Bovinity in Dublin

Fantastic dinner and great environment

Came for a post Oasis recovery roast during our trip to Dublin. Very cool and comfortable interior, friendly staff and a great menu. We both had the beef roast which was gorgeous, washed down with a nice bottle of Malbec, followed by salted caramel tiramisu and an Irish coffee. It was quiet when we arrived and was bustling when we left, could have happily spent all afternoon there. Would love to come for a meal again to sample the rest of the menu.

Steak was cooked perfectly jusice full of flavour lovely evening

The ribeye steak was perfectly seared, with a caramelized crust and a juicy, tender center that melted in the mouth. Each bite delivered bold, beefy flavor, enhanced by just the right amount of seasoning.

Located on a bustling street, this steakhouse offers high-quality meat. I ordered the Côte de boeuf, which was beautifully presented and cooked perfectly rare. However, the cut was much fattier than I prefer, so I ended up leaving a good portion of it. In hindsight, I probably should have ordered a leaner cut like the fillet. The side of onion strings was also a little too greasy for me. The atmosphere is quite cozy, with small tables packed closely together, so it's probably not the best spot for a private conversation. The staff, however, were all very kind and attentive.

If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to eat in a fashion runway show disguised as a steakhouse, Bovinity has you covered. The decor? Glamorous enough to make you question if you wore the right shoes. The lighting? So moody it feels like the restaurant is judging you. And the waitstaff? Let’s just say… they serve side-eye with every course. From the moment we sat down, we felt less like guests and more like contestants on a reality show titled “Are You Chic Enough to Dine Here?” Spoiler: we were not. 🥩 The food? Actually decent. 💁‍♂️ The vibes? Dramatic. 👀 The waiters? Gave us looks that could sear a steak faster than the kitchen. It’s hard to enjoy your lamb (or your life choices) when you’re being silently judged for asking for extra sauce. Apparently, joy is not on the menu. Bovinity may be stylish, but if you’re looking for warmth, comfort, or a smile that isn’t dripping with condescension — you might want to moo-ve along. We won’t be back, unless it’s to drop off a copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People.

A total win. Saved our Sunday night with the hero shift the staff put in, particularly the foh who greeted us at the door and handled any questions and recommendations for the wine. The food followed suit and i highly recommend the beef spring rolls, any of their perfectly cooked steaks and soft shell crab, as well as the bone gravy to lather on said steak or any of the sides, and a special mention to the chocolate coconut dessert- probably my favourite dessert in dublin. A big thank you for a great experience, will definitely be coming back again.

My husband and I have been here several times. Each time the food has been fantastic. Hubby always gets steak whereas I have tried some of their other dishes. The service is awesome and we love the chill vibe of the restaurant. Highly recommend this spot!

Excellent food for a steakhouse! Starters were delish, steak, sides and pepper sauce were 10/10 and the salted caramel tiramisu was sooooo good. Service was good and restaurant was nice. A little bit dark and a little bit loud but overall a really nice meal and we’d definitely be back!

A very good steak house. Expensive but it is what it is. Would recommend.
