It’s an incredible achievement. 

Terre at Castlemartyr Resort has entered The Michelin Guide with one star, just six short months after opening.

The pride of Cork’s five-star Castlemartyr Resort is one of two Leeside restaurants celebrating tonight, with Ahmet Dede’s restaurant Dede At The Customs House in Baltimore scooping a second coveted star.

Twenty new stars were announced in the Michelin guide for Britain and Ireland, announced this evening.

A ‘stunning and early reward’

Opened last September by chef patron, Vincent Crepel, Terre is a 38-seater restaurant in the 17th-century Manor House of Castlemartyr Resort and Crepel’s first restaurant in Ireland.

Starting his career in France, Crepel subsequently worked in several renowned international restaurants from the three-Michelin-star Arzak in San Sebastian, Spain, and Restaurant Andre in Singapore, to the historic Restaurant Hôtel de Ville Crissier in Switzerland.

“Gaining one star after such a brief period of time is a source of immense pride to me and my team at Terre,” he said.

“It has taken a lot of hard work to get to this level so quickly. It is a stunning and early reward for achieving our goals for Terre.”
