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.

                                                Three of us ordered the buttermilk chicken waffles and one the burger meal, all from the brunch menu. The chicken was lovely and crispy, smashed avacado and hot sauce delicious! The only criticism I have is the waffles themselves are quite thin. The burger was good, the chips it came with could be a little crispier. Overall a lovely lunch out for Mothers day. The staff were attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was buzzy. Would come back again.

                                                First, and most importantly, the food was great, the atmosphere was beautiful and fun, and the service was charming. However, the place was short-staffed; service took far longer than it should have and many balls were dropped. It was a shame because that one poor aspect colored the whole evening.
