We had a fantastic dinner at The Cow on our last night in Dublin. We discovered the pub the night before, but they were about to close. The hostess took us out to the street and showed us other options in the neighborhood that she recommended. With that, we knew that we HAD to come back the next night and eat at The Cow. Manager Joe promised us the best meal of our trip and the Cow team did not disappoint! What a great experience! Even more enjoyable was the time Joe spent talking with us about politics, American football, our experiences in Ireland, etc. We really enjoyed those discussions and it was the highlight of our Ireland dining experiences. Our meals at the Cow were stellar, with great tastes, plating and pairings. Highly recommended!

We had a beautiful meal last night in The Cow, Ballsbridge. The French onion soup was excellent, Chargrilled brocolli was perfectly cooked . Firm and very tasteful. Hot and cold seafood platter from the specials of the day was absolutely delicious. The variety and flavours of the dish was one of the best. Pricilla looked after us and we really enjoyed the time she gave us. She was outstanding. We will definitely be going back. Wishing them great success.

Fabulous meal in The Cow pub and kitchen. All the lovely Chophouse team are still there and we were very well looked after by Pricilla. The food was as good as ever- the fishboard, prawn starter and burger were sublime 🤗
