We are proud to be located in the Old Thompsons Bakery which was once a culinary institution and part of Cork’s DNA since 1826. In fact, the iconic bakery was so popular that it produced a mile of its trademark swissroll every day (in the building’s dedicated swissroll factory) for the people of Munster.
We heard a rumour that back in the sixties, folk nicknamed the bakery “The Glass Curtain” due to its progressive style of glass walling architecture. Whether this is true or just simple hearsay - we loved it, made it ours and hope to keep its legacy alive by creating delicious food that makes people happy.
Our love of flavour and top-class ingredients is shared by the champion farmers, growers, butchers, cheesemakers, fishmongers, brewers and distillers of Cork (and beyond). Respect to them all – they inspired us in the creation of this menu. Their dedication to organic, nutritious, sustainable and seasonal produce has allowed us to create a menu that we are proud of.
With a little inspiration from our exotic travels, all of our food is cooked with grá and some kissed with a little flame. We look forward to lifting the curtain and welcoming you to our home.
