Lucinda O'Sullivan's Ireland

About The Restaurant

Ryan's of Parkgate Street is one of Dublin's legendary Victorian pubs with its wonderful carved bar and woodwork, stained glass features, and the old Dublin phenomenon "the snug" where people could slip away quietly for their pint and not be seen! Ryan's is a "must visit" place if you are coming to Dublin. It has had many famous people pass through its doors over the years including President Clinton, Julia Roberts and Niall Quinn, and they are just the tip of the iceberg. They are renowned for what is reputedly the best pint in Dublin. Now you can not only have the best pint in Dublin but arguably some of the best steaks in the country for there is Ryan's Restaurant, FXB's are a family with a great reputation who were always in the butchering business. Now with a number of restaurants around Dublin, they source all their excellent meat from their own farm in County Offaly. Fresh fish is bought daily and they use the best of fresh vegetables.

They do a great Fish 'n Chips of Beer battered haddock with home cut chips and tartare sauce – all very reasonably priced – and there is always a "Catch of the Day" option. Steaks as I say are the biz at FXB. They have 10 oz Dry Aged Sirloins and sublime 8 oz Dry Aged Fillets. They also do a great 12oz Dry Aged Rib Eye Steak with cajun string onions – I love that. All steaks are served with either home cut chips, baked potato, mash or salad, and a choice of pepper sauce, garlic butter, red wine jus or Bearnaise. Wines are available by the glass or by the bottle – reasonably priced. If you are only visiting Dublin for the day – you are also very close to Heuston Station and indeed the Luas.
