The Glass Curtain in Cork

Delicious food, pricey but well worth it. Squid ragu was a highlight.

One of the best restaurants with great food and wine in Cork. The restaurant offers boutique style fine dining experience. You have the option to do their tasting menu. The food, specialty the oyster, the lamb are memorable. The oyster is fresh, with the shaved ice, it adds an additional layer to it. The lamb is tender like a fish, yet with the crunchy crispy skin, with a bit for chard. The service is excellent, the staff are caring and friendly. Definitely need to make reservation ahead of time.

The Glass Curtain is my top choice in Cork City for a memorable dining experience. The staff are consistently attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the food they serve, which always impresses. While it’s not the cheapest option, I feel The Glass Curtain delivers exceptional value, with dishes crafted from primarily local ingredients. Every meal here is a delight, making it well worth the visit!

Literally one of the top dining experiences we've had. We each did a tasting menu- each course was unique but not weird- offering an update on traditional bites in all the ways you want. We snagged bar seat reservations and had such a wonderful guide through Tom, our server/bartender. Not only did he create bespoke cocktails, he made excellent whisky suggestions to pair with our dessert. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this restaurant and our experience. As we have become a bit weary as travelers feeling more and more like tourists as we fall into the inevitable "traps" this place felt like home. Upscale but not pretentious, welcoming and friendly while still being low key. Loved it- wish this place were in my neighborhood in Cambridge. Highly recommend!

Tasting menu was excellent. Amazing combinations and very well prepared. So happy with this choice.

My wife and I went to Glass Curtain on our most recent trip to Ireland. It was one of three upscale dinners we had on the trip, and this one was my favorite. We sat at the bar and I think it wound up being for the better, despite at first seeming a bit cramped. We ordered the tasting menu + cheese course + desert and it was paced nicely. We didn't do the wine pairing, but the bartender was extremely helpful pairing our drink orders with the food. I thought the food was good, creative, and diverse. It's a meal I will remember amongst the finest I've had in Europe. Hope I can return someday and try the new menu!

Wow, I don't know what to say. This was an amazing experience. The staff are super friendly and provide top notch service. We chose to order a la carte with the beetroot starter being a phenomenal experience and easily the best dish we had, the lamb and veal are also strong contenders with incredible garnishing. Easily a 5/5 experience all round.

Chef was enthusiastic. Food was innovative and mostly good, although sometimes through the tasting menu it was a bit too intense. Well presented. Plenty of variety. Small portions in the tasting menu. Disappointed that the cheese board had only one basic cheese.

One of the best meals my wife and I have ever had. Incredible!

Went here to celebrate my birthday following recommendation from friends. We had the 1kg Steak to share which was absolutely delicious. Well worth the price for that special occasion
