A charming pub in Bloomsbury, The Rugby Tavern is also home to beautiful French restaurant: Bistro Bleu. Together, the pair marry British tradition and French elegance - making it a dining destination for any occasion. Grab after works drinks on their leafy terrace, enjoy Sunday lunch with the family, or experience a romantic date night in the hidden bistro upstairs. 

Downstairs the decor is stylish and traditional with luxurious leather seats and an elegant horseshoe bar, then venture upstairs and be transported to Paris; a stunning art-deco style interior, the bistro has navy and gold accents to create a regal feel. With the restaurant being just 36 covers, it's intimate and chic - perfect for any private hire event. 

The menu's French authenticity can be found at the helm; head chef, Bernard Dumonteil, is from North-eastern France, and general manager, Reynald Tel, is a born and bred Parisian. As such, the à la carte menu is comprised of approachable, simple, seasonal dishes, done extremely well, whilst the Sunday lunch offers a French twist on a British classic. And to drink? Handcrafted cocktails, fine wines, and a wide range of beers, ales, and ciders to keep your thirst quenched long into the night.
