"Old meets new at this charming eatery by the Ha’penny Bridge, on the north side of the River Liffey. Set in a four-story, century-old space where James Joyce once worked—albeit, transformed with modern-rustic flair and featuring a heated rooftop—the team behind sister restaurant The Winding Staircase serves homemade baked goods and modern Irish dishes that are as generous as they are flavorful, drawing a crowd of neighborhood regulars and plugged-in tourists. The comfortable vibe makes it an easy pick for casual breakfasts and afternoon tea, while the upscale presentation (and prices) and touches like white tablecloths and fresh flowers take things up a notch at night." - Sandra Ramani
