Albannach flies the flag of Scotland as deep in enemy territory as you can get: right on Trafalgar Square.

The decor is sleek and modish, but the house speciality is welded to tradition: the drinks list here is all about the whiskies. A map on the menu details the origins of the Highland and Island malts, the likes of a 16-year-old, sherry-matured, cask-strength Bowmore (£13), Bruichladdich 15-year-old (£9) and Bunnahabhain 1968 Auld Acquaintance (£65).

The menu isn't capped at Scots varieties: there are also Irish and Japanese whiskies, along with bourbons. The cocktails (around £8) aren't solely reliant on the Gaelic grain, but you may as well investigate a Smoky Martini (Tanqueray or Smirnoff Black with a spoonful of Laphroaig 10-year-old) or Albannach Stag (Pampero Special rum, fresh berries, angostura bitters, lime, ginger ale).

Salmon and haggis feature prominently among the decent if pricey food offerings.

3/5

An odd evening of pluses and minuses. On the plus side, the staff are charming and attentive and the food is pretty much OK. The major minus is the fact that this has to be the noisiest place in London. The restaurant is in the bar and the deafening din from a bunch of beer-swilling M&S-suited oiks quite ruined the evening for us.
