The Blue Zone/Jazz & Pizza/Wine Bar Green Street, Dingle, County Kerry

"Very vegan friendly jazz bar with friendly staff in a relaxed environment. Menu states they have vegan cheese for +€1.50 and staff are happy to switch around toppings for you. Vegan dessert also offered: we had the ice-cream and sorbet. Highly recommend"

"Very disappointed. Do not recommend. I made a booking for 2 people a week in advance. When we arrived (8pm, 1.5hrs before closing) the owner told us that they were sold out of pizzas and couldn’t possibly serve us that night. He continued to say that they always sell out of pizzas on Mondays and that there wasn’t any point in making bookings for that day. He was standoffish in his tone and seemed to suggest that it was our fault for making a booking on that day. At no point did he apologise for any inconvenience. Personally I think this is a strange way to treat your customers. If you have taken a booking and apparently know that you will not have any food left, it would be best to not take the booking in the first place or to call in advance to inform that they would not have any pizzas. We travelled across the country to get to this restaurant at that specific time. So we were very disappointed by the situation - it’s one thing to be out of stock unexpectedly. But another thing entirely to know it will happen and to still take bookings, and then not acknowledge that it was of any inconvenience to us - just not a sound thing to do. Such a shame! I had been to this restaurant once before and the food was great but I did notice the owner seemed rude - I put it down to the stress and demand of having a full restaurant. But after this latest visit, I feel my instinct was right. I wouldn’t recommend this place anymore unfortunately."

"Me and my other half visited the Blue zone last night, visited here a fair few times in the last few years, and yet again lovely food, smoked salmon pate starter was awesome, great pizzas too, and pear pie with almond ice cream desert, was fantastic. Good service too. Looking forward to visiting again in the near future. Thanks very much."

"Been going here on visits to Dingle for around 13 years and it's always been good. Most recent visit was just last week and I might say that it was better than ever. The pizzas seemed to be really packed with toppings - more so than normal. Everything was very tasty, the owner was really friendly to the kids, the wine was just yum and we had a great family meal there. It will remain a staple of every Dingle trip!"

"We loved to discover Blue Zone in Dingle! We knew right away when we saw this place we would love it and were not disappointed. The owner welcomed us with comfy seating, good converations, and recs for sightseeing the next day. The large side salad was decadent and the vegan pizza was delicious! We even decided to come back for round 2 the next day."
