Located in a posh area, All Blue's Bar offers a unique experience righ from its entry procedure to the live performances inside. Being a typically small place, the entry is restricted to as and when people leave. So if you are planning to drop in on a weekend, I suggest you reach there by 9 or maybe even earlier if possible if you want to avoid standing in the cold for a minimum of 45 minutes! Once in, just enjoy the music and swing to the music.

Boisdale of Bishopsgate is conveniently located near the hotel I was staying in London and my…read moreresearch indicated this establishment has some of the best haggis in London. So, I'd be remiss not to dine here. As for beer, Whitstable was on tap and described to me as "like a Guinness." I was in the mood for a Guinness and I think this beer was more satisfying for my tastes. Slightly malty and refreshing. Good creamy head on it. Smooth flavor, texture and clean finish. Now the haggis seems to come in a starter size and entree size. I went with the smaller size as I wanted to save room for Sheperd's Pie. I can't help but think of Bart Simpson asking Groundskeeper WIllie "what's haggis?" Willie goes on to describe haggis in an unflattering manner. And jokes like this have perpetuated the idea that haggis is gross. But this haggis was the single best thing I ate during my London food holiday. Shaped like a meatball with a tight snap on the exterior, similar to the snap on a sausage. Nice complexity. The grains in the haggis were not mere filler, but lent a crunchy textural nuance and complimented the meat with an oaty flavor. Soft and savory. The hot messy interior is made for gravy. Gravy adds concentrated umami beefiness. Mash is very smooth with a perfect balance of salt and savory potato flavor. The consistency is both very smooth and on the denser end of the spectrum. Shepherd pie plays on a similar potato and meat theme with the addition of cheese. First, there is the crust, a soft, gooey, stretchy layer of cheese, which lends an addicting fattiness and tang to the pie. After penetrating and pulling back this top layer, the meaty lamb aroma is intoxicating. A layer of potatoes tops the mince and seems to be stewing in a gravy. Eating it becomes an addicting mess of meat gravy cheese and mash. If you are in London and looking for a classic meal, make a trip to Boisdale of Bishopsgate.

My coworker and I arrived at 8pm on a Thursday and planned to eat in the bar area but after speaking with the hostess we were surprised to find that a reservation didn't show for their table and we were seated in the downstairs dinning room. We had some Lagavulin scotch, a haggis appetizer, and the evenings special which was a stuffed chicken. It was all absolutely perfect! Then we ordered a couple Montecristo Cuban cigars to enjoy after dinner outside in the entry alley. I've eaten all over the world and this was a perfect experience!

The only evidence of its existence is an orange sign and an open gate inviting you down stairs. Once down there you enter a small basement bar with a few chairs and tables looking towards a tiny makeshift stage. There's a certain charm about it, almost as if you have found your way into a secret club. Everyone sets out to have the best time possible and a close knit group of local artists organise music showcases. The usually small crowds here respect the music which is nice and this enhances most people's enjoyment of the evenings. In my experience the music at Oliver's isn't that brilliant but it is still worth checking out and the artists usually enjoy a bit of light banter with the crowd. The bar area is based in a tiny room next to the performance area and when busy, this area gets very congested. It is also where the toilet is. For some reason people insist on standing there and so if you need to relieve yourself then leave yourself plenty of time to get to the loo.

The restaurant called me and I returned their call to let them know I was still on my way. I felt like a total jerk for arriving so late, but the staff was incredibly welcoming. I decided to go solo for high tea, wanting to treat myself. They found me the perfect table where I could people-watch and enjoy the piano music from a comfortable distance. This high tea room is absolutely stunning and was made to be photographed. My waiter was incredibly patient and didn't judge me when I was taking pictures. In fact, he said that's what this room is meant for. There were a wide variety of teas, and I think the teas were the best part of the experience. The pastries were also delicious, but I didn't love any of the finger sandwiches. I'll definitely be back soon. Thanks for being so gracious despite my tardiness!
