🇬🇧 CORD by Le Cordon Bleu: London’s Best-Kept Culinary Secret 🎩✨
As Le Cordon Bleu’s first-ever restaurant, CORD is where Michelin-level technique meets shockingly fair prices (£125 for 7 courses + champagne?!). Followed my chef-trainee friend here—now I’m a believer. 🍽️ Summer Tasting Menu Highlights: 🥖 Bread Service – Warm, crackly, with mushroom butter so lush, we licked the ramekin. 🌸 Amuse-Bouche Trio – Tuna tartare, beef consommé pearls, and caviar—eat in this exact order. 🐟 Grilled Monkfish – Gym-rat firm yet buttery, with avocado-wasabi mash. 🍖 Saltmarsh Lamb – Pink, silky, zero gaminess—plated like a Dutch still life. 🥭 Mango-Passionfruit Rose – A tart floral cloud with lemongrass drizzle. 📍 85 Fleet St, EC4Y 1AE ⏳ 5:30-8:45pm (Book ahead—chefs-in-training need fans!). Hot Take: Their off-menu soufflé (whisper "I trust the chef") is life-altering. Would you brave bluefin tuna from student chefs? 🐟👨🍳 Sound off! #LondonEats #CORDLondon #LeCordonBleu #HiddenGemsLondon #FineDining #DateNightLondon
