The Blue Door Bistro in Camden

belle salle de restaurant L'acceuil et le service sont tres bien. Les plats etaient tres bons mais le restaurant reste un peu cher

We had a lovely meal. The food was good, as was the atmosphere, and the service was friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Thank you Tajinder and the team.

My husband and I had dinner in the Blue Door Bistro twice during our stay at The Montague on the Gardens; Both times we had delicious meals: duck cottage pie, chicken noodle soup, potato and leek gratin, the McCarthy salad and wine. Everett the Supreme Commander has a very good knowledge of wine and food. We asked for Everett’s wine suggestions for our dinners. With a little input from us on our wine preferences generally speaking, Everett gave us excellent advice. The restaurant has a remarkable staff. We will be back.

Lovely meal in the enclosed patio, perfect for London’s weather. Cozy and quiet, our shrimp stroganoff and fish and chips were very tasty and generous. We will be back.

The service was on point. The sun room looks out onto the garden and is very pleasant with the windows open allowing in the fragrance of flowers

My friend and I stumbled on the Blue Door Bistro on our way to the theatre district from Russell Square. The staff is charming and professional and the food is so good we have returned twice. Everything is beautifully plated and delicious. Afternoon tea is everything you could wish for.

Wonderful service in a beautiful garden setting at a classic London hotel. We had the chicken and whole sea bass. The staff was very attentive.

We had a lovely dinner and the food and service was superb

Fabulous meal at the Blue Door Bistro where we celebrated Fathers Day with our family. Food was excellent, particularly Mrs Ts signature dishes, the service was great and the surroundings just made the meal. If you’re lucky enough to have a table in the conservatory, it’s so peaceful, you wouldn’t believe you’re in London,

A lovely location. Friendly staff but service was a bit slow. Food was really well cooked and presented. Portion size was perfect.

We were the only ones in the patio and yet it took 30' to get our food (5 of us). When we asked for clarifications on the menu such as ingredients of the accompanying sauce for the salad or which ones were the seasonal vegetables, she couldn't answer. While we appreciated to be left alone, we were literally left alone. While they had an internal lunch going on at the opposite side and they were all focused on it. Food was great though and I appreciated they had gluten free bread for me.

To admire the view of the garden and have a once in a lifetime opportunity be prepared with local produce and dedicated staff was an experience in itself Definitely a hotspot for tourists or special occasions.

It is a nice restaurant with a good atmosphere. A solid choice near Russell Square.

We received a warm welcome and staff were particularly considerate to one of our group who had mobility problems. The venue is classy with pristine tablecloths and cloth napkins. Although the menu choice was rather limited, my asparagus starter was delicious and other party members were particularly impressed with the crispy batter on the fish, the mushroom sauce accompanying the chicken and the rhubarb charlotte dessert.

What a beautiful evening. Terrific food, excellent service, and a beautiful setting. We went because it is around the corner from our hotel. So glad we did. Great cocktails. Our starters were delicious. Crab ravioli and chicory and gorgonzola salad. Entrees were outstanding. Chicken breast and spatchcock poussin. A lovely bottle of Chablis completed our dinner. We can't recommend it highly enough. We'll return before we leave London.

We had a very nice lunch experience but I did feel it was rather over priced.

A true hidden gem next to the British Museum. Lovely venue with excellent service and superb food. Outstanding wine list both by the glass and the bottle. Quiet and elegant spot. Casual dress is acceptable but you can feel at home dressed up as well.

4 of us had a relaxed catch-up over a lovely meal at Blue Door, with delicious cocktails in the adjoining bar beforehand. We had the £40 Table d'hôte menu.

Visited for dinner; the ambiance is satisfactory and the staff is friendly. Unfortunately, the chicken noodle soup lacked flavor and was watery. I wonder if It was flavoured with a single crumb of OXO cube. It lacked seasoning entirely. The "mini chicken pie" disappointed. The leak and potato soup were passable. The beef burger was okay but not on par with popular chain burger places like Honest, GBK, or Byron.

