The Glass Curtain in Cork

Best meal in Ireland - hands down.

Dining at The Glass Curtain was truly an unforgettable experience during our Ireland trip. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel both welcome and cared for, with warm hospitality and flawless service. Each course was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor—creative yet comforting, with the kind of attention to detail that makes every bite memorable. The atmosphere was intimate and elegant without being pretentious, which allowed us to fully relax and savor the evening. It was clear why The Glass Curtain has earned its Michelin star- it exceeded every expectation. This meal was a highlight of our trip, and we will absolutely return when we are back in Ireland.

Delicious and filling meal! We started off arriving 30 mins late after a problem with our car, but staff were very accommodating. Settled in to the tasting menu and everything was gorgeous and perfectly cooked. They adjusted nicely when one guest had intolerance to cream. Was expecting to leave hungry after some reviews but was completely full at the end - particularly after the focacia and almond cake. Fish course was particular highlight, lamb dish slightly salty for my taste. Overall would highly recommend - specifically to have tasting menu as dont think would be as worthwhile to have a la carte.

Incredible food from start to finish, steak for 2 was perfect, service was excellent! Great place for a special occasion without being pretentious

Superb meal. One of the best dining experiences I've had. Excellent service. Divine food. Yum!

This is probably one of the top 10 dining experiences we've had anywhere. We were able to pinch in for a bar seat- which may have been the best option. Not only did we have an incredible meal, we had the BEST service from our bartender/waiter, who made bespoke cocktails as well as recommendations for wine pairings. I gave atmosphere a 4 only because the standard tables are pretty small and the restaurant itself got a little noisy with some of the guests having a good time. It's a modern restaurant that way- making the most of a small space. I don't fault them for it b/c I highly recommend the Glass Curtain- I wish I lived closer so I could become a regular!

Amazing food, great service. Highly recommended.

Michelin star quality, without the Michelin star. The best food I’ve probably had in the last decade. Everything had a unique twist to it. It is the BEST food spot in Cork without a doubt

Comimos en el bar y nos alegramos de haberlo hecho. Thomas hizo martinis perfectos y nos proporcionó una excelente recomendación de champán (así como conversación divertida y lo que resultó ser lugar en las recomendaciones para bares de vinos y restaurantes para probar en nuestro viaje a Kinsale. ) Echa un vistazo a nuestras fotos de nuestras opciones de menú y definitivamente comerás con los ojos. Todos los platos eran brillantes y ligeros con perfiles de sabor que funcionaban tan bien. Siempre pido pescado de monje cuando está en el menú y el pescado se asó perfectamente y reafirmó por qué el pescado de monje se considera la langosta del pobre. Una parada obligada para comida digna de Michelin sin ninguna pretensión.

Estábamos en pareja, cenando en el menú degustación (85€ por persona). El ambiente es íntimo y cálido, el personal es amable y atento. El menú consta de 6 platos, todos ellos sabrosos y bien presentados. Sin embargo, hay una falta general de sustento (en particular de carbohidratos) a lo largo de los cursos. Un cliente hambriento puede sentirse no completamente satisfecho al final de la comida, particularmente por los precios pagados. ¡Este hombre fue al lado de Hillbilly's después por una hamburguesa de pollo!
