The late Lisbeth Mulcahy was a Danish-born tapestry artist who was a game-changer on the creative scene in Dingle. Her herringbone designs in deep blue and heather-purple reflect the wind-lashed landscape, while her strokeable lambswool and soft alpaca scarves are essential packing in a place of unpredictable elements.

The light and the sea are recurring themes in the exhibitions at this large gallery in the centre of town. The ever-changing scenery around Dingle inspires the roster of artists on show: from the soft-blue-toned impressionistic works of Sarah Tormey to the print-like paintings of Brandon-based Niall Naessens.

Behind its cool grey and yellow facade, this community-focused coffeeshop is a local favourite for its smiling staff, soulful tunes and short but flavour-packed menu, from sausage and black pudding rolls to ‘healthy muffins’ and swirled chocolate babka. Take home a bag of the small-batch house-roasted beans sourced from around the world.

Opened in 2018 by Irish chef Nicky Foley, who’d lived in Spain for five years, this cheerily painted tapas spot pulls in punters for its Hibernia-meets-Iberia menu. Confit ‘spuds’ come bravas-style with black truffle aioli; local pork belly is served with morcilla blood sausage; honey from the restaurant’s own beehives is peppered and drizzled on fig tempura and Dingle goat’s cheese.
