Best Restaurants for Groups in Victoria

Excellent pls e. Fast service. Convenient place as well. Well done

Another excellent lunch at Cornus. I was tempted by the excellent value set lunch menu at £55 for 3 courses but succumbed to the full 7 course tasting menu at £165, which included of course the usual selection of canapés, delicious sourdough bread and focaccia, and petit fours. Top quality ingredients, highly skilled cooking and beautiful presentation. Highlights included red mullet with a salsa verde; cod with girolles, squid and crispy potatoes; roast pigeon with a chestnut purée. Service was excellent throughout from the whole team, with particular thanks to the incomparable sommelier Melania and joint owner David. The wine list is extensive and keenly priced by London standards but BYO is extremely popular and with corkage at lunch of £20 an absolute bargain. The total bill for this solo diner was £235, including a glass of champagne, corkage and service charge. I think that is tremendous value for money. Overall at least 17/20 and one of the best restaurants in London for classic cooking with lots of technique and top quality ingredients. The only problem is that now I’m torn between long-established sister restaurant Medlar and newcomer Cornus for a neighbourhood lunch. Ah well, life is tough.

Good vibes, but a lot of white noise, so hard to hear each other.

Friendly, kind staff, food is fresh & tasty. Can be terribly crowded, especially with large baby carriages. Causing people to bump into one another. Carriages should be left outside in this space.

Really nice restaurant in a great location. Good, authentic food on a small but varied menu with lots of drinks options. Friendly staff. Food portions were more than adequate but lose a star for having cold dining plates at the table. I was also surprised at a hefty 13.5% tip automatically added to the bill - 10% OK, 12.5% maybe - but 13.5% - not really on as, for example, this effectively put our £40 bottle of wine at £45.40 ... £5.40 for bringing it to the table in an ice-bucket and opening the bottle! All in all - a good experience - four adults with a mix of starters and mains to share, with one bottle of wine - £180 - a bit steep for lunch, but as my wife said, "We are in London"
