The Winding Stair in Dublin

This restaurant is absolutely excellent! The service is outstanding and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. They made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The traditional Irish food is authentic and delicious. Every dish we tried was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into the cooking. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Irish cuisine served with a smile. We'll definitely be coming back soon!

Highly recommend! Perfectly highlighted the delicious ingredients without the superficial foodie frills. Loved it all.

This place is located in a +100 year old house. Yes the floor is wonky but that makes no difference. Rather it provides authenticity. The restaurant is located above the bookstore and thus the theme is litterature related. Now, for the food - had Doyle's hand-smoked haddock, poached in milk with onions and white Cheddar mash, €32 and it was so good. Its the one dish that has been on the menu for 17 years as people do fancy it that much. I now join that group :) Also had the Homemade gnudi, pine nut pesto, spinach, pea and aged parmesan, €27 and this was also pretty good :) Can 100% recommend this place. Booking is needed as this is a very nice and popular restaurant.

We left very full, slightly buzzed and quite happy. Very good food (we had the lamb + starter & dessert), very good service. Deserves its reputation as one of the more highly recommended fine dining place in Dublin. Don't be deterred by the slightly rickety interieur and the touristy location - The Winding Stair is a good place for a nice dinner.

Good steak with chips in a nice place with good value for money

Unique atmosphere, delicious food!

Excellent restaurant. Food, ambiance and service was incredible. My friend and I were able to get a walk in which we were so appreciative for. The service was attentive and food was delicious! We started with Winding Stair Fish Plate, and I had the Doyle’s seam bream which was cooked to perfection. Please be mindful there several steep flight of stairs to reach the restaurant. We had a wonderful experience at this charming restaurant and reservations are highly recommended.

A real find, directly overlooking the HaPenny Bridge yet not touristy. An airy, informal room with good light from large windows overlooking the Liffey outside. A minus point for slightly woody asparagus past their season, but served with a delicious lemon dressing. Potted crab with chunky treacle bread was good and a thick pork chop, nicely grilled, was served with a delicious salad of spinach, fresh peas and pistachios with pork chop juices and apple sauce. Service is warm and gracious.

Comme son nom l’indique, on accède par des escaliers étroits aux 2 étages du restaurant. Accueil chaleureux, très bons poissons et bon conseil pour le vin. Service rapide et attentionné

We had an excellent meal here when in Dublin. The atmosphere was great and we had good service throughout. Everything was delicious but would recommend the potted crab and the bread and butter pudding.
