Haldanes
Crouching beneath the Albany Hotel, Haldanes continues the luxurious hotel vibe; think boudoir sophistication with Frank Sinatra crooning in the background - odd but successful. Food is excellent, courses are beautifully presented pieces of art: parcelled, drizzled and balanced to perfection. A crab and salmon starter was fresh, the lamb that followed tender and both were perfectly portioned to allow space for an unmissable lemon tart. Not the cheapest place in town, but worth every penny. Get your creative hat on, pen a winning note for their cute 'comment tree' (be it haiku or mini-essay) and you'll be granted a free meal next time.
