Within the restored 17th-century Manor House at Castlemartyr Resort, Terre + Castlemartyr represents Ireland's most ambitious culinary achievement—a two-Michelin-starred restaurant that seamlessly weaves French technique with Southeast Asian boldness across an unforgettable three-and-a-half-hour journey.

Founded in September 2022 by Chef Patron Vincent Crepel, Terre achieved the extraordinary feat of earning two Michelin stars within just 18 months—a testament to Crepel's visionary approach honed at the world's finest establishments. The restaurant's zero-waste philosophy and umami-driven cuisine philosophy set new standards for Castlemartyr fine dining, establishing it among the best restaurants Castlemartyr has ever witnessed. Crepel's innovative use of a specialized vertical grill system, incorporating smoke from repurposed Midleton Distillery whiskey barrels, creates signature flavors impossible to replicate elsewhere.

The cuisine at Terre transcends traditional boundaries, showcasing Ireland's exceptional larder through an inventive fusion lens. The seasonal tasting menu features extraordinary creations like Japanese aubergine with amberjack and tomburi, chawanmushi elevated with caviar and Wagyu ham, and A5 Miyazaki Wagyu beef that exemplifies the restaurant's commitment to premium ingredients. Each dish demonstrates Crepel's mastery of umami principles, with superlative sauces that have become the restaurant's calling card. The zero-waste kitchen philosophy transforms every ingredient component into culinary gold, reflecting both environmental consciousness and creative ingenuity that defines modern fine dining excellence.

Dining at Terre unfolds as theatrical performance across three distinct Manor House locations, including an intimate chef's table within the open kitchen. Tableside finishing touches create mesmerizing moments as dishes reach their final form before guests' eyes. The elegant dining room, adorned with bespoke Irish-crafted furniture and ceramics, provides the perfect stage for this culinary theater. Wine pairings focus on small producers whose selections honor each dish's complex flavor profiles, while unique tea pairings offer refreshing interludes throughout the experience. The impeccable service team guides guests through kitchen tours revealing dry-aging chambers and fermentation rooms, creating unprecedented transparency in luxury dining.

Securing Terre reservations requires advance planning for this intimate experience that represents the pinnacle of Irish gastronomy. Whether celebrating special occasions or pursuing culinary excellence, Terre delivers an unparalleled dining experience that justifies its rapid ascent to two-Michelin-starred status, making it essential for discerning gourmands exploring Ireland's finest culinary destinations.
