The Traditional English Restaurants of London

Overlooking London's most picturesque and tranquil gardens, The Montagu provides a vibrant setting to relax and indulge in a wide range of British, seasonal dishes, all of which are prepared in a striking open kitchen.

Located in Portman Square the restaurant prides itself on being a neighbourhood restaurant, which serves up a wide selection of wonderful, fresh dishes, with a mission to provide relaxed eating for all those whose lives bring them into contact with the hotel and its neighbourhood.

Awarded the prestigious Tea Guild's Award of Excellence 2010, The Montagu offers a full afternoon tea service from 3:00pm to 6:00pm which is the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street. The Montagu Afternoon Tea offers elegant tiered stands bearing a selection of traditionally British, thinly sliced finger sandwiches and warm fruit and plain scones with strawberry jam and Cornish clotted cream. The Patissier's selection includes pretty French pastries and fruit tartlets and mini desserts. Also served is a fine selection of exquisite teas. For that extra special treat, guests can also enjoy The Churchill Afternoon Tea which also includes a glass of Sommelier's choice champagne!

The Montagu's Chef's Table is a foodie experience with a 5-course menu, prepared and delivered by the chefs, right before your eyes. An extensive wine list offers 70 labels covering mix of New and Old World wines, with numerous selections available by the glass.

For those with time to linger at lunch or having dinner, the choice is wide and focuses on ingredients that are in season. Try the tiger prawns with garlic butter sauce or the Dover sole with new potatoes and drizzled with lemon butter. Or for those who prefer something meatier, choose from a stunning Angus beef fillet with bone marrow crust and port wine shallots, or a neck of lamb with potato gnocchi and black olive jus.

And for pudding, it is difficult to resist The Montagu's tempting selection. Indulge in a chocolate fondant with white peach compôte, a pavlova with marinated strawberries and toasted pistachios, or a scrumptious sticky toffee and date pudding with toffee sauce and vanilla ice-cream.

The Montagu is in some ways a gentleman's club shorn of its pomposity and sepulchral silence, and replaced with jollity and laughter, a real fun place to be not least because of the quality of the food and surroundings, and providing a real lift to the area.
