The Celt in Dublin

19/08/2026: We had a fantastic meal at Matt the Thresher in Dublin and were really impressed with both the food and the atmosphere. We started with the crab doughnuts, which were absolutely amazing and a perfect starter to share. For the main course, I had the cod special, which was outstanding — beautifully cooked and full of flavour. The restaurant itself is fantastic, and the service was exceptional throughout the meal. The staff were attentive, friendly and made the whole experience very enjoyable. There were just a couple of small details that I felt let an otherwise excellent experience down. Our cutlery wasn’t changed between courses, and the butter served with the complimentary bread was in individual cash-and-carry-style portions. I appreciate these are very minor points, but at a restaurant of this standard, those little touches do matter. Overall, though, a superb meal and a restaurant I would definitely recommend. The food and service were excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
