Aishling Moore of Goldie Restaurant to Collaborate with Meeran Manzoor of Rare in Kinsale, For One Night Only, Saturday, October 11th.

Two of Cork’s most acclaimed restaurants — Rare at The Blue Haven in Kinsale and Goldie in Cork city — are joining forces for an exclusive one-night-only collaboration on Saturday, October 11th.
Michelin Guide-recognised chefs Aishling Moore and Meeran Manzoor will come together to create an eight-course tasting menu with a unique seafood focus, designed to showcase the very best of Cork’s coastal waters and outstanding local suppliers.
Goldie, located on Oliver Plunkett Street, is renowned for its “Gill-to-Fin” approach and ever-changing menu reflecting the day’s catch. Rare, meanwhile, has become known for Meeran’s signature blend of South Indian heritage and French culinary techniques, producing hyper-local, ingredient-driven dishes.
“I’ve always admired Aishling’s bold flavours and her gill-to-fin approach to food. At Rare, our menu has a natural focus on seafood, with its own distinctive flavours, shaped by the Tamil Nadu connection. I’m really excited about this collaboration and the chance to cook alongside Aishling in Rare,” said Meeran Manzoor, the Executive Head Chef at Rare at Blue Haven.
Aishling Moore, of Goldie, said, “I’m delighted to collaborate with Meeran and his team and bring Goldie’s Gill-to-Fin ethos to Rare. Cork’s seafood is world-class, and this dinner is about showcasing that in a fresh and exciting way.”
Guests will enjoy an exclusive eight-course tasting menu priced at €125 per person, with optional wine pairings available.
For those wishing to make a weekend of it, accommodation packages are available at both The Blue Haven and Old Bank Townhouse. Packages start from €216 per person sharing, including the tasting menu, overnight stay, and breakfast the following morning.
