Main Course

Welcome to the home of the worlds greatest steak! When it comes to beef, there is nothing better than a dry - aged steak. Our local in house dry aged beef has a remarkable depth of flavour. This is achieved by sourcing local beef from the highest grade of traditional breeds of cattle, hanging their prime cuts of beef for up to 21 days. The process enhances the beef which offers a more succulent, tender, improved buttery texture and mellower yet beefier taste. Surf Your Steak! Sautéed Prawns in Garlic Butter €3.90.
