Albannach

Scottish Fayre

I'm scottish and wish that my Mum offered such a great menu when growing up. My childhood was stoovies, mince and tatties, stew and spag bol. I went here with my Dad a few months back and he in particular enjoyed the endless whisky selection.

I'd head here at weekends - either as great six nations venue or on a non rugby weekend to spoil your girlfriend/boyfriend.

The Doon Stairs bar in the basement is open late and is okay after a few beers/wine. The music is of the cheesey flavour

A taste of Scotland in Central London

I love this bar. I have been twice and thoroughly enjoy it there. Perfect for big screen rugby action. Food is extremely good, particularly the haggis in filo pastry, potato wedges. Quite pricey though. We ordered 1 scotch egg and it was £5! Comfortable seating, attractive staff and great service make this a great experience. Completely spottless as well. Ample choice of whisky. Located next to Trafalgar Sq - (Charing Cross Tube)

Highland Bling

Large restaurant and bar, with tartan-clad waiting staff and fine malt whiskeys providing a taste of Scotland in the heart of London.

Incorporates Doon (as in doon-stairs!), which is a slick cocktail bar, with intimate seating booths and candlelit tables.

There is a 15% waitress service charge so best to order at the bar!

Dine with the Celts

Too many people think Scottish quisine is made up of just Haggis; thankfully, Albannach isn't one of them!

A fantastically varied menu (though there is the obligatory Haggis, Neeps & Tatties) ranging from Oysters to Pigeon and Venison, it's definitely a place that's much more about the savoury than the sweet.

Most importantly, don't leave without sampling the whiskey. Prices may seem expensive, but it'll take you around 1 hour to drink a glass and so is worth it, just don't drive home!

It's a home away from home...
