Surf and Turf in Dublin: Steak, Prawns and Lobster Restaurants
Six Dublin steakhouses currently run a surf and turf: most pair steak with prawns, one with lobster.
Written by Steakhouse Dublin
“Surf and turf” sounds like it should mean steak and lobster, but on most Dublin menus it means steak and prawns. We checked all 22 steakhouses we track against their own current menus, not marketing copy or aggregator listings, and found six with a specifically named surf and turf or steak and lobster dish. Only one of them puts actual lobster on the plate.
Below are all six, with what’s actually in the dish and what it costs. For the difference between the term and the reality, see our guide to what surf and turf actually means.

“Surf & Turf”: fillet steak with josper-grilled prawns. Lobster thermidor is on the menu too, but served as its own course, not paired with the steak.

Prices and menus change, so it’s worth checking each restaurant’s own page before booking specifically for the dish.
