The Winding Stair in Dublin

Our final night in Dublin, and managed to get a dinner booking at Winding Stair. What a wonderful experience-perfect orchestration of excellent food, friendly and professional service and a quaint ambiance along the river. Entrees were all great - I had the Duck and thoroughly enjoyed it. My wife’s bleu cheese boxty was equally as tasty and the restaurants (relatively) affordable wine list offered some fun options that paired well with our meals. The restaurant itself is upstairs, and is a tight fit, so if you are looking for something really intimate maybe not the best option, but we had a fun and relaxing evening and will definitely be back on our next go around to Dublin

A wonderful discovery in Dublin! A charming and authentic setting, a small menu featuring fresh and expertly prepared dishes: we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The staff is very pleasant and attentive, right down to the smallest details. A very good wine selection as well: we asked for recommendations to pair with our dishes, and they were perfect. Around €55 per person including wine, dessert, and a digestif, which seemed very reasonable for the quality of the meal and service. A truly excellent restaurant where we had a fantastic time!

Lovely service and delicious food. Enjoyed the steak, which was one of the best steaks I’ve had in a long while, even standing up against many Michelin offerings. Service was attentive and warm, the setting was nice too and very central in location. Would gladly return.

My colleague highly recommended it, and I was lucky enough to get a table even without a reservation. Personally, I think it was the best meal I had in Dublin! 👍🏻

Excellent meal and very friendly

Excellent place! The slow-cooked chicken is just 🤤

The restaurant is located on the first floor of a building, directly across from the Ha'penny Bridge, with a beautiful view of the river (if you request a table along the row of windows). A bit small, the decor is simple and informal, with lovely details. For a starter, I recommend the Scotch egg (also available in a vegan version), very flavorful and surprisingly creamy inside. The lamb is truly succulent, perfectly cooked with a lovely crust on the outside and beautifully paired with crunchy vegetables. If you have room, the dessert is also worth it. The wine list is extensive, with something for all tastes. The service is fast and efficient, perhaps even a bit too efficient at times. The price is in line with the city. Reservations are highly recommended.

Great friendly service. The scotch egg was superb , the wine list was excellent, and the tiramisu cheesecake is a must-try.

Fantastic spot for lunch or dinner with lovely views of the river. Great wine list. The name is appropriate, you have to climb a few flights of stairs to get to the restaurant

Absolutely lovely experience! The steak was incredible as was the wine. We finished it off with tiramisu cheesecake. Everything was delicious and the service was fantastic!
