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.
