A traditional steakhouse that focuses on Irish bred cattle and sustainable stock from rare breed herds that are traceable from farm to fork.

At Ribeye, we insist on all our beef being moderate to highly marbled to ensure the juiciest most flavoursome meat possible. During the cooking process, the marbling renders down leaving the meat full of flavour incredibly tender and so, so succulent!

The restaurant is beautiful and the quality of the food is superb. It's a perfect balance of feeling like a bit of luxury and not being overly stuffy. We went with our kids who were very welcomed but equally good for a date night or with friends. It's a gem of a place.
