Two-Michelin starred Terre introduces new ‘Friends of Terre’ series, with first guest chef Michael Wilson of starred Marguerite in Singapore

Fresh from retaining two Michelin stars at Terre in his first six months, chef Lewis Barker is introducing a new series of chef collaborations at the restaurant. The new ‘Friends of Terre’ series begins with a good friend of Barker’s, who brings his exquisite Australian-inspired, French technique-rich cooking to east Cork — chef Michael Wilson of Marguerite in Singapore. 

This first ‘Friends of Terre’ event will take place over two dinner services on Wednesday 17th and Thursday 18th June, with a collaborative menu that will be a 50/50 showcase of both Lewis Barker’s Terre and Michael Wilson’s Marguerite. With two canapés from each kitchen on the menu, the chefs will also cook a starter, main course, a dessert and two petits fours each. 

Michael Wilson

Before arriving in Cork in late 2025, Lewis Barker spent a decade in heavyweight kitchens from Europe to Australia and Singapore, becoming the youngest chef in Singapore to win a Michelin star at just 27. It was during his time in Singapore that he met and became friends with Michael Wilson.

Wilson, a Melbourne-born chef, worked in significant Australian kitchens with Andrew McConnell and Guy Grossi before moving first to Shanghai, where he opened Phénix, awarded a star after just five months, and then to Singapore, where Marguerite was awarded a star in 2022, eight months after opening.   

These two dynamic and talented chefs share a global experience, an approach founded in technical precision and technique, and an appreciation of the seasons, as well as creating graceful food with both complex storytelling and bold flavours.

In Terre, Lewis Barker is evolving his own unique experience into something that’s also deeply connected to and reflective of the Irish landscape. In Marguerite, Michael Wilson celebrates provenance and produce while weaving a story of Modern Australian cuisine. 

Wilson’s Marguerite is set in Singapore’s Flower Dome, the world’s largest glass greenhouse that houses flora from every corner of the globe. Wilson’s creative cuisine is appropriately nature-inspired, following the seasons and in conversation with the natural world around it, where native Australian botanicals are thoughtfully layered to create a refined and elegant expression of Modern Australian cooking.

A dinner of craft and camaraderie, the Terre x Marguerite dinners by Lewis Barker and Michael Wilson are at Terre in Castlemartyr Resort on Wednesday 17th and Thursday 18th June, with the nine-course menu available each night for €220 excluding wine pairing
