Ensconced in the stylish Montague Hotel in Central London is the attractive Blue Door Bistro, which provides an informal and welcoming atmosphere. The light and airy lunch time venue transforms into a cosy, candlelit dining area after sundown. Wrought iron wall lights attractively offset the rich mahogany wall panels and the clever use of mirrored glass gives it a spacious feel.

Having gathered an AA Rosette, the bistro is well-known to serve delicious food using fresh ingredients and the menu includes some traditional British dishes like cured ham with seasonal melon and lemon and thyme dressing, and Cornish crab and avocado salad with gazpacho sauce. Main courses are skilfully presented; a supreme of salmon with grilled pak choi and ginger butter sauce, and Caesar's salad with garlic flamed tiger prawns. Desserts also make a lasting impression; think sherry trifle, baked cheesecake with honeycomb ice cream, and a selection of British and French cheeses.
