Best Seasonal Restaurants in Blackfriars

This was a convenient restaurant for us having been to St Paul’s Cathedral for evensong and then needing to get on the Thameslink line later. City Thameslinnk station was just 5 mins from the restaurant . Food was good especially for the main courses. I liked the Breton fish stew and my husband said his steak was excellent. The vegetarians in our party were pleased too with a mushroom cassoulet. Wines were reasonably priced and we had an excellent waitress who managed the many orders. Decor feels a bit dated and the puddings were not as delicious as the descriptions. But overall good value and a nice meal in a buzzy location by St Paul’s.

We had Christmas Dinner there. Likely struggled with staffing but it did feel quite difficult to get the attention of staff working that evening. The food itself was gorgeous - the beef wellington in particular was standout! We will definitely be back.

Always an Impeccable Experience CORD by Le Cordon Bleu never fails to impress us! From the moment we walked in, the service was flawless, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We were fortunate to be seated at the chef’s table, where we had the privilege of watching the impeccably skilled kitchen staff at work—it was like witnessing culinary artistry in motion. The attention to detail in both the food and presentation was outstanding, with every dish showcasing creativity and precision. The flavors were beautifully balanced, and the entire experience felt truly special. We can’t recommend this gem highly enough for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!
