Blue Door Bistro

Quiet & calm, The Montague’s smart little brasserie is a reliable bolthole for business dining, with an international menu based on largely British ingredients. From a time-honoured combo of West Coast scallops with verdant pea purée & crispy pancetta to an equally seasonal rhubarb crumble, served with a dollop of clotted-cream ice cream, it delivers assured cooking with a touch of elegance. In between, expect soundly rendered main courses including the likes of calf’s liver with bubble & squeak, roast chicken carved from the trolley (with chipolatas & baby roast potatoes) or steak from the grill with chips & a choice of béarnaise or green peppercorn sauce. Smartly dressed staff are professional yet relaxed, & the well-spread wine list promises plenty of good drinking by the glass.
