The menu has numerous pizza choices and other pasta dishes and other things as well. I started with the arancini balls which were served with marinara sauce. I got a 9"pepperoni pizza for my meal. The arancini was nothing like we have at home and I didn't really care for it. The pizza looked great and was only 4 slices. The pepperoni was in little cubes, not like we have in the U.S. Although it looked good, the crust was really tough and hard to chew. The toppings were ok, but different than I am used to. All in all, not my favorite place.

With so much fish & chips around we decided to break it up and try some Italian food. They say…read morethat they have a wood fired stove so we tried the pepperoni pizza. It was not topped with American pepperoni, but more of a Capicola type meat, it was good. The crust, cheese and sauce were all solid. We also ordered the garlic bread, while it did not have much of a garlic taste, the bread was certainly fresh and we enjoyed it. We also ordered a child's size penne alla vodka to sample the pasta, it was very nice. We sat outside, enjoyed some beer and our server from Albania was excellent.

The confit tomato appetiser we shared was excellent although the sourdough bread outshone the tomatoes in my opinion.

All accompanied by an excellent Malbec. Recommended

Our dinner was a welcome alternative to classic Irish cuisine. We made reservations, arrived early, and were seated promptly. They have a time limit on the tables, and very generous by American standards. Our wait staff were friendly, helpful, and there when we needed them. We found the atmosphere to be warm, comfortable, relaxed, friendly, and rustic. It was also cool to peak into the Kitchen and watch one of the owners in made-to-order action. One thing about tapas/pintxos restaurants is that 2 things sneak up on you as you continue to order small plates: the overall bill and how full you become before you know it. For the 4 of us, our total came out to 161 Euros (including a 12.5% service charge), which I thought was a good value for the quality of food and drinks received. Our choices included 4 different glasses of wine from a very nice list, with prices ranging from 10-16 Euros. We also had 1 coffee and 3 Herbal teas at the end. In between, our food choices were: - Grilled Sour Dough, Confit Cherry Tomatoes & Dingle Sea Salt + Extra - Roasted Almonds - Crisp O Connors Spuds "Bravas Style" Manchego & Aioli - Chorizo Sausage - Chorizo & Manchego Croquette, Aioli, Dingle Sea Salt - Fig Tempura, Dingle Goats Cheese, Peppered Honey - Potato Hash We enjoyed all our choices, with the only one comment that the croquette was a bit rich for our pedestrian tastes. We'd gladly come back to explore the menu further, which probably changes from time to time.

First off, I have to say that the service was great at this place. Everyone was friendly and…read moreattentive. That said, the food was average at best. My son got pizza and it reminded me of microwave pizzas in college, ten for $10 for a reason... The place itself was clean, maybe a little too clean as it smelled strongly of disinfectant, which was a little off putting. Outside of that, nothing particularly remarkable about the venue itself. With all of the other food options in Dingle I suspect there were better choices.

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!

There was live music inside starting at 6:30pm which made the inside a bit loud and stuffy so we were very glad to sit outside and enjoy the music and the people watching along the Strand. The service was excellent and we enjoyed our meals: - seafood chowder - 5/5 plenty for two people to share and large chunks of varied seafood and potato in a creamy soup, yum!

I have eaten here over the years, and our family can still remember their original experience. I enjoyed fresh halibut and scallops.

Potatoes on side were roasted with herbs and duck fat. This restaurant embodies the new cuisine of Ireland. I plan on returning once more to the Half Door before I leave Dingle--no small compliment, considering all of the eateries to choose from in Dingle.

Another fantastic meal in Dingle!…read more The food at The Global Village Restaurant is nothing short of amazing! My sister and I did not think reservations were needed to dine here on a Monday during the off-season. (We were wrong!) Luckily, we were able to make reservations for our party of three on the following evening. We scheduled our dinner reservation at 5:30 pm so that we could take advantage of the early bird menu. The early bird menu is a steal! (Two courses for €28 or three courses for €32.) The restaurant was fairly empty when we first arrived so we were able to ask our waitress about the different dishes on the menu. I wasn't familiar with many of the seafood dishes on the menu so our waitress helped me choose a mild white fish from the selection. We started off our meal bottle of Prosecco from Global Village's impressive wine menu. For my first course I selected a trio of duck appetizers. My beautifully decorated plate included duck liver parfait, smoked duck breast, and rillette of confit leg with garden greens and spiced apple chutney. The appetizer was absolutely heavenly! For my second course I selected the pollock with duck fat potatoes, spinach, chorizo, and tarragon hollandaise. The fish was very mild and paired great with the potatoes, chorizo and hollandaise sauce. I selected French cream puffs filled with hazelnut praline cream, honeycomb, and aerated white chocolate and served with caramelized white chocolate ice cream and cocoa tuille. This dessert was absolutely heavenly! Would highly recommend reserving a table at The Global Village Restaurant if you are visiting Dingle, Ireland.

VERY poor service detracted from our evening…read more.... We visited with some local friends and were looking forward to dinner, but from the moment we walked into the restaurant the whole service experience was a let down. There was confusion as our booking had been recorded for 2, but it we had requested a table for four. The soul male waiter who proceeded to explain the situation did not handle the matter well, but we were assured that a table that could accommodate us would soon be available. When we eventually saw a table was laid up, we had been waiting outside, we walked back in to find the table lacked 2 chairs. A waitress indicated that she would bring two, but after 5 minutes two of our party were still standing, so we simply took two unoccupied chairs from an adjacent table. Could the staff not have done this? On this Saturday night they had a party of 15 ladies in celebrating an event, and as the evening progressed this booking caused the whole restaurant to become overwhelmed with noise, inefficient service and generally a poor level of customer care. We were left waiting for bread, and only got some when I got up and asked at the service counter, after our starters were served. I had to ask three times in total. One of the more mature waitresses did inform us that due to the large party our main courses would be a little delayed and she was alone in trying to handle the issue. Other staff members seemed over whelmed. We reflect that the restaurant should not have accepted our reservation after such a large party had been seated, as the kitchen was having an issue serving 14 main courses at once. This might be expected but for the first hour of our visit to the restaurant no one attempted to engage us with the problem. A complimentary glass of wine and a sorry might have changed our entire view of the situation. The food when it arrived was very good and we would happily recommend the chef. So would we return, yes...but we would question what other reservations the restaurant had accepted.
