Climb the stairs to The Winding Stair, an Irish restaurant above a bookshop with views over the Liffey. Linger over Dingle Bay crab or a pork tenderloin while the Ha'penny Bridge glows outside the window.

Full description

The Winding Stair occupies a first-floor room above a bookshop on Dublin's north quays, looking over the River Liffey towards the Ha'penny Bridge. The cooking is Irish and produce-driven, with reviewers singling out Dingle Bay crab and a pork tenderloin dish, and several diners were pleased enough to book a second visit.

The room is airy and relaxed rather than formal, which suits couples and small groups at lunch or dinner. Prices sit in the mid-range, and booking is recommended.

Plan around 75 minutes at the table, longer if you browse the shop downstairs first.

My cauliflower steak was very good. Wines and drinks options are also…
