The Woollen Mills

The Woollen Mills is located beside the Ha'penny bridge at the corner of Ormond Quay and Liffey Street. I love the location and the history behind the building - if you check the about section of their website it will tell you that James Joyce worked there!  

Went for lunch with my fiance and the future in laws. Arrived just before one. Managed to get a table for the five of us for just over an hour.

Cosy long seats mixed with seats that wouldn't look out of place in a primary school. The menu is a bit odd. This is a place where you can choose from coddle to pulled pork to tandoori chicken to schnitzel to pork belly mac and cheese all served alongside cocktails and craft beer! I can't take away from the fact that the food is bloody good!

 

I chose the tandoori chicken on sourdough. I ordered it with salad (€10.95) and I'm sure it would have been fab but I was so full after the sandwich I ended up leaving it behind.  

My fiancé chose the sweet potato and quinoa burger (€11).

His little brother chose the tuna burger with sweet potato wedges (€20)- which he very kindly let me try! The pineapple, mango and avocado salsa was amazing and the chipotle mayo went really well with the sweet potato wedges.

 

His parents made a poor choice as they went for the pork shoulder sandwich (Served with soup - €9.95) None of us realised when we placed the order that this wouldn't be out of place across the river in Bison Bar or Pitt Bros (Didn't try the pork though so can't actually tell you if it was anywhere near as good as either spot!)

All told it was OK.. Not sure if I would go back but it is a good spot for lunch.
