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.

The food was very delicious, the staff recommended us a wine to pair with the food. The food was brought to us very fast. We would have loved it to have some more time between it but no deal breaker. Highly recommended

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.
