This One Of A Kind Bookshop Restaurant In Massachusetts Is A Book Lover's Dream Come True

The Lady Killigrew is a cafe and pub that is tucked inside of one of the state’s most charming bookshops: the Montague Bookmill. The restaurant and bookstore are both housed in a restored 19th-century mill that overlooks the beautiful Sawmill River.

As soon as you step inside The Lady Killigrew, you’ll be dazzled by the floor-to-ceiling windows and cozy wooden furnishings. If you peer past the plush curtains, you’ll spot the Sawmill River as it churns and dashes away through the woods.

The top of the restaurant’s menu reads "food that is intrinsically delicious," and we couldn’t agree more. You can fill up on wholesome meals like warm brown rice salad, peanut-diner udon noodles, or a simple scrambled egg and cheddar bagel. If you’re in the mood for a hearty grilled sandwich served on locally baked sourdough country bread, you have options like curried chicken with cheddar, tomato, and onion or their popular brie, apricot jam, and marinated apple sandwich.

This is the absolute perfect place to settle in for a good reading session over a warm cup of coffee and a snack. Though the dining room isn’t very large, there is a patio outside the book shop where you can take your food if the weather permits.

It’s hard to overstate how charming The Lady Killigrew really is. The only way to truly understand is to visit this wonderful restaurant that is perfectly suited to bookworms. Once you pull up a chair, you’l have a hard time tearing yourself away.
