About the restaurant

Located on the sixth floor of The Mayson Hotel is Ryleigh’s Rooftop Restaurant, with outdoor terrace. Take in the panoramic vista of the Dublin Mountains, the River Liffey, the city centre and even as far as Dun Laoghaire on a clear day! Comfy leather clad booths line the windows. An open kitchen and grill adds a sense of theatre to the room. Floor to ceiling windows make the most of the views and the only walls in the room are clad in beautiful veined marble. Ryleigh’s serves breakfast, lunch, Brunch (Saturdays, Sundays and Bank holidays) and dinner. Ideal spot to grab a bite with family and friends. The dinner menu features tasty options such as Sizzling Prawns and Beef Tartare to start. A selection of Irish steaks for main (Striploin, Delmonico, Centre Cut Fillet, Tomahawk Ribeye for two, and John Stone's T-Bone for two) cooked over our charcoal grill, Pan-Seared Monkfish and delicious desserts such as Raspberry & white chocolate cheesecake and Sticky Toffee Pudding.

About the restaurant

Bovinity; no white tablecloths, no pretension, just fresh, locally sourced food and drinks.

Breaking free from tradition and carving out a space where authenticity reigns and the experience is as real as the flavours on your plate. The menu includes a curated selection of cuts that speak for themselves. Irish, dry-aged beef, the kind of rich, indulgent flavours that demand attention. The cocktails are unique, modern, and made with natural ingredients . The wine list, carefully selected and chosen to compliment every moment.

This is the kind of place where everything is shared—from the steak to those dangerously addictive sides—because, let's face it, that’s what food is all about. Good company, compliments great food. And the vibe? Laid-back, gritty, with a soundtrack that’s as real as it gets. This is Irish hospitality at its finest—warm, buzzing, no-frills, and full of heart.

**Tables of 6+ will be offered a selection of two set menus. Email info@bovinity.ie for info**

About the restaurant

The Winding Stair Bookshop & Café became a famous Dublin landmark in the 1970s and 1980s. Named after the Yeats poem and in honour of its winding staircase, it is overlooking the river Liffey, with an iconic view of the Ha'penny bridge. As a popular meeting place for writers, musicians and artists, it was a well known hub for debate and creativity with many poems written, novels penned and movies shot within its walls. In 2006, Elaine Murphy brought this much-loved spot back to life as a restaurant, championing seasonal, Irish produce. The bookshop, located on the ground floor, was retained, as were many of the old bookshelves, photos and memories. The room retains its timeless charm with stripped wood tables and floors, and Bentwood café chairs.The view remains as quintessentially Dublin as ever.
The food is good, old-fashioned home cooking, with produce sourced from artisans within the island. Drink sare local and international craft beers & wines from stellar producers.

Food and coffees are delish. Service is friendly but a bit slow for some reason this trip - particularly the drinks orders we had to ask a couple times for our order. Still a lovely place and will be back I'm sure
