Overview

Almost a heritage site now, The Winding Stair has not succumbed to the huge changes Dublin has witnessed over the last ten years. It's really a huge bookshop on three floors that also provides the setting for a cafe/restaurant serving wholesome and hearty vegetarian food. Try to get a window seat for the wonderful views over the river Liffey. Literary bargains are to be found everywhere, with cheap paperbacks and discounted prices on many of the books. The restaurant is open Monday to Sunday from 12:30p to 3:30p for lunch. For dinner it's open Monday to Saturday 6p to 10:30p and on Sundays from 6p to 9:30p.
