Experience a wild ride from sunrise to sunset at Bloomsbury Street Kitchen. Revel in contemporary Mediterranean and Japanese nibbles, creative cocktails, and a lively atmosphere. For the ultimate immersive experience, book a table at the chef's counter - Kitchen Table right by the live cookery, where you'll feel like you're part of the action.
A real charmer, Blue Door Bistro At The Montague On The Gardens Hotel is an old-school hideaway decked out in mahogany panels and mirrored glass. Boasting an extensive collection of wines and champagne and a banging a la carte menu, you'll also get a killer view of London circa 1849 from three sides.
