Fresh from retaining two Michelin stars at Terre in his first six months, chef Lewis Barker is introducing a new series of chef collaborations at the restaurant. The new ‘Friends of Terre’ series begins with a good friend of Barker’s, who brings his exquisite Australian-inspired, French technique-rich cooking to east Cork — chef Michael Wilson of Marguerite in Singapore and we are giving one lucky reader the chance to experience it with a table for two to enjoy the nine-course dinner with wine pairing, an overnight stay at Castlemartyr and breakfast the following morning.This first ‘Friends of Terre’ event will take place over two dinner services on Wednesday 17th and Thursday 18th June, with a collaborative menu that will be a 50/50 showcase of both Lewis Barker’s Terre and Michael Wilson’s Marguerite. With two canapés from each kitchen on the menu, the chefs will also cook a starter, main course, a dessert and two petits fours each. Before arriving in Cork in late 2025, Lewis Barker spent a decade in heavyweight kitchens from Europe to Australia and Singapore, becoming the youngest chef in Singapore to win a Michelin star at just 27. It was during his time in Singapore that he met and became friends with Michael Wilson.Wilson, a Melbourne-born chef, worked in significant Australian kitchens with Andrew McConnell and Guy Grossi before moving first to Shanghai, where he opened Phénix, awarded a star after just five months, and then to Singapore, where Marguerite was awarded a star in 2022, eight months after opening. In Terre, Lewis Barker is evolving his own unique experience into something that’s also deeply connected to and reflective of the Irish landscape. In Marguerite, Michael Wilson celebrates provenance and produce while weaving a story of Modern Australian cuisine. Wilson’s Marguerite is set in Singapore’s Flower Dome, the world’s largest glass greenhouse that houses flora from every corner of the globe. Wilson’s creative cuisine is appropriately nature-inspired, following the seasons and in conversation with the natural world around it, where native Australian botanicals are thoughtfully layered to create a refined and elegant expression of Modern Australian cooking.If you’re not lucky enough to win on this occasion, please visit HERE to book or email info@terre.ie for more information.To enter this competition, please fill in the form below.*The winner must be available to stay in the Castlemartyr resort on the 17th June to claim the prize.
