Dublin is renowned for its vibrant culinary scene, which has taken the world by storm.
However, now it has been taken up a notch with the news that one of the city’s steak restaurants has been named one of the best in the world.
Dublin has a plethora of steakhouses, but it’s F.X. Buckley that has ranked the highest in Europe and is the only Irish restaurant to make the 2023 list. Here is everything you need to know.
Dublin steakhouse named the world’s best − F.X. Buckley’s incredible achievement
Meat lovers will be familiar with iconic Dublin steakhouses like Featherblade, Hawksmoor and Shanahan’s on the Green. However, it was one name in particular that ranked among the world’s best steak restaurants.
F. X. Buckley has made a name for itself within the capital and across Ireland for serving up the finest prime quality meat, and now that recognition has expanded globally.
In a recent list of the 101 best steak restaurants undertaken by WBSR (World’s Best Steak Restaurants), F.X Buckley claimed 6th place in the world and was the only Irish steak restaurant to make the 2023 list.
Delighted with the achievement, they posted on their social media accounts that “it wouldn’t be possible without the continuous support and appreciation of our amazing patrons”.
F.X Buckley ranks 6th best steak restaurant in the world − tough competition
F. X. Buckley’s fantastic achievement surprised many, considering the immense competition from cities such as Buenos Aires, New York, Sydney and Madrid.
Notably, F.X. Buckley was the sole Irish representative on the list, and they did their nation proud.
The WBSR, an authority in the realm of fine dining, recognizes establishments across the globe for serving high standards of beef and showcasing their efforts to the world.
This iconic Dublin steakhouse’s recognition comes down to its dedication to using 100% Irish Angus and Hereford Beef. This dedication sets them apart from the tough competition.
The secret to being the best − locally sourced prime quality beef
F. X. Buckley are fully committed to sourcing the beef themselves to ensure complete control over quality.
For six generations, the family have achieved legendary status. This is thanks to their humble beginnings as butchers, evolving into an award-winning brand.
“The steak cuts from heifers only are grazed for at least two years on the finest quality Irish grass, which means that there’s lots of time for a good layer of marbling to build up”, which we all know makes a world of difference in terms of flavour.
Other notable restaurants that made the 101 WBSR list included American Cut Tribeca in third place, and Hawksmoor London, which claimed the number two spot.
The top spot was awarded to Parilla Don Julio in Buenos Aires. The full list can be found here.
