You may not get a tumbler of caviar or truffles sprinkled at will, but you\u2019ll experience the same culinary skill and polished service. With tasting menus for dinner (\u20ac220) and lunch (\u20ac110\/\u20ac145), I applied this mantra and found myself on the N25 heading for Terre, the two-star Michelin restaurant in Castlemartyr Resort, where a new chef, Yorkshire man Lewis Barker, had just been appointed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"indo-ebe0ecc6_root indo-ebe0ecc6_paragraph indo-300db776_none indo-91174671_primary indo-1d70522a_marginbottom0 indo-1d70522a_margintop0 indo-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">Owned by Peng Loh and Dr Stanley Quek, who also have Sheen Falls in Kenmare, Tulfarris in Blessington, and Trinity Townhouse in Dublin, I\u2019d visited Terre on its opening in September 2022. Vincent Crepel was the man to the fore then with Angelo Vagiotis as chef de cuisine. Drowned by beige Nordic Noma-esque influences for the previous decade, I\u2019d particularly liked Crepel\u2019s cuisine, which sang of his native Basque country, his time in Arzak in San Sebastian, and the spices of his years in Singapore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With a new chef in situ and a fab Japanese-influenced menu, dining at this superb Michelin-starred Cork restaurant&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375142,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60,6361,9879],"class_list":["post-375141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-life-magazine","tag-lucinda-osullivan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375141"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375141\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
