COR is a family run neighbourhood restaurant at 81 North Street in Bedminster. The bright, informal dining room combines counter seating with a sociable atmosphere, giving guests a place for a quick plate and a glass of wine or a longer lunch or dinner built around sharing.
The kitchen specialises in modern small plates with a strong Mediterranean influence. Seasonal vegetables, seafood, cured meats and carefully chosen cheeses appear in combinations designed to bring several tastes to the table, with the compact format allowing each ingredient and sauce to retain its own character.
Dishes change as ingredients move through the seasons, but the cooking draws on the flavours of southern Europe and the rhythm of tapas style dining. A table might progress from snacks and lighter vegetable plates to richer meat or fish dishes before finishing with a simple dessert such as crème caramel.
Wine is an important part of the experience, selected to work naturally with the restaurant’s varied plates and shared style of eating. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should discuss the current menu with the team before ordering because the changing recipes and shared kitchen may involve dairy, gluten, nuts, fish and other allergens.
Address: 81 North Street, Bedminster, Bristol BS3 1ES, England
