RESTAURANT REVIEW: A new venue for an old haunt, Boisdale of ...

Boisdale of Mayfair is a new bistro, shellfish bar and cigar terrace on North Row.

Surrounded by embassies and set in one of London’s most distinguished areas just off Park Lane, the new restaurant brings Boisdale’s celebrated traditional British cuisine and entertainment to a new area in the capital.

Set in a Grade One-listed building originally used as a stable, the restaurant is decorated in Boisdale’s distinctive red and green design, with the ground level Stable Bar offering draft ale, a superb wine list including its own bottled wine and vintage Champagnes, and Mayfair’s most exclusive whisky list of fine and rare malts, accompanied by nightly jazz and blues performances from the ‘Joanna’ piano.

Spread over two mezzanine levels, the dining room offers a full á la carte menu of British favourites, including dry aged Aberdeenshire beef, hand-dived Scottish king scallops served with venison chorizo and Boisdale claret, rock and native oysters, Scottish game and award-winning burgers.

Whilst smokers have been ushered out on to the street in most London establishments, smoking is a celebrated activity at Boisdale, with each restaurant having its own, discreet cigar terrace.

Steak, cocktails, music and romance – there’s plenty to fall in love with at Boisdale of Mayfair.

Boisdale of Mayfair There’s a pianist.

This Mayfair spot is the newest in the Boisdale stable, but it feels so far removed from a chain that I almost forget there are branches in Belgravia, Canary Wharf and Bishopsgate too.

Diners can enjoy the charm of eating inside these converted stables on North Row, just off Park Lane, while drinkers soak in the atmosphere of the old stable bar (which is famed for its well-considered whisky menu).

Restaurant Review: Boisdale of Mayfair, London

Boisdale of Mayfair may well serve the best cheese board in London, with the added bonus of live jazz and excellent shellfish.

This addition landed in Mayfair exactly a year ago this month and has been dishing out Scottish fare from a converted listed stables with decor that gives off the archetypal air of an old boys club: dark red furnishings, mahogany panelling and a mounted stag’s head to finish the look.

Now the food: starters and mains are a blend of traditional Scottish fare (including fish & game of the day) and choice of five “Boisdale Burgers”.

For our first course we sampled two joyously runny haggis scotch quails eggs and a small bowl of soup of the day: a sensationally rich and creamy parsnip and apple with white truffle oil accompanied by crusty bread and creamy butter.

Verdict: Boisdale of Mayfair is a cosy and eclectic venue with an extravagant, yet affordable menu.

Boisdale of Mayfair: More of the same, but better | London Evening ...

Boisdale are a group of Scottish men’s dens – very much Boysdale, as it were – places of single malt whisky, cigars and fine wine.

All come from owner Ranald Macdonald – who reminds me of the late Rick Parfitt, if Parfitt were descended from highland aristocrats – a man who recalls smoking his first cigar as “a bit like, but not quite as good as, having sex for the first time”.

It lives where the cosy Fino’s Wine Cellar once was, and while there’s red all over the walls, somehow everything feels fairly civilised, with its mahogany panels and old Sinatra LPs as decoration.

There’s a feel of an old bistro: they offer sharing plates ("British Tapas" is not an expression I imagine Macdonald signed off personally), charcuterie and three rarebits, while starters and mains offer plates of traditional Scottish fare given an upmarket makeover: think Dumfriesshire haggis roasted, Aberdeenshire steak tartare, wild venison carpaccio.

The whisky selection is smaller than other Boisdale sites, but well chosen with plenty of new drams alongside old favourites, and the bar benefits from excellent staff: a Vieux Carre and a Sazerac (what?

Boisdale of Mayfair - Venue

The restoration of the original Victorian lantern skylight (restaurant mezzanine level) cost an exorbitant amount of money and delayed the building works by three weeks.

Boisdale of Mayfair Restaurant, shellfish bar and cigar terrace is located in converted listed stables on North Row, off Park Lane and decorated in distinctive design of red and dark green walls, rich mahogany panelling, with an eclectic collection of classical and modern original artwork.

The ground level Stable Bar offers draft ale, a superb wine list and Mayfair’s most exclusive whisky list of fine and rare malts, accompanied by nightly jazz and blues performances from the ‘Joanna’ piano.

The two mezzanine floors will each accommodate private dining parties of up to twenty guests.

On the lower level, The Old Fashioned Bar specialises in, as one might expect, variations of the Old Fashioned Cocktail with an accompanying short list of classic cocktails from the 20s and 30s, whilst the private dining room is an elegant and characterful panelled room with complete privacy.
