    It was late on a Sunday and after a day of sight seeing and a LOT of walking, we were famished and hungry. We also wanted to get a English Toffee pudding. There were not a lot of options in the area that showed up and we chose Montagu based on the reviews. Did not realize it was inside the Hyatt Regency. I am generally scexcellenteptical of hotel restaurants but Montagu is the real deal. The ambiance, food, and service were on point. Everything we ordered from the samosa to the burger to the pasta was excellent. The English Toffee Pudding was... awesome! Our neighbording tables turned around after hearing me scrape the bottom of the plate to get all the sauce. Not very British and how American of me...Oops. Side note...loved all the Churchill potraits and memorabilia.

    Came here for my first afternoon tea with a larger group and it was pretty decent. The atmosphere was more on the upscale side. I thought it was nice, but it seemed like a standard afternoon tea. The sandwiches and scones were delicious and the variety was good. I would recommend this place for a nice, dressy afternoon tea, especially with large groups.

    Needing a break & energy refreshment, a friend brought us here to Montagu for Afternoon Tea Seated immediately in this lush, welcoming environment, we found it hard to decide between Cream Tea or their special Breast Cancer dessert & today it was Chocolate Cake with Strawberry Jam 3-Tiered cage of Finger Sandwiches, Scones & Cakes come out for our Tea-indulgers & the other 2 in our group (me included) got the Cake There is a *thick* layer of dark chocolate layer of ganache & could hardly taste the Strawberry.....which was perfect for me since as many of you may remember, I have a strict policy to never mix fruit w/ my chocolate But when supporting Breast Cancer & enjoying a sugary treat, I couldn't help myself but indulge Tea sandwiches included Salmon, Ham, Carrot & Cumber, Egg Salad, & Cakes included Lime Macaroon, Ginger Cake, Biscotti Scones, sandwiches & cakes were very good & overall our Tea was deemed a success! No reservation needed & they allow jeans / casual wear as other places we called did not.....and this go round, it was not we Americans who were the casual ones in our group, but the Brits

    Was looking froward to this but I have to say that on the whole I was disappointed. The staff were helpful and attentive to begin with, but this was before the restaurant got a bit busier and a large group of ladies were having a wine and food matching meal. To begin with I had to remind them that the deal I had booked included two free Bellini's and the throw away comment was that some people have them at the end of the meal, not the fact that they had not offered me this option or even provided me with a wine menu. I tend to think of these kind of things as the basics!! So onward and upward from there I thought, which it was until the large group of female dinners arrived and then the chef and the matradee were all over them, even to the point where some food was being thrown away. I know this as the kitchen is visible from the dining area. Which was another reason I wanted to eat here. The idea of seeing your dinner being prepared After we had our main which was very nice and of good portion sizes we were just left waiting for our desert. When it arrived it looked very good however it was tepid at best. I had an orange and apple desert which came with custard and neither part of it was hot just tepid which was really disappointing. We tried to get the attention of staff but as the restaurant had got busier we were unable to do so. When someone finally came we just requested the bill at which point they asked how everything was and we told them the waitress, who's English was not the best, she went off and spoke to someone. When she returned we thought she vas going to offer replacements, something off the bill. But no she asked if we wanted coffees and not on the house either. So somewhere I was looking forward to eat at turned out to be rather disappointing. Not entirely due to the food but because when they got busy the quality of service dropped off sharply, so take heed if you go there pray it does not get to busy!!!

    A restaurant within the hotel with an open kitchen and nice seating space. I was hopeful for this restaurant but left rather disappointed and probably will not be back. The service was terrible and given it did not start off busy in the restaurant this was worrying. We had taken up a deal that was here which included bellinis. Usually the waiting staff either ask if you would like them first or come with them. Neither of these options were presented to us and we had to ask. The response from the waitress made me feel bad for asking. The reality was, they probably forgot them. We were then left waiting for the wine menu and had to ask for this also. After this, we felt that we were not worthy customers and were treated as such as far as I am concerned. As the evening went on the waiting service got worse. We had a number of people serving us with most of the food, although well presented, decidedly not very rememberable apart from tepid custard for dessert. Custard needs to be hot! Not tepid. We were left hanging around for ages and think we spend more time waiting than eating. I'll not be back.

    This is what you get served for breakfast-awesome Eggs Benedict

    I went there a few times to The Montagu and I always had a good time. My favourites are their Goats Cheese Mousse & beetroot purée and the main course Dover Sole. They change their menu at least twice a year so it's always something new to try. The set menu especially is a great value if you consider its a 5 star hotel in the middle of the west end London. I also went to the Sunday Brunch which had so much food available- they served free flowing Pommery Champagne, white or red wine and soft drinks are also included in the price. The restaurant has definitely something to offer for every occasion.

The chips were thick-cut, properly salted, and tasted like real chip shop fries instead of frozen fast food fries. The place was completely packed, so I ended up eating on the stairs about a block away, honestly felt like part of the experience. One of those spots that doesn't try to reinvent fish and chips. it just does the classic version better than most places. Would easily go back next time I am in London.

(I heard the non GF version was also excellent.) Platter came with flavorful mushy peas, tartar sauce, and a spicy mayo (or currry for the non GF platter). Chips were large and delicious. Portion was huge, and easily shareable. Delicious!! Service: It was ok. We waited in line for a really long time (more than an hour) but we were checked on from time to time. Once we were seated and ordered, no one really checked in, but we asked if we needed something. Ambiance: Cute outdoor seating. In door seating was okay. Reservations get to go into a back room which seemed nicer. Lovely side street in a crazy busy popular area. It's a solid 4.5 stars for what it is because the food was so good. I'd return. Tip: Make a reservation a couple of weeks in advance, or be prepared to wait...a long time...Or, skip the line to order takeaway and go enjoy your food!

It took 25 mins to place our drink order- then about 30 more mins to get our food, after placing that order. Then we had to wait to place a dessert order. Then we had to wait for the check. One word for this comes to mind...'waiting'. We found ourselves waiting every step of the way for our waiter to acknowledge us. Honestly I can forgive A LOT if people are nice but that wasn't the case with our server. Low energy, not very warm and welcoming and slow. Actually to be fair, I got a smile from the busboy when I was on my way to the restroom- perhaps the 2 should switch roles if the restaurant is looking for repeat visits or nice reviews. Btw- the manager...not exactly sure what he was doing. One last thing, I've had sea bass in many restaurants and never had anyone leave the skin on-Just not what I expected. This restaurant gets 2 thumbs down for me. Go to Bills right around the corner - save some money - and get a smile from the staff and a nice greeting.

They had room for party of 4 and it was Monday night, so "butcher" pricing, which means you pay what they pay by the weight for your meat. There was a chalk board that listed all the cuts by weight and as they sold, they crossed them off. There were still plenty available in a variety of cuts when we arrived around 8pm. I love that the entire restaurant is underground. We ended up getting an 800kg ribeye and it was the perfect amount of meat for us. We did supplement with lots of sides including the bone marrow, mushrooms on toast, beef dripping chips, and sweet potato. My favorite was the sweet potato, which was ash roasted for 10 hours and you could taste it. They all went will with the steak that came out in about 20 minutes, pre-sliced with a nice presentation. We also got a few of the cheese and pickle, which was a hit with my wife. Our server was great and we enjoyed our time and meal very much!
