About this restaurant

Charming
Gluten-free-friendly
Good for business meals

A few short steps from the British Museum, The Blue Door Bistro provides a welcoming and informal bistro-style setting. Light and airy at lunchtime, warm and cosy by evening, the room is decorated on three sides with a panoramic view of London circa 1849. Together with the rich mahogany panelled walls, effective use of mirrored glass, and contemporary wrought iron wall lights, an ambience rooted in the hotel’s location is beautifully achieved. Executive chef, Martin Halls, blends seasonal ingredients and herbs from our garden with classical techniques to create seasonal British menus. Our cuisine is commended with an AA rosette and accredited by the Sustainable Restaurant Association (2 stars). In all of our products, we only use free-range eggs and are committed to sustainable fisheries for our fish supplies. Our team are trained to ensure that your specific dietary requirements are catered for at all times.

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.

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.

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.
