Quick info
About Cornus
Cornus occupies the fourth floor of a building in Eccleston Yards, reached by lift, on Eccleston Pl in London. The room is fitted with padded chairs and white tablecloths, giving the space a loft-style, minimalist layout. The kitchen offers a la carte, a tasting menu, and a prix-fixe lunch, drawing from a menu of 15 dishes that includes Roast Scottish Cod. Chef Gary Foulkes runs the kitchen, with a separate pastry chef handling desserts. Groups can book the private dining room for a meal together, and guests bringing their own bottle can make use of corkage. The restaurant opens Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays, with reservations recommended given the compact setting. Meals often begin with a gougère before moving through the wider menu.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently return to the tasting and prix-fixe menus for their seasonal, precisely cooked dishes, with the Roast Scottish Cod and Seabass Tartare with Oyster Cream singled out repeatedly for their freshness and balance, and the Handpicked Devon Crab and Pressed Foie Gras Terrine also drawing praise for their delicacy. Desserts come up again and again as a strength, from the Citrus Pavlova and Chocolate and Hazelnut Mille-Feuille to the Pear Soufflé with Chestnut Ice Cream, alongside opening bites like the gougère and cheese and onion tart. Several diners mention the value of the lunch prix-fixe and reasonable corkage, and describe the room, reached by lift, as bright and airy with friendly, knowledgeable service. One diner, however, found the lobster sauce too salty and reported being repeatedly ignored by staff when asking for help charging a phone, which soured that visit enough to say they'd return to the sister restaurant instead. Most other accounts close on the small touches, like petit fours and mignardises arriving with the bill.

“Finally crossed one off my bucket list 🦞 Tried Cornus and while the ambiance was nice, the lobster sauce was way too salty. Unfortunately, when we asked for help charging our phones, the staff ignored us multiple times, which really killed the whole experience. Will probably stick to their sister restaurant next time.”

“An excellent lunch at Michelin starred Cornus in Victoria, tucked behind The Pottery Studio on Eccleston Place. Chef Gary Foulkes cooking is precise with classical technique creating modern dishes, full of flavour. All beautifully presented, the food here is fantastic. The dining room is bright and full of sunlight, with the service friendly and knowledgeable. At £65 for three courses, snacks, bread and petit fours, this represents great value for such an awesome overall experience. Yet another restaurant to add to the ‘re-visit’ list and another easy recommendation.”

“Amazing experience at Cornus! I had a wonderful time. The sea bass tartar was absolutely outstanding — incredibly fresh and full of flavor. I also enjoyed a really nice English Chardonnay …”

“Tucked inside Eccleston Yards in Belgravia, the sort of place one is unlikely to stumble upon, Cornus derives it's name from the Dogwood plant and recently celebrated it's first anniversary with a Michelin star. A sister Restaurant to Medlar, Chef Gary Foulkes at the helm with Pastries from Chef Kelly Curren, guests ascend a lift to the fourth floor where the room opens bright and airy across a sizable space with padded chairs and white tablecloths. Offered a la carte, tasting or as a bargain £60 lunch prix-fixe even on weekends, top-tier seasonal Produce and Proteins from local purveyors an obvious point of pride, Wine and Cocktails are also fair priced with Champagne well-suited to opening bites like a warm Gougere or delicate Cheese and Onion Tart. Playing R.E.M., Bob Dylan and The Clash at medium volume by day, the service professional but very friendly, it was after a breaded bite of Pork sweetened by Jam that Appetizers pitted a meaty Terrine against velvety Onion Soup with both proving faultless. Well-portioned for the price, mains from the prix-fixe seeing perfectly cooked Monkfish atop a bed of Potatoes crowned by a quenelle of Mussels, guests seeking something more hearty will not be disappointed by tender Berkshire Pork and Pommes Puree with reduced Madeira. Moving on to Curren’s craft, each of three Mignardises and house Focaccia also coming from her station, Prixe-Fixe Desserts are simple yet enjoyable with plenty of nuance while the Pear Soufflé with Chestnut Ice Cream added a la carte is tall, proud and as good as one will find at a Michelin 3* establishment.”
