Located on Clarges Street in the heart of Mayfair, Cordelia’s is a contemporary steakhouse built around the drama and craft of live-fire cooking. The restaurant centres on an open theatre kitchen, where bespoke charcoal grills form the focal point of the dining room, filling the space with the sights, sounds and aromas of food cooked over flame.
The kitchen is led by chef Jordi Sebastianelli, whose menu showcases a carefully considered approach to sourcing and ageing beef. British beef takes centre stage, sourced from selected farms and dry-aged in house to develop depth of flavour and character. Alongside this, Cordelia’s offers an international selection of sought-after heritage breeds, including Galician beef from Spain, Finnish Sashi beef and Italian Parmesan-fed beef, giving diners the opportunity to explore how breed, terroir, diet and ageing techniques influence taste and texture.
While steak is the headline attraction, the menu extends beyond beef. Signature dishes include steak tartare, rotisserie chicken, responsibly sourced seafood and seasonal vegetable-led accompaniments, all designed to make the most of the restaurant’s live-fire grills. The result is a menu that balances premium ingredients with precise, ingredient-focused cooking.
The drinks programme has been designed to complement the food, with a particular focus on tequila and agave spirits, alongside a curated wine list. Cocktails and wines are selected to pair with the smoky, charred flavours that define the menu, while a lively atmosphere evolves throughout the day and into the evening.
Inside, Cordelia’s combines the polish of a modern Mayfair dining room with the warmth of a neighbourhood restaurant. Viola marble surfaces, walnut tables, antique mirrors and rich leather banquettes create an elegant yet welcoming setting, equally suited to long lunches, celebratory dinners and late-night drinks. Combining exceptional beef, open-fire cooking and attentive hospitality, Cordelia’s offers a sophisticated take on the modern London steakhouse.
