The Blue Cockatoo was a restaurant in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, London, at the corner with Oakley Street.[1] It is considered to have been England's first bistro.[1]
The restaurant and its upper room was popular with artists, including Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife, Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh, who had studios in nearby Glebe Place from 1915.[2] Other regulars included Augustus John, Randolph Schwabe, John Duncan Fergusson and Margaret Morris,[2] although the food itself "was often unappetizing and the service erratic".[2]
In 1967, The Blue Cockatoo along with the Pier Hotel was sold to developers to be replaced by "luxury flats".[1]
