    Dived into the Woolen Mills for brunch on Sunday last. Initially the soup and a sambo advertised on window caught our attention however it turned out that it was only mon-fri, which was a bit of a bummer and I almost left in disgust there and then.

    However starvation won out and we sat down in the fairly busy room and ordered the pork shoulder sambo each - it was called something uber posh but sodded if I can remember what...

    Not cheap at €12 a pop but pretty delicious. In fact I'm gonna be a bit wankery and call it unctuous. Very damn nice indeed and accompanied by some great baked beans - if I'm being picky/piggy I could've done with a few more of the beans. Add a cup of coffee and brunch for 2 was €30 which is a wee bit pricey but really the food was good.

    I'm tempted to check out the Winding Stair for brunch too (I think they are owned by the same people?) Anyone been?

    I haven't been there myself but my partner has been a few times and praises it. We've been meaning to go actually.

    The Trocadero is one of my favourite restaurants with something to please everyone and amazing service. It's nearby. It has a very old New York goodfella's kind of feel to it. I love it.

    Enjoy!

    @OP - As per the sticky in F&D, if you want a recommendation in a particular locality - please use the relevant Region forum.

    I went to the Pigs Ear for lunch a few months back and thought the food was fab. I wouldn't mind going back there for dinner at some stage. As to restaurants close by there is Dunne and Crescenzi (Italian) on Frederick street, One Pico on Molesworth place is lovely too, probably a bit pricier than the Pigs Ear but food is lovely. If you fancy steak there is Marco Pierres on Dawson street, I've only been there once and thought it was nice.
    There are so many restaurants too chose from in Dublin, it really depends on what kind of food you want.
