Boisdale of Mayfair

"Boisdale is the kind of restaurant that has enough mahogany panelling, haggis, and taxidermy to make you think of Balmoral. Or Bambi’s mum. Either or. As well as some pretty iconic tartan carpeting and a cigar terrace, you’ll also find plenty of big-ticket steaks here, including a fillet that’s the Royal family’s steak of choice. And more importantly, we like it too. Outside of £95 caviar and black truffle that can be shaved tableside, you’ll also find some decent burgers here that are a great, affordable option for the area, as well as a daily £1 oyster happy hour." - Heidi Lauth Beasley

"Steaks, haggis, caviar, and tableside truffle grating are all on offer at Boisdale. They also do a solid burger, and both the Mayfair and Belgravia locations are extending EOTHO till the end of September." - Oliver Feldman, Rianne Shlebak

"Boisdale is the kind of restaurant that has enough mahogany panelling, haggis, and taxidermy to make you think of Balmoral. Or Bambi’s mum. Either or. We’ll be honest, nothing about tartan carpeting and a cigar terrace leads us to think of affordable menus, and really a lot of the steaks here will set you back over £35, but just ignore all that and direct your attention straight to their classic hamburger for £10.75. It’s a thick Scottish beef patty covered in lemon-tarragon mayo and although the hand-cut chips are an extra £4, it’s definitely worth it, as they’re what us professionals call ‘fucking huge’. Heads up, there’s also a daily £1 oysters happy hour from 5-7 pm." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver
