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.

This is one of the best meals I have had in a very long time. The food was excellent, fantastic choices and flavours that were out of this world. Beautiful rich tastes, every bite layered. A party for the taste buds. As a coeliac I have been extremely disappointed with the restaurant experiences in Dublin, but I think I just found my favourite restaurant last night. The service was brilliant, this was a birthday dinner and we were treated to a free glass of Prosecco on arrival and a mini birthday cake with candle at the end of the meal. The staff was friendly, informative and we were never left waiting. I will be coming back for years to come!

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!
