🔥 FX Buckley Steakhouse Review
Nestled in Dublin’s culinary heart, FX Buckley (once ranked 6th globally, now #50) remains a carnivore’s temple. Their secret? Grass-fed Irish beef aged 28 days and kissed by fiery charcoal grills. 🔥 Here’s the juicy truth: 🥩 Steak Showdown 🥩 1️⃣ RIB EYE ON THE BONE (€87) 🦴💥 A primal masterpiece! Massive, bone-in, with marbling that melts like butter. Savory, smoky, and deeply satisfying… though the fried onion strings felt like a crunchy afterthought. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 2️⃣ FILLET (€69) 🎯✨ A tenderloin triumph! Perfectly seared, velvety inside, with a gentle chew. Proof that simplicity done right beats gimmicks. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 🍴 Starters & Sides 🍴 🟢 SHORT RIB NUGGETS (€12.5) �🍄 Crispy beef bites on celeriac purée with truffle drizzle – earthy and indulgent. A solid warm-up! 🌟🌟🌟 🔴 BEEF CARPACCIO (€16.5) 🐄🍄 Paper-thin slices with pickled mushrooms and fried marrow balls. Missing the wow factor – where’s the Parmesan? The olive oil whisper? 🌟🌟 🥔 Sides: Beef-dripping fries: Basic AF. 🍟😐 House salad: Fresh but forgettable. 🥗 🧄 Sauces Ranked 🧄 1️⃣ Garlic Butter: Rich, creamy, and unapologetically indulgent. 🧈💣 2️⃣ Bone Marrow Jus: Umami bomb for purists. 🦴💦 3️⃣ Béarnaise: Classic, but play it safe? Nah. 🍋 🍸 Cocktail Corner 🍸 🍑 Peach Blossom: Boozy and bold – for those who like their drinks to fight back. 🥊 🍋 Maverick: Zesty, tangy, and crowd-pleasing. Perfect palate cleanser! 🌟 💰 Verdict: 4/5 ⭐️ Pros: Legendary steaks, impeccable aging, Dublin’s meaty soul. Cons: Overpriced sides, carpaccio needs CPR, ranking drop sus. 😒 📌 Pro Tips: Focus on the steaks – they’re the headliners! Skip the fries; double up on garlic butter.
