At the
Global Village Restaurant,
Martin Bealin concocts his favorite dishes with in-
spiration gleaned from his travels around the world. He has a passion for making things
from scratch and giving dishes a creative twist. No chips, no deep-fat-fried anything. It's
an eclectic, healthy, fresh seafood-eaters' place (€25-30 dinners, good salads, early-bird
special 17:30-19:00, open June-Sept Wed-Mon 17:30-22:00, closed Tue and through the
winter, top of Main Street, tel. 066/915-2325, mobile 087-917-5920).
James G. Ashe Pub and Restaurant,
an old-fashioned joint, is popular with locals
for its nicely presented, top-quality, traditional Irish food and seafood at good prices.
Check out the photos of Gregory Peck, who was related to the Ashe family and visited the
pub often. I like their beef-and-Guinness stew (€15-25 dinners, €21.50 two-course early-
bird special served 17:30-19:00, daily 12:00-15:00 & 17:00-21:30, Main Street, tel. 066/
915-0989).
Fenton's
is good for seafood meals with a memorable apple-and-berry-crumble
dessert. On sunny days, I enjoy their delightful garden section out back (€23-30 main
courses, €26 two-course and €30 three-course early-bird specials before 19:00, open Tue-
Sun 18:00-21:30, closed Mon, reservations smart, on Green Street down the hill below the
church, tel. 066/915-2172, mobile 087-248-2487,

The Half Door,
at the top of the town, is one of Dingle's longestablished top-notch res-
taurants (on John Street), satisfying diners with €30-40 meals and hearty portions. While
elegant, the dining room feels a bit congested (€29 early-bird three-course meal served
17:30-18:30, Mon-Sat 12:30-14:00 & 18:00-21:30, closed Sun, reservations smart, tel.
