Matt The Thresher in Dublin

Nice spot to have some of the seafood for which Dublin is famous. Ordered an open-faced sandwich of prawns and salmon on dense dark bread--very nice; came with a side salad. This is definitely a spendy spot; oysters are twice the price at which I normally find them in the PNW. It's housed in a beautiful old building, but this of course means that there is no climate control -- you'll be as humid inside as you are outside. Otherwise, a nice spot for quality food.

Food was better than average..we would recommend the oysters..

Lovely restaurant. Three smells were the thing that hit me as we arrived! Food was excellent, great service!

Incredible seafood restaurant. Had an incredible platter. Couldn’t recommend it more! Lovely staff, great location and perfect food.

Excellent food, service and ambience.

Matt The Thrasher was recommended to use by several reliable friends. We made a resv for 6:30 on a Friday, so early-ish and the restaurant was nearly empty. The service was ok, somewhat perfunctory and not at all warm - we felt we were an annoyance. Food was unremarkable though the portions were sensible. Few to no distinct or welcoming touches. The experience was underwhelming and bland, the price far exceeded the value. I have the sense the place is past its prime.

Good food but a bit noisy for us.

We really enjoyed the food at Matt The Thresher! There are more bottles of Jamason than the US will see for the foreseeable future! The bar is beautiful with great wine selections. We enjoyed muscles, linguini, and fish entrees. For a private party of 4 to 8, try eating in the library. Try Matt The Thresher, you will not be disappointed!

Volví a llamar a Matts y nunca decepciona. Tenía la ensalada de langostinos y cangrejos que estaba absolutamente delicioso. Esta no era una ensalada normal, estaba más allá. Gran elogio al personal de la cocina. El restaurante estaba lleno a pesar de que era bastante temprano en la noche, la comida de la cocina nunca se desaceleró o perdió su calidad. Recomiendo encarecidamente visitar y volveré pronto de nuevo.

A stunning seafood restaurant slightly further out of the centre. I really struggled to find a good restaurant in the centre of the city. This one I seen recommended over Instagram. I love a seafood restaurant so it was the perfect restaurant to celebrate a birthday on holiday. We really enjoyed my meal however found it was pretty pricey for what was offered. We compared it to the likes of Cadiz or Dulce in Edinburgh however you didn’t get the extra service which you’re paying for in these places. The food was tasty however.
