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.

A lovely experience as always. Really enjoyed my starter and main but the standout was the tuna tartare tartlet snack that had a great punch and depth of flavour. Russell and all the staff made us feel so welcome.

We had the most amazing meal. Food was amazing, Michelin star quality without the price tag. Vibe was perfectly casual but buzzy. Loved being able to people watch from the window. Will recommend to everyone and definitely be back.
