“Our ethos is simple. Seasonal local food served with the upmost respect and appreciation for where it came from. We cook from the heart and entirely from scratch in our kitchen at the back. Our suppliers are very close to our core and we know you’ll enjoy their treasure as much as we do.”
Anne & David
Owner/Chef
David has cut his teeth at the helm of many Cork restaurants having started his culinary journey under the mentorship of Michael Flemming some 20 years ago alongside an MTU degree. After sharpening his skills in a variety of kitchens in Cork and some seasons spent in Rhode Island and London his sights were set on having his own space. David's food style is classical clean cooking with a modern refinement. Flavour and seasonality run hand in hand with his providence driven menu. His food reminds diners of their fondest memories while also awakening them to flavours lost. He is constantly creating and has the bar set high for the future of 51 Cornmarket.
Owner/Manager
Anne's attitude to hospitality is that of generosity, personality and warmth. She sees the restaurant as her home to welcome diners in to. Her background in cheffing as well as courses in Ballymaloe and Le Cordon Bleu Cookery Schools, have fine tuned her ethos to that of the importance of locality and seasonality when building a business. Her enthusiastic passion for wine and its production has led to a carefully curated list where diners can expect exciting and knowledgeable choices that have been ethically created to reflect their terroir. Her approach to hosting is that of familiarity, professionalism and detail driven.
Together, Anne and David have set out to create a place fuelled by passion and determined by the countryside it is surrounded by. Their restaurant is bursting at the seams with diners, feeling at home and enjoying what true hospitality is.
