The Winding Stair

Very friendly and smart second-floor river-view novelistic place with an open kitchen . Always full of extraordinary people and groups, my favourite place to have fast delicious lunch in Dublin.

A cozy , inviting restaurant with excellent food! The seafood chowder was stuffed with fresh seafood and the cured fish board was heavenly!

Portions are very generous, seafood chowder was good as was the mussels and clams . Partner had the smoked haddock which she loved. Topped off with the rhubarb desert which was a the perfect way to end

Its an awesome place. Very nice food, kind and fast waitresses.I recommend the seafood chowder , the crab tart , also the steak , the lamb and the fantastic scallops with the black pudding .

Amazing food and environment. Sadly, too much stressed waiters that rest charm to the experience. I recommend Marinated seafood delicious starter, 28 days beef as main course and pear-ginger dessert .

Incredibly thoughtful and friendly service . For starters try the crab or the scallops . All the seafood tastes so fresh that I'd definitely recommend picking those over the steaks or duck for mains.

Amazing!! The food, the drinks, the staff , the ambience and the view . So impressed. We highly recommend the mead and ginger spritz, mulled wine , veal starter and mussels , cockles and crab main.

Get the seafood chowder . I was blown away by the flavor and the amount of seafood . Start off with the crab dip and you will be all set. One of the best meals I've had outside the USA.

Solid restaurant with fun lively feel. Fish chowder is very hearty, good to start and can be a meal in itself. Fish is ok, not bad at all but not amazing

The best traditional Irish menu in Dublin plus the best service. Get any of the fish dishes and dress light because it is cozy and hot. Don't forget to ask for a table by the window!!

Crave Irish seafood ? Try the mussels here. They're amazing and comes dipped in chowder . Generous portion size. May seem expensive but being upscale , its worth spending money here!

The mussels were amazing. They come with a taste of chowder , so you need not order the Irish chowder separately. Generous portions , club the mains with a good wine and a dessert to end with!

The best of Irish cooking and ingredients. Nav a window seat . Exceptional seafood , but the meat dishes are equally sublime. Good wine menu . One of my favourite Irish institutions!

The wine and food were excellent. Husband found server to be slightly pretentious and continues to refer to it as the pretentious place. I thought it was wonderful and what a view !

Very good food & wine selection . It was very busy with few staff , so service was patchy but friendly . Had the seafood platter & chips . Excellent. All dishes come in large portions . Be warned!

Impeccable food. The seafood chowder was smokey and full of flavor, the pieces of salmon melted in my mouth. Make reservations because the dining room is tiny and always bustling!

Great place, delicious food! Though not cheap , plus 12.5% automatically goes for service charge.

Delicious Irish slow food. Nice view on the quay and nice service. The lunch course is a very good option (around 28 euros).

Sophisticated, tasty, and a beautiful view of the river . Kinda hip . Very good and affordable wines by the glass. I recommend the seafood specials.

Amazing crab claws ! But if you want to go book ! The whole menu looks and sounds amazing. I think whoever scripts the m&s adds is in on wording the menus.. You just want everything!!!

Cozy ambiance , good service and yummy food, descent prices. Loved the christamas pudding and goat cheese .

must visit!!excellent seafood (try the mussels ),polite staff and great view from the window!!

The pear &gingerbread dessert looked to die for.Didn't have it myself, but my friend did, and I think I'll come back here just to try it! Lovely place, gr8 view and location, good food and nice staff !

One of my favourite restaurants in Dublin. Serves authentic Irish food , and has very good selection of wines .. Will keep going back..

Scallops with blood pudding and potato pancake steals the show, nearly as much as the phenomenal bread and butter pudding . Dublin's best restaurant cannot be beat.

SEAFOOD ! Must order their mussels ! Their brunch menu and lunch menu are served in a different restaurant . Don't ask me why.

Great food and the service was second to none, even around Christmas . Nice relaxed atmosphere as well , really let you enjoy your meal.

Duck was amazing! Atmosphere and place itself were great as well - totally worth recommending!

Went for a super rich brunch , very good quality and with friendly staff . White chocolate and cherry brownie not to be missed

Amazing food in a perfect location. Great wines and great service as well . The perfect choice for my one night in Dublin.

Amazing seafood chowder , must try!! The mussels are very good too! Super friendly staff :)

Best of Irish food . Local producers and a really talented kitchen. You cannot go wrong here. Try get a window seat .

The potted crab as and entre and steamed cockles and mussels as the main, absolutely glorious!

The waiters know their wine well , the food is if excellent quality and they present it well . Try the charcuterie board as a starter.

Irish clam chowder was fantastic and big too!

The steak was amazballz! The salmon was great too, even the bread was noteworthy. The service was excellent - totally recommend!

Seafood chowder app was delicious and the short ribs were on point. Would have asked for more beets with the short rib . Great atmosphere.

Incredible quality of food, one of the nicest places in the Dublin city centre.

Great meat & everyone was happy with their food. Try to get a table by the window to enjoy the view .

Their pre-theatre prix fixe menu is incredible. Short rib , smoked trout , wine : all of it was amazing.

authentic and cozy irish restaurant . I had Seafood chowder & lamb for a great dinner with friends.

Beautiful yummie food at reasonable price. Good selection of wines too.

everything about our experience eating here was fabulous. definitely make a reservation !

I had the two course deal which was 26 euro. Had the snitzel which AMAZING. And the orange marmalade brownie .. Delicious!!!

Sirloin steak was excellent and the fried wing fish together with excellent service makes this a place to visit

Call ahead to get a spot. So worth the wait. Lived every bite of 3 course meal

Whatever I ate was so delicious. Leave yourself day's menu suggestion.

Special Haddock was delicious as where the mussels . Good wine and cool little spot across the river

Good service . Good wine list . Limited seafood selection . If overcooked seafood or fish that has been whipped into something like a mousse , then this place is for you.

Went here for brunch . Had the pouched eggs with smoked salmon wich was excellent! Recommended!