A wonderful dinner! Yes, it's a hotel restaurant and clearly an example of why you shouldn't discount them. The terrine was completely devoured, the fish and chips were the best we'd had during our trip, and the duck pie was rich and decadent. The cocktails were creative and so tasty, that we moved ourselves to the Leopard Lounge for an after dinner drink and a chance to listen to the live saxophonist. It felt like we'd stepped into a bit of a time warp. Utterly enjoyable. The overall cost of our evening was a bit steep, but that's on us for enjoying so many cocktails! Cannot wait to return.

Visited for afternoon tea. It’s a beautiful hotel (I sat in the small conservatory which was very calm and pleasant) and service is excellent. The tea was reasonably good value. I particularly enjoyed the artichoke sandwiches and the beautifully light and crisp mini scones. The cakes were very sweet, and didn’t really taste of anything beyond sugar. It would have been nice to maybe have a fruit tart or something with a bit of’bite’ to it. All in all though, a very enjoyable experience and I’d certainly like to return to the hotel.

We had the best Christmas Day experience here! Would come back!

Good location near to British Museum. Pleasant welcome from staff. Food quality excellent although my guest felt the portion sizes were too large. I had salmon and duck cottage pie with seasonal vegetables. Excellent. Cheeseboard was good and the right size for sharing. Prices might appear expensive but given the location, inflation, and the quality, I would not complain.

We had an awesome meal here. The hospitality manager did a great job recommending food, as well as drinks to pair with them. You could really tell he loves what he does.

Excellent service and generous portion sizes. Very good value in a lovely venue

Cozy place with very good service and excellent dishes

A beautiful dinner with exquisite service. Food was fresh and delicious! Service was particularly special. Thank you Valbona, India, Kristian and Sonia for taking such good care of us🌹

It was just as good as when we lat visited pre-Covid

Perfection as usuel. We just don't need music. Highly recommended.

We had lunch at this establishment and we had a great experience. The food was superb. We landed here because the restaurant at the the British Museum was booked out and we looked for a restaurant in the neighborhood. The service was very attentive yet discreet. The furnishings and overall environment was exemplary.

AFTERNOON TEA 894511252 Afternoon Tea.......Staff good, no complaints there at all but.....it was just ok in my opinion...noisy building work going on inside and out the back. I am sure the hotel is lovely to stay in and it's in a nice location but for me not a good experience for afternoon tea, I found it dull and no atmosphere.

We ate dinner the day we arrived at the Montague Hotel. We ordered the fish and chips and a chicken dish. The fish and chips were over-fried; the crust tasted burned. The chicken dish was better. This restaurant serves as the breakfast room for the hotel. The breakfast buffet has many choices, both hot and cold. For lunch, I had the Montague burger, which was two patties served in a brioche bun. It was good, but a very messy eat. The fried chicken sandwich had burnt crust. Service was friendly but sometimes a little slow.

We stopped in for a quick bite. Nice menu. Amenable to veggi eaters and gluten free. Staff very agreeable. I would recommend

A British themed restaurant which is very elegant and we were provided with great service by the staff. Good quality food too.

Food was fantastic, service was fantastic. Absolutely kind, friendly, beautiful people. They definitely went out of their way to make sure our experience was perfect. Highly, highly recommend this place. If we are ever back in London, will definitely be eating at this bistro again.

so I was hesitant re points - but the food was actually good, and that is the point of a restaurant. Good drinks, too. It's a hotel restaurant and already the hotel is a bit hidden - once you come in, it is very fancy indeed. But once you enter the restaurant from the lobby, fancedom radically declines. There is a bit of the old clubbish setup, Dorchester, Connaught, but of course it doesn't deliver that. Staff was mixed but the working waitresses were definitely friendly. The other customers were somehow very strange, in a truly odd way, seemingly inhouse guests, but ofc the hotel is not to be blamed for that. Yeah, the title encapsules it. Oh, it's not a cheap place of course, but then, why should it be.

Went for dinner after attending a lecture at The British Museum. Food was perfect, the service was faultless and the staff were all professional and friendly. Would definitely recommend it.

