Albannach showcases the best the food and drink industry has to offer.

“Beautiful beautiful place. Had read quite a bit about Albannach and then brought a date here to check it out. Well I looked great and in the know, to bring her to this undiscovered gem. Encyclopaedic Whisky selection, exquisite fine-didning restaurant, staff in trendy kilts and a fantastic Basement Cocktail Lounge. This venue has it all. Albannach is an undiscovered Gem.” Rating: — Liam Brady, London (13 Aug 2005)

“It's time to move over, Mr. Sanderson Hotel, there's a new kid on the block! I just love this spin on Scotland and the beautiful men in kilts. Plus, where else can you find such a cool place south of the Soho crowd? I love it!” Rating: — Emma S, London (13 Jun 2005)

“This tastefully decorated intimate yet grandiose venue has much to offer compared to the normal bleak London restaurant. It boasts true flavor and Scottish Culture along with fantastic food. I enjoyed a friday evening dinner there with friends only to be pleasantly surprised by the sheer perfection in quality of the food and drink. I've heard that this venue has just recently opened and was suprised by the smoothness of the experience. There is a lovely cocktail bar in the lower level which serves some interesting drink choices. I think I had a blackberry fizz which was quite nice and my friends enjoyed some pineapple drinks. I really like the way they keep the whole tartan theme throughout...they have some intimate seating areas lined in tartan which are arc'd booth seating. If you get a chance to try one of the hundreds of whisky choices they have a well educated bar staff to help you with your selection. I tried a nice whiskey that had a light smokey flavor, it was age” Rating: — Michelle Silva, London (06 Feb 2005)
