When it was announced in February that Terre Restaurant on Cork’s luxury Castlemartyr estate had been awarded a second coveted Michelin star, Brendan Comerford admits he got a shock.

As the general manager of the estate he has helped drive a €9m investment and refurbishment plan that has given Castlemartyr a long overdue lease of life – not least by creating Terre at the resort’s old Manor House in 2022.
