$$$$Price: Expensive

• Irish • North City Centre

Booked 38 times today

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.

Had a great experience at Yamamori Izakaya. The atmosphere was lively but still cozy, perfect for a relaxed dinner. The hot stone beef and the ebi dragon roll were the stars of the night—both packed with flavour and really well presented. Our waiter, Greg, was fantastic—super attentive without hovering, and he had great recommendations for both food and drinks that really paid off. He made us feel really looked after, and it definitely added to the whole experience. We’ll definitely be back soon!
