The Glass Curtain x Leo's London - Tasting Menu Collaboration
At The Glass Curtain · MacCurtain Street, Cork City, Co. Cork
At The Glass Curtain · MacCurtain Street, Cork City, Co. Cork
For one evening during Cork on a Fork Fest 2026, two restaurants from different cities sit down at the same table. The Glass Curtain - a Michelin-listed room on MacCurtain Street known for its seasonal, locally sourced cooking - teams up with Leo’s London, a celebrated Italian-influenced restaurant from Clapton with roots in Sardinian cookery. The result is a multi-course tasting menu that neither kitchen would produce alone. This is the kind of event serious food lovers plan trips around: a one-off, never to be repeated in quite this form.
The evening centres on an Italian-inspired tasting menu built around the shared culinary sensibility of both kitchens. The Glass Curtain has built its reputation on working closely with Cork’s best local suppliers and letting the seasons shape every dish. Leo’s London brings a Mediterranean influence - wood-fired cooking and pasta rooted in Sardinian tradition - that sharpens the collaboration into something with a clear identity rather than a greatest-hits mash-up. The menu runs multiple courses, and optional wine pairings are available if you want the full experience. Seats are limited; this will sell out. Tickets go through corkonaforkfest.ie, and early booking is strongly advised given the demand for headline events at the festival.
Cork City is straightforward to reach from most of Ireland. From Dublin, the train from Heuston takes just over two hours to Cork Kent Station, which is a ten-minute walk from The Glass Curtain along MacCurtain Street. Bus Eireann and Aircoach also run frequent services from Dublin. By road, Cork sits on the M8 from Dublin and is well signed from every direction. Parking in the city centre is available at multi-storeys on Lavitt’s Quay and at the Parnell Place car park, both within easy walking distance of MacCurtain Street.
MacCurtain Street itself has become one of the more interesting strips in the city for food and drink, and Cork City rewards a day’s exploration before a dinner like this - the English Market, the riverfront, and the cultural quarter around Fitzgerald’s Park are all worth your time. There is more to see in Cork and across Co. Cork.
