                                  Great service, never a problem for the staff , good fresh tasty food. The deserts still need work to match the other courses As with all restaurants in Dublin, it’s getting expensive. But, we love the place. SGM

                                  A really enjoyable meal in the Washerwoman on a Friday evening. We were very comfortable at our table, lighting was good, and the food delicious. The fish and chips was particularly good. The staff were excellent, friendly and professional. It all contributed to a lovely relaxed atmosphere and we look forward to returning.

                                  The Washerwoman is on Glasnevin Hill (called locally Washerwoman's Hill due to the local story of many washerwomen out on the hill with their mangles etc washing clothes in the Tolka river!). It's been a well-loved and treasured restaurant in the area for years now, and is housed in a charming stone cottage which dates in part from 1700. We are at the bus line 83 and 83A, Met Eireann, stop 182 and 153.

We are working with some of our favourite craft butchers to create our own aging room and source some amazing salt-aged meats.
