F.X. Buckley in Dublin

I was highly recommended to try the local beef, and dining at FX Buckley Steakhouse on Crow Street was one of the best food decisions of the entire trip. Located in the heart of Temple Bar, the restaurant draws you in from the moment you walk through the door with its incredibly welcoming atmosphere—elegant yet unpretentious, decorated with warm woods and leather seating. What makes this place unique is that the beef comes directly from the family's own historic butcher shop, and they have a visible aging refrigerator in the dining room that gives you a taste of what you're about to experience. The service was impeccable; the servers show incredible pride in their product and show you the different cuts of meat before cooking them in their charcoal ovens. We ordered a ribeye and a sirloin, and I can honestly say it was one of the best steaks I've ever had: tender, juicy, and with that perfect smoky flavor from the charcoal. The sides were equally impressive, especially the fries cooked in beef fat, which were an absolute delight. We also enjoyed some fantastic cocktails with our dinner and took advantage of their excellent wine list. It's not a cheap place, but the exceptional quality of the food and the service more than justify every euro. If you're visiting Dublin and looking for a special dinner featuring authentic, top-quality Irish beef, I recommend booking a table in advance at any of these restaurants because they fill up quickly. I left satisfied, happy, and eager to return on my next trip to Ireland.

Delicious meat and excellent service.

Very nice place, qualified staff, excellent food

I've eaten many entrecotes around the world but this Ribeye was the best.

This place was absolutely sensational! The best steak me and my partner have ever had. We had the Porterhouse for two and it was such good value for money! We also had the beef tartare to start and the duck special with the best parsnip puree! This place is a must try! We will be coming back on our next trip to Dublin.

There is simply nothing I could detract from this spot. Burrata salad starter was vibrant and amazing with our bottle of Buckley reserve from South Africa (Cab/Merlot stunner) followed by a aged 7 oz Ribeye with peppercorn sauce (amazing). Whipped potatos with that as gravy was next level. All around astounding for our first night in Dublin.

Fantastic experience highly recommend FX Buckley looking forward to our next visit

One of the best steaks I’ve had in a while!! Not cheap, but well well worth it. Cant recommend enough! ✨✨

Incredible food and five-star hospitality We had a phenomenal meal here. Being from Argentina, it’s rare to find beef that truly impresses me, but the porterhouse to share was unbelievably tender, full of flavor, and cooked to absolute perfection, exactly as we asked for. The sides were also very generous and delicious The staff went above and beyond: our waiter was very informative and attentive, and the manager kindly arranged a quiet, intimate table for our anniversary just as requested in our booking notes and the complimentary touch for the occasion made it even more memorable Thank you for making our anniversary so special, we will definitely be back

This place will never ever disappoint you! Every location has its unique magic! Honestly one of my favs of all times! Thank you!
