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] Others included Eric Gill in 1927.^[3]

In 1962–1967, The Blue Cockatoo along with the Pier Hotel was sold to developers Wates Group to be replaced by "luxury flats".^[1]^[3] The block of flats is called Pier House, and a statue of A Boy on a Dolphin stands at the front.^[3]
