HTML Hyperlink Open in New tab

I want to add a "view menu" to a form block that opens in a new tab, but when I add in the following:

View the <a href="/menu" target="_blank"><strong>Menu</strong></a> here to create your order.

It opens in the same tab. 

Is there something I should change in my code to tell the link to open in a new tab?

Your code will work, but not in the editor, try testing in when not logged in to your website.
