The Sun­day Times review – Lise Hand

Lise Hand in the The Sun­day Times on 3 Oct 2021 writes:

“Goldie is a bit of a trea­sure. There is a fear­less­ness to Aish­ling Moore, a will­ing­ness to take the plunge afresh every day as the catch dic­tates. The dishes are infused with an exu­ber­ance and imag­i­na­tion, Mid­dle East­ern and east­ern spices and tex­tures woven into local pro­duce grown on the land, caught in the ocean, for­aged on the shore or unearthed at the Eng­lish Market.

Only in busi­ness since 2019 (with a pan­demic in the mid­dle), Goldie is a close-​knit team, clearly immensely proud of their Miche­lin acco­lade — their chef’s first but not, one sus­pects, her last.”

The Miche­lin Guide – Bib Gour­mand award

Bib Gour­mand award, Jan­u­ary 2021

A lively, on-​trend seafood bistro with an open kitchen and a stripped-​back feel; the tight-​knit team offer friendly ser­vice and the feel is relaxed and infor­mal. The daily menu offers well-​priced, mod­ern dishes which use a ‘gill-​to-​fin’ approach, mak­ing use of the whole catch from the smaller day boats.

“… some of the best, most intrigu­ing and dynamic mod­ern Irish food”

View this post on Instagram

For a young chef, Aishling Moore of Cork’s @goldierestaurant is raucously fearless. She will put ling and pollock on her menu as main course fish. She puts gherkin ketchup with roasted beets. Her brandade is so agrestic that it’s like something exported to Cork from the Iberian trade routes back in 1750. People, she serves a dish of crunchy fish spines with her own togarashi as one of the Goldie snacks. Give her a culinary inch, and Ms Moore will push the envelope a culinary mile. The result is some of the best, most intriguing and dynamic modern Irish food. Despite her out-there style, Cork loves Aishling Moore’s food: when she cooked in Elbow Lane you couldn’t get a seat. In Goldie, it’s the same story: get there early, or get your heart crushed by disappointment. And whilst critics tend to compare female chefs to other female chefs, Aishling Moore has no comparison and Goldie shimmers thanks to Cork’s new leading light. #Cork #irelandthebest