We had an enjoyable meal at the Blue Door. The Staff were attentive and helpful.

My dining companion and I ventured forth to try out this Bistro, in a period-piece hotel. The service was excellent: attentive but not obtrusive. Both the good food and ambience quite different from the more modern eateries.

The restaurant is in a hotel and did not look like the photos. It was nonetheless quite nice (we went to the bar area as the traditional restaurant looked very much like a typical hotel restaurant). The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the food was good (burgers / pasta). It was a little on the pricey side but not too bad and really nice quality. The wines were very expensive with the house bottles being at £37.50. The house white was particularly nice though. We shared a large tasty cheese cake. I'm not sure I would go there again because I have travelled a lot and try and avoid hotels but it is a good place.

Good service and a lovely dining room with good food

Had an absolutely wonderful meal here with a friend here on Tues! The food was excellent, every effort was made to avoid my coriander allergy, and the staff were extremely helpful, attentive but not obtrusive, and very friendly - thank you so much!

Really enjoyed dinner in the Blue Bistro - high quality food and well presented. The waiter arranged for me to have the chicken noodle soup that was from the a ka carte menu to have as part of the set menu. Enjoyed the chicken supreme and banana ice cream sundae. Highly recommend the Blue Bistro and I will dine there again

Was doubtful about “the best fish & chips, but 100% on board with it! Great service as well.

Well, this was a bit of a find. A lovely old style hotel and restaurant with a cool, fun vibe, great food and excellent service. All the staff were so pleasant from the doorman to the saxophone player in the funky bar. Loved it!

Charming restaurant in an old London hotel. Delicious food (Chris is raving about the fish and chips). Service was amazing. A customer called us gorgeous. And, they are playing Billy Holiday. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a lovely experience at this fabulous restaurant on Friday 18th February. Food delicious, lovely ambience and staff excellent, particularly Sonia and Everett. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic experience. Very attentive, charming surroundings and lovely food. Signature dishes do not disappoint. Overall felt like a very special evening.

Man darf sich von der Webseite nicht täuschen lassen: Zwar heißt es da, das Blue Door Bistro böte ein „informal setting“, aber das bedeutet lediglich, dass es offenbar Leute gibt, die bodenlange weiße Tischdecken, Perserteppiche und Mahagoni-Vertäfelung informell finden. Auf alle anderen dürfte das Ambiente des direkt gegenüber vom British Museum gelegenen Hotelrestaurants eher posh wirken. Wenn man ansonsten lieber Lokale besucht, die nicht mit vier Eurozeichen getaggt sind und bei denen man sich nicht fragen muss, ob man in Jeans überhaupt reingelassen wird, hält sich die Vorfreude in Grenzen. Das wiederum bietet natürlich die Möglichkeit, positiv überrascht zu werden – zum Beispiel in Bezug auf das vegetarische Angebot. Man darf zwar nicht den Fehler machen zu glauben, dass die mit einem Blümchen markierten Gerichte vegetarisch sind (es handelt sich stattdessen um Lieblingsgerichte der Hotelgründerin). Trotzdem findet sich auf der eher kleinen, saisonalen Karte in jeder Kategorie zumindest ein vegetarisches Gericht, das auch noch einigermaßen interessant daherkommt. Bei unserem Besuch fanden wir auf der Herbstkarte zum Beispiel Kürbis-Feta-Risotto und Kichererbsenburger, die, verglichen mit den klassisch britischen Gerichten vom Rest der Karte, mit unter 20 Pfund auch preislich einigermaßen moderat daherkamen. Nett vegetarisch essen kann man in London auch an vielen anderen Orten, wo einem nicht das Brot abgezählt von einem weiß behandschuhten Kellner mit der Zange angereicht wird, aber wenn man auf weiße Tischdecken und Mahagoni steht, dann kann man das auch hier tun.

We enjoyed a wonderful Saturday evening at the Blue Door. Service was attentive and the food was excellent. I absolutely loved the Barnsley Lamp chip which was very well cooked. The Petit Fours topped off a great evening and we will be back when we visit London again.

