The Happenstance - (Near City of London, South East)

John Downs Dinner for two on a quiet Thursday night. Very good food..the sole exceptional, the cottage pie delicious. The menu had a good mix of interesting dishes..."British" cuisine..in a very good way. Drinks reasonably priced for central London. Very close to Cannon Street station but tucked away off the main road, and below ground. Quirky decor that I found very appealing. Attentive service from staff who know their dishes. Note...not open at weekends...this is in the commercial part of town! Highly recommended for couples, small groups and business meetings (they seemed to have a projector screen discreetly concealed...so maybe good for small group lunchtime meetings).

Laura R Lovely resturant with tons of tasty choices! Everyone thoughtfully plated and delicious! Our server was friendly and the atmosphere chic and festive! Highly recommend!!

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.

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.

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.

Rad Gas Excellent food, authentic and tasty. Very good price point and good service especially for the lunch express menu, perfect for a quick lunch from the office. Best Thai BBQ in london. Cant recommend enough have been there several times, perfect for friends and business dinners. Will be back again and again!!! -R
