Forget Brunch – This Dublin Restaurant Is Bringing Back The Weekend Roast Starting Tomorrow

Megan Cassidy

The Butcher’s Grill in Ranelagh is a steak-lover’s fave…

But it probably hasn’t been top of the brunch list… until now.

They’re getting in on the weekend morning action and proving they are so much more than just a steakhouse, but not with brunch as you know it.

They’re offering up simple, delicious comfort food in the form of a hearty roast, starting on December 1st.

The Weekend Roast replaces Brunch on Saturday and Sunday with a new, deceptively simple offering – three starters, three roasts, eight sides and one dessert. This is comfort food at its very best, using the finest ingredients to create a perfect relaxed dining experience.

The three starters on offer have been selected to complement the Roast selection. Achill Sound Pacific Oysters with Red Wine Shallot Vinaigrette (€16/€28), Tuna Tostados with Avocado Puree, Chipotle Mayo and Crispy Shallots (€13) or a White Pudding Scotch Egg with Homemade Brown Sauce (€7).

The stars of the show are the three roasts (€18/€35 for two). Choose from Roast Rib of Beef with Horseradish Sauce, Roast Rack of Pork with Apple Sauce or a Half Roast Chicken with Chicken Jus. Roasts can also be ordered family style – serving up to 6 people for a real feast (€68 for 4/€100 for 6). Simply ask the waiter. Roasts are served with Yorkshire Pudding, Gravy, Stuffing and Roast Potatoes.

Sides (€4.50) are the perfect accompaniment. Choose from Cheesy Cauliflower, House Fries, House Salad, Smokey Bacon with Black Eyed Beans, Mash with Bone Marrow Butter, Grilled Broccoli with Hazelnut dressing, Brussels Sprouts & Bacon or Parsnips, Carrots & Green Beans

There’s just one dessert (€8). But it’s the best one. Bread & Butter Pudding with Brandy Butterscotch and Vanilla Ice Cream.

General Manager Anthony Bonneau can advise on Aperitifs, Digestifs, Wines and more from the excellent selection available. His expertise and effortless charm is a large part of the popularity of The Butcher Grill – now serving Ireland’s best Roast!
