About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
The Lady Ottoline pub and dining room is a beautiful slice of Bloomsbury history and culture, located a stone's throw from the Grays Inn Road.

On the ground floor of the Dickensian style building, drinks are available from the dark wood bar and food from the banquette-lined tables, perfect for quick business lunches and home-comfort cosy dinners next to the open fire.
Upstairs, guests are treated to an elegant, more formal atmosphere in the dining room, ideal for romantic, candle-lit dinners and social suppers. Tucked away across the hall is a snug private dining room, The Morrell Room, which caters to special occasions, family get-togethers and intimate gatherings alike, seating up to 14 people round a large wooden table.

Open for lunch and dinner from Monday to Saturday and serving roasts for Sunday lunch.

    Good service and food, although surprising and disappointing that a pub would have no stout whatsoever.

    Very noisy down in the bar but reasonable selection of beers and a huge gin list. The restaurant was nice and the menu good. Staff were attentive. Would go there again.

    The upstairs dining room is quaint and charming. Christmas decorations are great. Server was excellent and attentive, kitchen was a bit slow. Food was tasty and well presented.

    Incredibly slow service, so much that we had to leave before dessert was served. No smiles included.
