My friend Ruth is briefly back in Bristol and is taken with exploring North Street more now I’m down here, so Alasdair and I invite her out to Cor for the evening. Alasdair spots the person who hired him for his communications job in healthcare working as a waitress, and so the tone for the evening is set. As Cor has a strong vegan menu, and as it’s a small plates/tapas place, it’s up to Ruth and I to share. I guide us through some Cor classics (the lemon cannelini beans with caviar, the potatoes with café Paris butter) and try some new options (the crisp celeriac with polenta mash, a stunning savoury goats cheese canele), before being too full to really eat much beyond the dark chocolate truffles for dessert. Lovely to have such a place a 2 minute walk from the house.
