Our Latest Great Place To Eat - Beeftro Dundrum
Tuesday 16 December 2014
The atmosphere in Beeftro is more Art Deco Parisian café style, than down on the Pampas, with wonderful lighting and a specially imported signature tiled floor.
Capital Foods Ltd are the team behind Beeftro here and have cleverly secured Ryan Bell, ex Head Chef at Shanahan’s on the Green, so I guess you couldn’t get a better man to cook your steak or burger.
With a New World twist to the Beeftro menu, Starters/Light Bites include carpaccio of beef sporting caper lemon jam and popcorn shoots, whilst pork ribs are combined with chicken wings. Truffle and mixed mushroom have a Pont L’Eveque dip and, of course, there is French Onion soup! Friend Kate kicked off with warm salad of flaked confit duck tossed with green lentils, gooseberries, and Sherry vinaigrette, which were served in a snazzy black French onion soup bowl with a handle. This would actually make a very good Light Bite, or lunch, if you wanted to go down the route of smaller plates. The same could be said for my large salad of fresh crab and roasted calamari which handsomely covered a rectangular slate with three quenelles of crab mayo, chargrilled rings of squid, beetroot, greenery, shredded carrot and red onion.
Steaks come in lots of cuts & sizes, from a 300g-sirloin rump steak to a ginormous 800g rib steak cooked on the bone for 2. Fishophiles can choose from wood fired grilled Sea Bream, Hake & Shrimp Gratin, and there is a 600g Half Crispy Free Range chicken.
