  “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.”

  “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.”

  “Dining at Cornus was an unforgettable journey of elegance, seasonality, and precision. From the opening amuse-bouches to the final dessert, every course reflected a deep respect for produce and a thoughtful approach to flavor. The meal began with playful and beautifully presented bites that set the tone: delicate textures, earthy aromas, and an immediate sense of craftsmanship. The Seabass Tartare with Oyster Cream, Green Apple and Shiso was a masterclass in balance—clean, oceanic freshness lifted by bright acidity and herbaceous notes. The Handpicked Devon Crab followed with incredible delicacy, enriched by the creamy Hass avocado and punctuated with subtle heat from wasabi and the citrus snap of finger lime pearls. The Pressed Foie Gras Terrine was silky and harmonious, gently paired with Mouneyrac pears and golden raisins, then elevated further with a refined Sauternes sweetness. Served with toasted brioche, the dish achieved a perfect equilibrium of richness and lightness. As the menu progressed, flavors deepened beautifully. The Roast Scottish Cod was cooked to perfection—flaky, moist, and shimmering with a golden crust. The accompanying elements—grelot onions, pot-caught cuttlefish, crisp potatoes, and Alsace bacon—brought a savory complexity that felt both modern and deeply comforting. The Roast Highland Venison was a highlight: tender, deeply flavored, and paired with glazed chicory, sour beetroot, celeriac, and Madagascan pepper. Each component enhanced the dish without overpowering it, creating a sense of rustic refinement. Desserts were whimsical and elegant. The Plum, Sake and Vanilla Sandwich was a refreshing, subtle bridge between savory and sweet, while the Citrus Pavlova showcased remarkable finesse, brightened by lemon verbena and Greek basil. The finale, Chocolate and Hazelnut Mille-Feuille, was pure indulgence—layers of buttery pastry wrapped around velvet chocolate, softened with banana milk ice cream and enriched by warm chocolate sauce. The cocktails and juices complemented the cuisine beautifully. Summer Italy and Imperial Fizz added fragrance and lightness, while the Pan Apples Juice was crisp and naturally sweet, enhancing the overall harmony of the tasting menu. Cornus is not simply a restaurant, but a celebration of thoughtful cooking, seasonal expression, and graceful hospitality. Each plate tells a story, and every detail—presentation, flavor, pace—feels intentionally composed. It is a dining experience that lingers long after the last bite.”
