Belgravia, Scottish Restaurant Guide

“Boisdale has the advantage of many nooks and crannies for discreet dates” and won particular support this year for its romantic potential: “a great place for those intimate moments: one can choose to enjoy the live music – or peace and privacy”. A traditional red-walled, Caledonian-themed space, run by wine merchant and Scottish laird Ranald Macdonald since 1989, its British menu features dry-aged Aberdeenshire steaks, Hebridean seafood, and haggis, all washed down with a wide range of wines and whiskies; and with a dedicated terrace for cigars. Blues and Jazz is the backbone of the entertainment programme, with Jools Holland, Patron of Music.
