Restaurant review: The Glass Curtain is probably the best restaurant of its type in Cork city

Brian Murray’s Glass Curtain restaurant was a hot ticket in town within weeks of its December 2019 opening, but for all his extensive experience as a chef, he was a debutant restaurateur and it seemed only fair to afford him a month or two to bed in. The Covid thought otherwise.

Almost two years have passed, during which time I tasted one of Murray’s dishes — as judge at a cooking competition, weeks before first lockdown; and then reviewed TGC’s smashing finish-at-home meal kit, and Murray’s excellent street food stall, Birdsong in the City, a Basque-style grill I sincerely hope will be resurrected next year.
