Bovinity; no white tablecloths, no pretension, just fresh, locally sourced food and drinks.

We strive to break free from tradition and carve 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**

                                                            Really disappointed. I was really looking forward to it. My food was cold, I asked if they could heat it and have more gravy. They brought out a different dinner with one piece of Broccoli & one piece of carrot. And was still not very hot. And was charged for an extra bit of gravy? 🤦🏻🤷🏻

                                                            Amazing food, setting and staff. One of the best restaurants I have been to in quite a while. Will be raving about the meal from here on out. Definitely will be back.

                                                            Good food experience, which also catered for vegetarians. Only disappointing experience was that half way through our sitting we were asked to move tables as a larger party were coming in. The staff did not say when they needed the table when asked. Our dinner plates, coats and bags had to brought over. It was a needless exercise as by the time we ate and paid for our meal and left our original table was still empty. The restaurant was busy and maybe the pre-christmas rush caused the confusion and mismanagement. I'd go back again nonetheless

                                                            Disappointed with the size of the starter for its price. Steak was cooked to perfection. 3rd time eating here and each time the steak has been 10/10.

                                                            I’ve been to Bovinity a few times now and always enjoy it, it’s one of those places you can count on as I’ve yet to have an unpleasant experience. There were 3 of us dining for lunch yesterday, we started with a per lunch cocktail, (it is Christmas). We had the sharing steak with the sides, I have to say I can’t fault the food and the service and friendliness from all the staff is second to none! The only negative thing if I’m being picky is that the booths down the middle of the restaurant for 4 are cramped and horribly uncomfortable, I felt I was pushed against the wall whilst sitting beside my friend and our elbows kept knocking of each other when eating. We had the good sense to let our other friend (a rugby player) have the opposite side for himself. The backs of the booths are at a right angle hard upright and no leeway to rest back a little whilst enjoying the food and conversation. Other than that, I’ll be back as food and service has always been great.
