Dining at The Montague on the Gardens

Located in leafy Bloomsbury, a stone's throw from the British Museum, is The Montague on the Gardens, with a unique range of dining experiences all under one roof. One of these is The Blue Door Bistro; its Wood Deck is the perfect place to while away the warmer evenings and take afternoon tea, sip a refreshing glass of Pimm's or enjoy the menu created with seasonal British ingredients. Also the setting for fantastic barbecues, you can chat with the chef as he prepares succulent gourmet burgers on the grill. The Montague also boasts one of London's finest cigar terraces. Overlooking the tranquil Bedford Estate Gardens, it features a wide selection of the best Cuban cigars accompanied by rare Cognacs and whiskies.

A premier venue for afternoon tea, which is served throughout the week from noon until 6pm, the conservatories and herb garden offer the chance to relax in stylish surroundings. The selection of finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and preserves, and delicate seasonal pastries has won a UK Tea Council Award of Excellence for the second year running.

Come the winter, the first flutters of snow will start to fall as The Montague Ski Lodge opens. Offering a bespoke vodka bar and alpine food taster platters, this unique festive experience is not to be missed.
