Pilpel - (Near City of London, london)

Jessie Zhang Wow so good! I usually don’t have high hope for food in London. I’m so glad I found this place. Atmosphere is so soothing, warm and welcoming! Food is so good I ordered two fish dish, salmon and octopus. I will come again if I visit. Thank you for feeding me!

Sophie Watson We were staying at the hotel and spent a couple of nights here after we had been to the theatre. The food was nice and the staff were friendly. They have some board games on the shelves and we played a few of those which was a lot of fun and a great touch!

carkn56 Kit (our server) was very welcoming and walked us through the drinks and food options. Food was surprisingly amazing, and the service provided by Kit was exceptional (he kept on checking on us to make sure we were ok). Would recommend for both dining and just drinking and watching a game the game on the telly.

Filipa Peleja The food was very good, super tasty, fresh ingredients and served fast. The staff was attentive and very friendly. It is a good place to have drinks, eat and stay for a bit.

L Barrett Walk-in turkey Christmas dinner and ginger no-jito, all enjoyed in a secluded spot away from more raucous party-goers. Best turkey I have ever had. Delicious vegetables and Yorkshire pud. Friendly and kind staff.

hare super Stopped by CORD on Fleet Street for a weekday lunch and honestly didn’t expect it to be this busy — or this good. I always assumed people around here would just grab a quick sandwich, but the dining room was full of City workers actually taking their time and enjoying a proper meal. The space is beautifully designed. You walk in through a casual café area, then further inside it opens up into a calm, elegant dining room. The open kitchen is a great touch — you can see everything happening, which makes the whole experience feel very transparent and relaxed. Food-wise, everything we ordered was spot on. The A5 Wagyu and bluefin tuna starters were delicate and full of flavour. For mains, the BBQ monkfish was perfectly cooked and the Highland venison en croûte was rich and comforting without being heavy. The peanut soufflé to finish was light, warm and absolutely worth the wait. It’s rare to find a restaurant of this level right in the middle of the City. If you work nearby and want to slow down for once — whether for a long lunch, a business meal or a quiet date — CORD is well worth a visit.
