Cora Pearl

Situated in the heart of Covent Garden, Kitty Fisher's sister Cora Pearl beckons with a tasteful, green-hued townhouse interior and an elevated take on comforting British cuisine. With special attention paid to pre-theatre dining, the elegant restaurant is a favourite among theatregoers as well.

British dishes such as Devon lamb cutlets or wild sea bass get refined updates at Cora Pearl, with proven European techniques and recipes used to take classic comfort food to another level – courgette flower, goat's curd, and mojo verde accompanying the sea bass, for example. The menu changes regularly, keeping meals exciting even for regulars, and the food is complemented by house cocktails expertly mixed at the marble bar or a selection of fine European wines.

With its convenient theatreland location and space for intimate couples' outings and bigger get-togethers alike, Cora Pearl also devotes a significant amount of attention to pre-theatre dining. Not only can guests enjoy two or three courses of fashionable cooking and quick service – the restaurant will even check which show you're going to beforehand in order to make sure you don't miss curtain up. 

The weekly Sunday lunch is another chapter in Cora Pearl's story of excellence, with indulgent appetisers like cod's roe or scallops thermidor setting the stage for a full-on roast dinner, served with all the trimmings.

Regardless of the occasion, you can rely on Cora Pearl to serve you a meal you won't be forgetting in a hurry.
