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.

    We had a great dinner at Sole on Monday night. We were greeted at the hostess desk, and they seated us quickly. The service was excellent! We had a terrific server, Pillar, who helped us with the menu, local oysters, etc. She was attentive, very pleasant, and a joy. The restaurant was hopping for a Monday night, and it was handled well. The noise level wasn't overwhelming, and we had a nice conversation with the folks around us. The food was great, and the Dover Sole was off-the-charts terrific! Great experience across the board at Sole!

    A visit to Dublin is not complete without a visit to The Winding Stair. Every experience is stellar. The quality, freshness, and inventiveness of the menu is unmatched. The service is friendly and impeccable. The location is ideal, and the atmosphere is both relaxed and special. I visit Dublin from NYC at least once a year, and a visit to The Winding Stair is an absolutely priority. I can't recommend it enough.
