The Winding Stair in Dublin

Our hotel concierge got us a reservation at this restaurant. The food was excellent. Highly recommended. We had the Dingle Bay Crab as a starter which was fantastic, the Pigs on the Green pork tenderloin which was very juicy and delicious and wrapped up with the bread pudding for desert.

First meal in Dublin at The Winding Stair absolutely hit the spot after a long night of traveling. The whipped goat cheese salad was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, while the spicy tomato soup was pure comfort in a bowl. Cozy atmosphere, great service, and an ideal start to our Ireland adventure

Duck breast was lovely, mussels were great. Scotch egg was the star. Great service.

We recently dined at The Winding Stair in Dublin and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was excellent—thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. Every dish felt like it was made with real care and high-quality ingredients. What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling overbearing. They made us feel comfortable and well looked after throughout the meal. The atmosphere added to the experience as well—cosy yet lively, with a great view over the River Liffey. It’s the kind of place that feels special without being pretentious. Overall, a wonderful spot for a memorable meal. We’ll definitely be back.

Excellent place for dinner — mussels were brilliant and excellent wine list

We got a table without a reservation – reservations are a must. The food was delicious and varied. Still based on the original Irish dishes, but with a more refined touch. Good wine selection. Unfortunately, it was very warm in the restaurant, especially in front of the food counter.

Excellent local restaurant. Great location. View of the bridge and canal. Excellent service and delicious food.

We loved the place; the aesthetic was tasteful, simple yet welcoming... with its industrial-era feel. We loved it. Excellent service and very friendly, as is typical of the Irish. The food was very good. A restaurant frequented by tourists, but not for tourists.

A wonderful discovery in Dublin ✨ A unique and charming place – you don't see that everywhere! The food was delicious and the service was friendly. We had a fantastic time, I highly recommend it ☘️

fish was a little on the salty side but other than that everything else was good! drinks entrées and mains were all well done! the restaurant itself is really cute as well.
