Boardwalk is pretty good.... especially if Size matters :pac: :pac:

Those hot plate steaks you can get in Soho and East Villiage are great. Soak the hot plate in garlic butter and cook the steak in small strips. Very very tasty.

Ms Dees is pretty good. I've been there a few times and never had a complaint. Wouldn't rate it with the above though.

Now, if you truly want the steak effect. Have you heard of the The Thady???
It's out in Farren. An experience I'll tell you that.
Old mans pub in the countryside.
Menu: Steak and Chips.
That is all

Oh, you can order a fish if you book 3 days in advance

Seriously though, great steak for good price and atmosphere.

thady is most definitly the best steak ive had in my life
good call

Have to recommend Scotts for a steak at the moment. €20 for fillet, very tasty, and comes with nice chips and onion rings.

Cork Golf Club!

The best steak you'll ever have is in a place called Willie Pa's on the Drimolegue to Bantry road. A bit of a trek I know but SOOOOO worth it!!:D

Here's some photographic proof! A picture of it is enough!

The fillet steak in Rossinis is the most incredible thing I've ever tasted

Had the 8oz sirloin in The Elm Tree last night. Was gorgeous! Cooked to perfection with onions, mushroom & a choice of mash/gratin & veg or chips & salad and peppercorn sauce or garlic butter.

I was actually there myself on Sunday and it was nice and everything but not a patch on what I mentioned above! I would seriously recommend anyone to take a nice Sunday drive down around West Cork and drop into Willie Pa's on the way back - you will not be disappointed!

Headed to Jacques today as got a savage steak there before, closed on Sundays though Went to The Boardwalk, was never there before, great Ribeye there in fairness, very very nice.

Massive steak fan here, 2 best places in Cork at the moment in my little opinion for filllet steak are either Il Primo above the Silver Key, or the Cork Airport International Hotel. The one in the Hotel was a abnormally large until I realised the height of the steak was made up of about an inch of this incredible (And there's no other word) thick mushroom sauce. Looked solid until you put the knife down into it and then it spread out. Mmmmmmmm!

Heading down on Wed night any recent recommendations. Was in the bordwalk last time. It was decent but nothing to write home about. Staying in the Silver springs but will take a taxi but closer the better. Thx

There's nothing of note close to Silver Springs really. The standard of food on the city is incredible these days. Most places are great.

Having done a comprehensive search in December, I felt the fillet in Electric was the best. Market Lane excellent too. Luigi Malones very poor. Isaacs good but nothing spectacular. Amicus ditto. There was somewhere else which I have forgotten in my beefy haze.

Star Anise do a Duo Of Irish Beef - a 6 Oz fillet steak and “Pithivier” of braised beef - had it a few weeks back and it was beyond delicious. Stunning steak - beautifully cooked and seasoned and the beef was really lovely too.

The nicest steaks which I've had in recent times have been in Market Lane and in Star Anise. The Cornstore and Bierhalle are worth honourable mentions but I've been quite disappointed with Isaacs and The Strasbourg Goose.

Oafley Jones

Les Gourmandises. Their roasted fillet of beef is easily the best choice for the discerning carnivore.

Market Lane looks like a winner so going to try that. As I am down on my own with work can I eat in the bar part and don't suppose they had a telly to watch the Liverpool match tomorrow. Is that too much to ask ha ha

Is Thady's in Farren still serving great steak? Had never heard of it until reading this thread but would definitely consider calling in sometime soon

They might have a telly in the kitchen.. There are plenty of pubs near by so you could try to time your meal around the game. I suggest the Old Oak for watching it.

Yes it is. I generally dont get steak when out as its something i like to cook myself so ive never tried the thady. Its only about a 2/3 min drive from me and everyone in the area raves about the place. I never heard a bad word said about it.

Well after all that the idea of the match on a big screen was too much of a draw so sitting in the Soho bar in front of my own HD TV and going to order the 14 oz fillet.

Had a steak in Soho on Tuesday, it was so bad a greyhound wouldnt eat it.

Yes. Cake and chocolate cake. No place better, but it's not in the city.

Well the steak was really good quality asked for rare but was only medium rare.
For the night that was in it did the job.
