes around Dingle Bay are ablaze with fuchsia and the brightly coloured fishing boats cluster around the harbour, there's no finer place to stop for a pint of Guiness and the biggest platter of seafood you've ever seen than Denis O'Connor's Half Door Restaurant.
Each morning local fishermen deliver their catch through the stable door from which the restaurant takes its name. There may be John Dory, brill, plaice, lobster, crayfish, prawns and crab - all of which will be prepared with the lightest of touches, complimented with the simplest yet most imaginative of sauces, and served with crumbly
irish soda bread. During the summer months every plate is decorated with some of the famous deep pink fuchsia blooms.
