FIRE Steakhouse & Bar

You're dining in one of Dublin's most distinguished addresses when you settle into FIRE, housed within the Lord Mayor's official residence on Dawson Street. The Georgian grandeur provides a suitably impressive backdrop for what's arguably the city centre's most serious approach to steak, with prime cuts cooked over flames and an extensive wine list that doesn't mess about. The setting alone justifies the €€€ price point – those high ceilings and period features make every meal feel like an occasion. But it's the quality of the beef and the precision of the cooking that keeps this place packed with everyone from visiting executives to locals celebrating anniversaries. The cocktail program is properly executed too, making it worth arriving early for a drink before your table's ready.
