And luckily, Dublin has loads of great options for a mean steak dinner for you and your aul lad this Father’s Day.
1. Fire Restaurant

Named after the cut of meat that comes from the shoulder blade of the animal, this spot on Dawson Street is also a good shout.
Their Featherblade steak and Picanha steak come with a choice of whiskey peppercorn sauce, bearnaise sauce, or herb, garlic and chilli sauce.

3. The Chop House
This gastropub is located on the Shelbourne Road in Ballsbridge and sources its meat from two Irish farms, one in County Clare and one in County Roscommon.
When you walk in, you’re presented with their ‘meat board’, showcasing cuts such as ribeye, fillet, sirloin and porterhouse. And they also do handy share platters.
