If you're looking for a serious steak and delicious seafood then there's only one place to head to. Shanahan's occupies a 250-year-old townhouse overlooking Dublin's central park. Founded by an American but using Ireland's best beef and seafood, Shanahan's exudes old-world glamour and sumptuous surroundings that blend Irish and American influences, best seen in the downstairs bar 'The Oval Office'. Shanahan's has been a stalwart of both the best restaurant guides and the national paper's review sections. The steaks are big and regularly touted as the best you can find in Dublin so if it's a hearty, high-end feast you're after then look no further.
