Charming

The Woollen Mills has been one of the most iconic buildings and businesses in Dublin for over one hundred years, and to have taken over this site is a serious privilege. Much like our award-winning sister restaurant next door, The Winding Stair, we feel like we are custodians of something very special... a piece of history (James Joyce worked here, how unbelievable is that?!) and we must do it proud! Spanning over four floors and with a glorious roof terrace overlooking the River Liffey. The Woollen Mills is quintessentially Irish, local and of its locale. We want it to be an 'Eating House', a house of food, a place to grab a coffee and bun, a plate of Irish fish and chips, a place to score a casual bite befre the nearby theatres and cinemas or sit with seven courses of Irish antipasti, burrata, crab, lamb or cauliflower steak, overlooking the Ha'penny Bridge with a fine bottle of red or a craft beer. We hope we do it well.

Really good service, when I was booking I asked for a ground floor table as we had a buggy with us. When we arrived we were given a table with lots of room for a buggy beside it which was a welcome surprise. Turkey and cranberry sandwiches and soup were really nice and general ambience was lovely. Would definitely recommend.

We were a bit disappointed by this restaurant after seeing so many positive reviews. Our table was opposite the setting sun, and my husband was a bit blinded. Another customer got up to adjust the blinds as they, too, were getting blinded by it. It was a brunch menu, one person ordered the burger and chips and really loved it, another 2 ordered waffles, one with chicken which they enjoyed and another with bacon and poached eggs. However, both said afterwards that the waffles were not hot. I ordered Caesar salad, which had chargrilled chicken, which was a bit tough, and the dressing was pretty bland. My husband had a glass of draught beer, which he liked, but no extra drinks were offered. So a very average experience overall.
