The Winding Stair Restaurant
The Winding Stair on Ormond Quay Lower is one of Dublin's most beloved restaurants, serving modern Irish cuisine overlooking the Ha'penny Bridge in a building that has housed a bookshop since 1894 and where Irish writers, sportspeople, and cultural figures have dined for generations. The seasonal menu features the finest Irish produce — Connemara lamb, Carlingford oysters, and soda bread with Kerrygold — making a post-match dinner here the definitive Irish sports travel reward. The riverside setting and the bookshop atmosphere combine for a uniquely Dublin experience.
