Cora Pearl Menu

Cora Pearl occupies a historic townhouse on Henrietta Street in the heart of Covent Garden. The restaurant is named after the nineteenth century courtesan who once lived nearby and later became celebrated in Paris, a story echoed by the theatrical character of the dining room. It is the sister restaurant to Kitty Fisher’s in Mayfair and offers a polished but approachable setting close to the Royal Opera House and several West End theatres.

The kitchen serves modern European bistro food guided by the seasons and the variety of produce available across the British Isles. Current dishes move between small snacks, fresh vegetable plates, cured fish, steak tartare, seafood, pork, lamb and beef, with careful sauces and garnishes providing contrast. The restaurant’s layered chips remain a signature accompaniment, while salads and greens make it easy to shape a complete meal around a chosen main course.

A set menu is available at lunch and during the early pre theatre period, giving diners a concise route through the kitchen when time matters. Sunday lunch has its own rhythm, with roasts, crisp potatoes, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy forming the centre of the experience. Cocktails, wines and playful desserts such as milk and cookies reinforce the balance between refined cooking and the restaurant’s light sense of humour.

Cora Pearl serves lunch and dinner from Monday to Saturday, with Sunday reserved for lunch. The Covent Garden address works equally well for a destination meal, a relaxed Sunday gathering or food before a performance, and private hire is available for special occasions. The complete menu below brings the seasonal dishes, drinks and current prices together so guests can compare the choices before reserving a table.