Outstanding service and tasty food. A real find, close to the British Museum

We had agreed to meet some friends from Manchester for lunch in London on what proved to be a wet Sunday in February. We had been to the Blue Door previously for dinner and the lunch proved to be at least as good. The restaurant was not busy so the ambience was quieter than we had experienced before. The service was excellent - attentive but not pushy. The food was as before very good although the starter portions were on the small side given the cost. The main courses were very good. Two of the part had roast lamb rump which was beautifully cooked and presented. One had grilled sea bass, ditto. A Thai curry and ravioli were also pronounced excellent. There is a good wine list with a number of good wines available by the glass (their Picpoul is highly recommended) as well as a number of (very) fine wines also available. For those who prefer draught beers, there is a reasonable choice and the Coast to Coast can be recommended. This is not a cheap restaurant but in my opinion it is good value given the high quality of both food and service. We shall return. It is worth calling the restaurant to book a table directly especially if you have any kind of food allergy or prefer a quiet table.

I double checked the reviews I read prior to booking the Blue Door last night. There might be two but what I experienced last night was 1970s cuisine at its worst. A goat cheese salad served with a Parmesan crisp sounded lovely but in keeping with the 70s theme play spot the goats cheese and Parmesan crisp in the sea of garlic mayonnaise . Perhaps the greatest offence was the serving of the main courses, a prawn stroganoff, not just cold but a crust had formed on the basmati rice. The ambience was probably at it’s best in the 70s. Disappointing and a 25% discount for a main course served cold just not good enough especially when it was the manager himself who served the food and acknowledged after that the plates had felt cold. The area is full of good value little Mediterranean restaurants give them your custom and do not reward places like this.

The scallops appetizer was very good. The lamb chop was all fat with little meat. When we told them they offered to replace it with the Rump of lamb which was lean and excellent. The cheesecake and the rice pudding are specialities of the house. They were rich, good and generous portions.

Really pleasant evening. Lovely food and service. My first visit and will definitely be back. Perfect for a quiet dinner / business. Great location and ambience. Highly recommend!

Had a superb meal with fantastic service after a great visit to the British museum - downside... it is expensive! (Traducido por Google) Tuve una excelente comida con un servicio fantástico después de una gran visita al Museo Británico - inconveniente... ¡es caro!

Service was really amazing - just right, not too intrusive but very helpful. Food was of a very decent standard from the set a la carte menu, at a decent price for this part of London on a Saturday lunchtime, just round the corner from the British Museum and RADA both of which we were visiting.

Just Amazing! Thank you for a lovely evening.

We had just arrived from Portugal & were staying at the Montague for a few nights. The reviews rave about the Blue Door so we “stayed in” on our first night. The menu is small but varied, although vegetarians aren’t well catered for, and overall the menu lacked energy. It was a bit staid. Not so the staff, who were all accomodating and knowledgeable and gave advice about the food etc. To be honest it was over a week ago and I can’t really remember much about the meal. I know it satisfied my appetite and tasted good. No complaints. The standout was the hospitality offered by well trained staff. All credit to them.

Nous avons décidé d'aller prendre notre afternoon tea à l'hôtel Montague on The Gardens. Bien situé (juste à côté du British Museum) et très facile d'accès. Ce fut une expérience très agréable. La salle où nous avons été placées étaient petite mais extrêmement cosy et privée. Le choix de thés était satisfaisant et nous pouvions en avoir à volonté. Les scones et les sandwishs étaient excellents, même si nous avons trouvé que pour le prix, il y avait un petit gout de trop peu. toutefois, nous avons passé un excellent moment et le personnel était extrêmement sympathique et efficace. Je recommande.

I really love this place, great food and atmosphere. Can't wait to go back. (Traducido por Google) Realmente me encanta este lugar, excelente comida y ambiente. No puedo esperar para regresar.

