Jim McCarthy's Chart House restaurant in Dingle is one of those places which seems to sum up the spirit of summer. You find it just at the side of the road, as you come into Dingle from the east, in a handsome low stone building fronted by a half door. Inside, McCarthy has created a space of subliminal comfort, the sort of room that makes you want to kick your shoes off and settle in for the evening. The Irish Times
