The most romantic restaurant in town is once again about to throw open its doors to a host of potential lovebirds as First Dates Ireland makes its return to RTÉ2 for a third series.  In the lead up to the main event, RTÉ Player follows our favourite maitre d’, Mateo as he prepares to play cupid to a group of nervous and not-so-nervous first daters in this short clip available to watch exclusively on RTÉ Player desktop and mobile.  

So, what does the much-loved Maitre D’ get up to on his day off?  Be a fly on the wall as Mateo meanders the streets of Dublin with his beloved dog, Frida; spends hours meticulously musing over what to wear in his favourite suit shop and gets the dinner on for the lady of the house in this short clip available to watch now, only on RTÉ Player.
