CORD by Le Cordon Bleu is a fine dining restaurant at 85 Fleet Street in the City of London. Located within a Grade II listed building designed by Edwin Lutyens, it combines an elegant dining room with a café, private rooms and a culinary education space. Polished but discreet service makes the restaurant well suited to business lunches, special dinners and intimate celebrations.
The kitchen applies classical Le Cordon Bleu technique to seasonal produce sourced from around the British Isles. Starters can include wild mushroom parfait with consommé and plum, lobster raviolo with saffron and bouillabaisse, scallop tartare with caviar or a slow poached hen’s egg with truffle and sweetcorn. Careful sauces and precise presentation allow each principal ingredient to remain clear.
Main courses move between fish, meat, pasta and vegetables. Cornish turbot, barbecue monkfish, Norfolk chicken and salt marsh lamb are paired with carefully judged seasonal garnishes, while truffle pasta and cauliflower with gnocchi provide substantial alternatives. An à la carte menu sits alongside business set menus and tasting experiences, including a dedicated vegetarian tasting menu.
Desserts continue the refined approach through combinations such as strawberry with yoghurt and basil, pistachio with dark chocolate and cherry, or coconut with pineapple, mango and lime. Wine pairings and a thoughtfully assembled bottle list support both short and extended menus. With private dining, weekday service and a café for breakfast and lunch, CORD presents several expressions of Le Cordon Bleu hospitality under one roof.