My friend and I were in Central London and fancy having afternoon tea, with no reservation on hand we came across The Montague and booked it... The reception which greeted us was lovely all the staff were very nice and friendly. We were taken to our table which I was a bit surprised about because it was in the conservative not sure if that's makes it the garden area. Or because it has been raining all day in London. On the other hand we had one tray between us and it was just enough.. If you are really hungry one tray would not be enough for two people.. The food was amazing and we enjoyed every bit of it

We have visited a few times for special occasions over the years and it is our 'go to' place in London when we spend time here. They are friendly and helpful. The bar is lovely to sit in before the meal and enjoy the Iive music .

Found this place via Trip Advisor- what a find! Fantastic food in an lovely setting with really really good service. The black pudding scotch egg was outstanding as was all the other starters our party had. Mains were top drawer too - steaks cooked to perfection and the prawn stroganoff was delicious. Will eat here again without a doubt

My daughter and I dined here on a visit to London. We highly recommend the Blue Door. The wonderful team made us feel like royalty.The building, food ,wine and service are out of this world. We enjoyed every second and every mouthful . We will be back hopefully.

Bad service. (Traducido por Google) Mal servicio.

Glamorous place, I didn't realise it was a hotel too. Nice decor, good food but quite small portions and lovely lovely wine.

We found The Blue Door by chance when walking past. We liked the look of the menu so booked a table for two. The food was excelent, the service was wonderful and the location was lovely. We went back for breakfast the next day. What an absolut pearl, well worth a visit! Certainly good value for money.

Horrible. Raw bloody duck, tasteless desserts and "scotch eggs" which are partial boiled eggs inside of a roll. My dog could have served us a better meal. All for the reasonable price of over 100 pounds for 2 1/2 people. (Traducido por Google) Horrible. Pato sangriento crudo, postres insípidos y "huevos escoceses" que son huevos cocidos parcialmente dentro de un panecillo. Mi perro podría habernos servido una comida mejor. Todo por el precio razonable de más de 100 libras para 2 1/2 personas.

While Everette was very nice, he was not actually a server as there were no actual servers until about an hour into our meal. When we did finally get servers they were very busy assisting a party of 8 next to us. We were the only two parties in the entire restaurant including ours. The food was horrible. I ordered from the preset menu, the scotch egg tasted like it was egg inside of a bread roll. The duck was so bloody, it left the taste of iron in my mouth. I am pregnant so I was very upset when I took a bite of the duck and realized how under-cooked it was. To be honest, even if I wasn't pregnant, I still would have been disgusted but not as concerned about the risk of eating raw poultry. I have had duck many times at many other high end restaurants. This was just bad cooking. At least if they are going to serve something raw or under-cooked, you should be notified, especially since I had brought it up to Everette and we had a full discussion about me being pregnant. When they brought the recooked duck back, I was so turned off from the first bite, I could not continue to eat. We took the dessert to go hoping maybe that would be better, but it was so bland and lacked flavor. Over 100 pounds later, leaving hungry and disgusted, I would not recommend this place to a starving homeless person if the meal was offered for free.

A fantastic experience for our last night in London. Food was superb, service was friendly and attentive, and the ambience was perfect.

Amazing food and ambience perfect for catching up with friends and having a relaxed dinner. The staff were so friendly and polite and knowledgeable about the menu and wine. Perfect evening and so relaxed.

High tea was served in the Atrium (in my view anyway). Plenty of choices, you are given a selection of teas to smell the aroma prior to selection. The staff were very helpful and pleasant, we had a great afternoon at the Montague. Recommend checking their website and making a booking via it.

Excellent food and attentive service, with a traditional bistro style setting. Was a very enjoyable dinner.

Amazing service and food. So glad we happened on it. Staff we exceptional

A beautiful restaurant with pedestrian food (if you're a vegetarian). The service was excellent and the staff very friendly. The view onto the garden is lovely! But the food was only OK. I was disappointed having read so many positive reviews. Maybe the meat dishes are better prepared? My salad was overpriced and fairly tasteless. The veggies in my pasta primavera were very fresh, but the preparation of the pasta--the flavoring of the sauce--was absent: it was basically grilled veggies and pasta and olive oil with a little parmesan tossed on top. A family sitting next to me allowed their toddler to play her video out loud at the restaurant, and the staff did not intervene. The family was friendly and the kid very cute--but it could have been a distraction for others, as it was, occasionally, for me.

