Haloumi Fries at The Montague Hotel

Overview

Going to a bar where everybody knows your name might be something that only happens in sitcoms, however West End's new pub, The Montague Hotel, will make you feel like that could occur. When it opened in April, it didn't hide the fact that it wants to be the area's new local haunt — and once you've been there, you'll probably be inspired to drop by the Monty quite often.

Forget the drinks — a mark of a great pub is a varied menu of comforting eats. If you can see yourself eating there every day of the week, that's an ace sign. Good ol' Monty serves up three kinds of fries (potato, sweet potato and the cheese wonder that is haloumi), seven types of burgers, steaks, schnitzels, pizzas, salads and rotisserie chicken, lamb and pork, all of which is sure to get your tastebuds pumping. Oh, and who doesn't want an espresso martini ice cream sundae for dessert?
