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. Drink sare local and international craft beers & wines from stellar producers.

Had a delicious meal here. The boneless Coq was delicious. Loved that they were a little crispy. Chicken was cooked perfectly. Filet mignon is a favourite and didn’t disappoint. Cooked perfectly and the side of garlic and Camembert gratin which broccoli and green beans were perfect accompaniment. Was too full for dessert but the other all had mouse, crème brûlée and banoffee and everyone loved theirs. Pornatar Martinis were so good and a glass of Sauvignon blanc really nice too! Perfect way to kick off our Christmas festivities

My family and I went to Wildes Restaurant to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We booked Sunday lunch. The beef striploin was tender and delicious. The staff were attentive and the ambience was great. We received a chocolate fondant as an anniversary surprise. We cannot recommend Wilde’s enough to you for a celebration. We hope to return there again when we next visit Dublin !
