The Butcher Grill Hosts The Beef World Cup

In 2016, Ranelagh will be the scene of a different kind of culinary World Cup. On the first Wednesday of the month, The Butcher Grill will be hosting a monthly series of very special, one-of-a-kind beef tastings. Head Chef Atish Bhuruth has pitted select countries with their different breeds, climates, feeding and farming methods against each other. And guess who is the judge? You!

Of course, the goal is not to prove one beef, breed or country better than another, but to compare and contrast the flavours and characteristics of the final product. We want to educate and learn by creating a dialogue and providing aplatform for steak enthusiasts to experience some of the best beef from around the world. Most importantly, have fun and eat great steak!

The evening will consist of a full meal with starters, sides and desserts. The Main courses will consist of cuts of both choices of beef, and a reception drink and glass of selected red or white wine are included with meal. Tickets are €69 per person and the event begins at 7pm.

The first three rounds are scheduled as follows:
