About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Lively
Bovinity; no white tablecloths, no pretension, just fresh, locally sourced food and drinks.

Breaking free from tradition and carving out a space where authenticity reigns and the experience is as real as the flavours on your plate. The menu includes a curated selection of cuts that speak for themselves. Irish, dry-aged beef, the kind of rich, indulgent flavours that demand attention. The cocktails are unique, modern, and made with natural ingredients . The wine list, carefully selected and chosen to compliment every moment.

This is the kind of place where everything is shared—from the steak to those dangerously addictive sides—because, let's face it, that’s what food is all about. Good company, compliments great food. And the vibe? Laid-back, gritty, with a soundtrack that’s as real as it gets. This is Irish hospitality at its finest—warm, buzzing, no-frills, and full of heart.

**Tables of 6+ will be offered a selection of two set menus. Email info@bovinity.ie for info**

Staff are exceptional here and very friendly and make you feel so welcome. We started with a beautiful cocktail. For mains we ordered Chateauxbriand and Dextor medium rare steaks and they were cooked and rested to perfection. Highly recommend ill be back.

What I assumed was just a regular restaurant (one of many in Ireland) turned out to be one of the BEST steaks I have ever had. My husband and I split the Chatauebriand steak and was worth the value! I highly recommend this restaurant. María

The chateaubriand was the absolute star — perfectly cooked, super tender, and packed with flavour. And the chimichurri they served with it? Unreal. Fresh, herby, and just the right kick — it took the steak to a whole other level. The scallops were a surprise hit too — rich and buttery, served with apple and ginger that gave them a fresh, slightly sweet twist. So well balanced. Didn’t expect to love them as much as I did. The vibe was lively but relaxed — even on a busy night like Father’s Day, it never felt rushed or chaotic. Great atmosphere for a special occasion or just a solid dinner out. Staff were lovely — genuinely friendly and happy to chat through the menu. Felt really looked after without it being too much. Would I go back? Absolutely. Already planning the next visit for that chateaubriand and chimichurri combo alone.
