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.

We loved the food and our table in the upper floor with a window view. The only thing to note is the service, not bad but just a bit abrupt. It wouldn't make much different in the overall experience but something we thought could be improved.

Excellent all round. Delicious food. Service is exemplary and perfectly timed. Nothing is rushed and everything arrives just when you are thinking you are ready for it. Lovely wine selection and seafood fresh and perfectly cooked. Not cheap but for this level of quality and service it’s priced accordingly and warranted. Will definitely return.

Lovely welcome on arrival & given a choice of tables. Love the gadget they use to measure a glass of wine 😍 Delighted to have 2 nibbles to start as alternative to big starter because we were having the superb aged beef dish for 2 including sides which was huge 😋Great afternoon