My daughter loved her sole of filet (fish) dinner. It came with pasta stuffed with mushrooms and soup. I was hoping for fish and chips so I was disappointed. They did make me a tossed salad that was very good. Desert was excellent.

I must say that my experience at lunch today was incredibly disappointing. I had been looking for a suitable place to enjoy a quiet lunch with my Grandmother before visiting an exhibition at the British Museum. Starting on a positive note, the staff were excellent at providing a pre-lunch Gin & Tonic in the hotel before we moved into the dinning room. Unfortunately after that things started to go down hill. The dinning room was deserted for lunch on a Saturday. As it later became apparent, this was intentional. Two groups of walk-ins were turned away and told that the restaurant was “fully booked” despite it only having only two people in it. This is a restaurant that clearly doesn’t want your business. On the food quality, I had ordered the fishcake starter which was to be served with a poached egg. The poached egg had been boiled to an inch of its life. The yolk was rock hard and going grey. I am not certain how such an error could occur in a restaurant that only had two diners. Further my Tuna from the Grill menu was barely cooked at all. Despite these issue the bill also proved challenging. Firstly, I had to remind them that our drinks had not been added to the bill. Secondly, despite the issues they had still had the nerve to add a 12.5% gratuity to the bill. At no point when we were leaving did they attempt to apologise. For those reading to the end of this review, do not visit this “non-restaurant”, they clearly do not value their customers.

We chose this place for dinner based on prior reviews as well as proximity to our hotel and were not disappointed. The restaurant is located within the Hotel Montague, a quaint, historic boutique hotel close to Russell Square and the British Museum. Unfortunately, the reservation...

Good meal and good service. We would definitely go again

Whenever we visit London we try to locate restaurants with good food in specific neighborhoods. We were very pleased to find the Blue Door Bistro next to the British Museum. The hotel + restaurant has a garden setting for nice weather and a lovely glass enclosed tea room. We were there for lunch but next time we will try dinner in the dinning room or a light lunch in the tea room. The service and the food were top quality.

Arrived very early for our booking but we were received courteously and seated. Building lovely and the dining room was characterful and attractive. The bread served was a little hard I think it had stood uncovered. Our starters arrived in a good time after ordering...

Arrived 30 mins before booked time, no problem we were seated in an empty dining room which was very pleasantly decorated. Staff were charming and attentive. Menu gave a choice of a 3 course set price and a more extensive selection available from another menu. For starters I had the black pudding scotch egg and my wife chose the mushroom and truffle soup (served to look like cappuccino) Soup declared good but could not taste the truffle. The Scotch Egg was served cut in half and the edges of the pudding were hard, perhaps it stood under the lights of the pass too long, however it was tasty. Mains Fish with risotto and belly pork. The fish was cold and was sent back, the pork although not cold was not very hot but i kept it, when returned the fish was only marginally warmer. The pork was over cooked on the base to the extent that it had the constancy (and taste ) of wood. The young man serving us ? Smithman was obviously embarrassed about the meal and was most apologetic. Deserts, large piece of Cheese Cake and a cheese selection. Both very good. Mr Smithman and a senior member of staff took off the price of the main courses and made other adjustments to the bill. Although the food fell below par, the staff and the general ambiance of the restaurant was a pleasure and I will be prepared to try again.

A rare combination of old-fashioned, white tablecloth, elegant and discreet ambiance and service and well-chosen, well-prepared dishes. We came here once out of convenience and have returned several times with friends. Along with a visit to a theatre, it's one of our favorite ways to splurge when visiting London, and I hope to return again.

Excellent and original food. My husband had the mushroom cappuccino and I had pea omelette for starters. Wow great taste experiences. Then I had the Duck Cottage pie, different and brilliant and husband had pork belly. Too full for desserts.
