London’s £125 Le Cordon Bleu Summer Tasting Menu
🇫🇷 Le Cordon Bleu’s London restaurant, CORD, has launched a brand-new Summer Tasting Menu, and it’s absolutely divine! The ambiance is exquisite, the dishes are of exceptional quality, and even the bread basket is a showstopper. 🍞✨ Nestled in a Grade II-listed Lutyens-designed building on Fleet Street, this flagship restaurant by the legendary French culinary institute is more than just a dining spot—it’s a masterclass in fine French cuisine. With its soaring ceilings, open kitchen, and immaculate culinary workflow, every meal here feels like a high-stakes exam (in the best way possible). After all, this is where Le Cordon Bleu students train and get tested—so calling it “textbook-perfect French dining” is no exaggeration. 👨🍳📚 We tried the SUMMER TASTING MENU (£125), and it was a flawless experience from start to finish: 🍞 Bread Basket Le Cordon Bleu’s baking mastery shines here—a generous basket of warm, fragrant bread that sets the tone for the meal. Carb lovers, rejoice! 🥖🔥 Starters 🍤 Canapé – Amuse-Bouche A bite-sized delight that awakens the palate—subtle yet impactful. The perfect opening act! 🐟 Otoro Blue Fin Tuna This aged tuna with a sweet glaze is as tender as beef, balancing sweet and savory like only the French can. Paired with rich beef consommé, tangy tamarind, and luxurious caviar, it’s a symphony of flavors. 🎻💫 Mains 🐠 Monkfish BBQ Cooked to perfection—firm yet buttery, with creamy avocado, sweet date syrup, and aromatic basil. Each bite is a journey. 🌿🍯 🐑 Salt Marsh Lamb Rack Sous-vide to a perfect pink, with a sauce that complements without overpowering. Served with spring asparagus, crunchy pistachios, fresh mint, and briny olives—elevated comfort food. 🫒🌱 Desserts 🍸 Gin & Tonic Sorbet A refreshing palate cleanser that resets your taste buds—like a mini spa for your mouth. 🍨 Mango-Passionfruit Mousse Ice Cream A bright, tangy-sweet finale that feels light yet satisfying. And just when you think it’s over… 🍰 Freshly Baked Madeleines Warm, buttery, and just the right amount of sweet—the perfect farewell. Currently, the Summer Tasting Menu is only £125, including a glass of Champagne! 🥂✨ Dinner service runs from 5:30 PM to 8:45 PM—reservations are a must! 📍 CORD by Le Cordon Bleu 85 Fleet St, London EC4Y 1AE #LeCordonBleuLondon #LondonFoodie #LeCordonBleu #FrenchCuisine #LondonEats #CORD #lecordonbleu #CulinaryExcellence #UKFood #LondonLife #LondonRestaurants #FineDiningUK #FrenchGastronomy #LondonFineDining
