Between the intense kitchen practical’s, the relentless prep work, and the constant push for perfection, it’s easy to forget to step back and just enjoy the magic of great food. CORD on Fleet Street is built to be your sanctuary, a space where you can hang up your apron, sit back, and remember exactly why you fell in love with this craft in the first place.
Our current menu brings together a beautiful mix of our timeless signature dishes and seasonal highlights that tell a real story on the plate. You can see it in the flawless pasta laminating and emulsion extraction of our Native Lobster Raviolo with fennel, saffron, and bouillabaisse. There is the masterful balance of acidity and smoke in the BBQ Monkfish paired with grilled avocado, lime, and Tosazu vinegar. Or, for the ultimate lesson in precision heat control and premium sourcing, you can gather a few classmates to share the 600g BBQ Australian Wagyu Ribeye over a bottle of wine.
