The Winding Stair Bookshop & Café became a famous Dublin landmark in the 1970s and 1980s. Named after the Yeats poem and in honour of its winding staircase, it is overlooking the river Liffey, with an iconic view of the Ha'penny bridge. As a popular meeting place for writers, musicians and artists, it was a well known hub for debate and creativity with many poems written, novels penned and movies shot within its walls. In 2006, Elaine Murphy brought this much-loved spot back to life as a restaurant, championing seasonal, Irish produce. The bookshop, located on the ground floor, was retained, as were many of the old bookshelves, photos and memories. The room retains its timeless charm with stripped wood tables and floors, and Bentwood café chairs.The view remains as quintessentially Dublin as ever.The food is good, old-fashioned home cooking, with produce sourced from artisans within the island. Drink sare local and international craft beers & wines from stellar producers.

Best restaurant I have been to so far in Ireland. I had booked the terrace for the nice views. Spectacular views especially during the evening. Was a bit too chilly even with the heating provided. However we were provided with blankets to cover up. The service was exceptional, food came fast, tasted good as well. Just the steak wasn’t hot enough but still tasted good. A bit costly but I would say worth the experience.

Splendid solo dinner here on Saturday night before the theatre. Every single thing delicious especially the hibiscus basted lamb. If I had a criticism it would only be that the millefeuille wasn’t very sweet but really lovely in all other respect. Already booked to return. Attentive and thoughtful staff made sure I was comfortable and well looked after.

We had a wonderful meal here on a very damp cold Dublin night. Dishes were very tasty. Huge wine selection. No draught beers but lots of choice in bottles. A little pricey but not vastly dissimilar from more commercial restaurants, with a significantly higher quality. Staff were professional and attentive. A lovely evening all round!
