Found on New River Avenue in the Hornsey area of London, just a stone’s throw away from the iconic Alexandra Park, Cornelius is a stylish little eatery that brings forward a host of sumptuous Romanian flavours. Now accepting the Gourmet Society card, members visiting the restaurant will be treated to any of the dishes found on the a la carte menu at a fantastic price, providing they call in advance and produce said card on request of the bill.
Beginning with the exquisite appetisers, where a heavenly selection of Angel sticky wings are wonderfully contrasted by a scrumptious collection of chilli salt enriched crispy calamari, and where the fish board of smoked salmon, seabass, carp caviar and tiger prawns makes for a wondrous choice for the more sociable eating parties, diners can consider their appetite thoroughly whetted for what’s to come.
Next up, the mouth-watering ensemble of main course options are just as divine and leave nothing to be desired. Particularly enticing examples of such can be seen in the enchanting pork belly and confi duck leg, paired with braised white cabbage, the glorious cod brine, which comes complete with grilled polenta and baby vegetables, and a flavoursome Romanian stew, served with stuffed polenta.
Considering the magnificent savings, guests are encouraged to conclude the feast in style with one of the delectable desserts, where a sweet and sharp crème caramel and lemon ice cream combo sits alongside a wondrous dark chocolate mousse, before dipping into the wallet in the enjoyment of a beverage or two from the extensive drinks menu.
