The best burger IN THE WORLD (if you like truffles 21st May 2009

This is one of my favourites. What can be better than a Scottish whisky and cigar bar? Well this place also has great Jazz and excellent food. You can either eat in the fairly pricey, but worth it, restaurant. Or you can eat from the bar menu (there are actually two bars here. One is like a mini pub?).
I have to say that I have eaten and tried a lot of burgers in my life, but the truffle burger served at the bar here, is no less than "the greatest burger in the world" (assuming you like truffle!). The restaurant has never disappointed me, serving excellent food to the highest standards.
For the smokers amongst you, since the ban, they have created an upstairs terrace which is great...even in winter!
If you arrive later or stay later, they do often require a payment for the band. The Jazz is often extremely good and enjoyable and inishes the evening nicely.

Have to agree - it's been my top London restaurant for years!

A great bar for whisky: note spelling - the correct way for Scottish firewater! I haven't had the pleasure of dining here but the restaurant area is kept separate with a conservatory at the back providing a third space for this smoky, classy place.

It can feel a little intimidating if you're here to drink - the wine list is huge and the whisky list is the size of a telephone directory. Staff are helpful and enthusiastic and when I was getting befuddled by the variety on offer, the short descriptions of each whisky proved useful but ultimately a little overwhelming. The members' club feel of the decor and surroundings might not be to everyone's taste so be aware of this if you're taking along folks who don't like heavy Chesterfield sofas, cigars, live jazz and whisky snobs. If you're bringing along people who DO like this sort thing, then you're all in for a good time!

Highland Hospitality in Belgravia (well nearer Victoria actually) 4th June 2007

I was walking past here the other day and thought I really should add this to TrustedPlaces. Ok, so it has been a while since I have eaten here but this is an establishment with some serious character. Its mission is to offer Highland Hosplitality in London. It has two restaurants but I have only ever been to this one and it is a hoot. The style is all hard-core rustic highlands and the food is hearty too. This is a place for a steak, red wine and a cigar (if that is your kind of thing).

Boisdale's also has a live band plays between Monday-Sat between 10pm to Midnight (which you have to pay for if you arrive after it has started I think).

Anyhow, this is a legendary spot and if you are looking for something different then this certainly fits the bill. It is a great spot for a party and knees up and I have had a very memorable Christmas dinner here before.

The establishment is pretty well known and famous, rightly so!
