Boisdale of Belgravia - Knightsbridge & Belgravia, London

The Boisdale is fit for a Scottish laird and looks the part. Regal red tartan encompasses every inch of floor and seating space, the whisky list is as interminable and heroic as the Iliad and there's even a cigar terrace where you can stylishly have one over on the smoking ban. Carnivores will delight in Caledonia's best beef, and there are plenty of options from Scotland's seas to boot. If you're feeling flush start with the 'Menage a trois' Scottish salmon before having the 12 ounce, 28-day aged Aberdeenshire fillet on the bone with seared foie gras and fresh grated black truffles. The Boisdale is only minutes away from Buckingham Palace and would equally suit a quiet romantic dinner or post work beverages with colleagues.
