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

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
