Boisdale restaurants, dubbed ‘a carnivore’s dream’ by the Evening Standard newspaper, have four establishments in London – in Canary Wharf, Belgravia, Mayfair and in Bishopsgate.

They feature a unique and very successful mix of fine food, a great wine list, an unparalleled range of whiskies, probably the widest selection of Cuban cigars in the world and the best classic jazz, blues and soul offering in London cast in a unique setting.

Boisdale finest Aberdeenshire dry aged steaks (accompanied by devilishly indulgent sauces) are repeatedly deemed ‘incredible’, though the adventurous enjoy Scottish-sourced treats, including wild Highland game, Hebridean shellfish, Loch Ryan Native oysters, Dunkeld smoked salmon, and roast Macsween’s haggis served with mash, neeps and the obligatory noggin of malt whisky.

Financial Times says that ‘Boisdale transform a great meal into an event… Anyone would think they want you to have a good time!’

, whilst Tatler comments ‘It’s hard to find a better venue in London for food, drink, service... and all that jazz.’

The fourth member of Belgravia's own Italian restaurant group; on our visit, steak and service were highlights of an experience that was otherwise rather lacklustre.

One beneficiary of the new Belgravia (often rightly credited as changing the perception of people about the area's possibilities) is the Thomas Cubitt gastropub group.

That group, though, has only one property in central Belgravia (its other properties being in Knightsbridge and Pimlico).

Which leads us neatly on to the latest outlet of the only organisation which can really claim to be Belgravia's own restaurant group.

From a single modest property in Victoria, back in the '90s, it has now accumulated three restaurants in the heart of Belgravia - Olivetto (Elizabeth Street), OlivoMare (just off Eaton Square) and now OlivoCarne (also on Elizabeth Street).

Architetto Pierluigi Piu | Olivocarne Restaurant

The intention, when designing this new venue of the London brand OLIVO, was to narrate about Sardinia (its proprietor’s home island) through iconographic references to the main points of its traditional economy (handicrafts – weaving, in this case – and sheep farming) and and the quotation of the works of a Sardinian contemporary artist, Eugenio Tavolara, who remarkably contributed, along his whole lifetime, to bring out and safeguard the traditional culture of that island.

Far from wishing to evoke Sardinia through trite images good for “low cost” tourism, the tale has been told with a language which winks at contemporary design, also resorting to the work of some skilled Sardinian artisans who have moulded a huge terracotta bas-relief of bucolic inspiration and given life to a crowd of peasants, horsemen, shepherds, wild boars and hunters which animate the restaurant’s walls.

Dining in style at David Cameron's favourite Italian | The Spectator

Sardinia lacks the glamour, grandeur and menace of Sicily, but it is still a fascinating exemplar of Mediterranean culture: the different historical strata stretching back to pre-history.

A sea-girt Aragonese kingdom, including the Languedoc, Sardinia and Sicily — that would have been a glorious flowering of civilisation and romance: Venus emerging from a scallop shell.

Every now and again, David and Samantha Cameron escape from No. 10 for dinner, and they often enjoy Sardinian food and wine at either of Mauro Sanna’s restaurants, Olivomare and Olivocarne, in Elizabeth Street, near enough to dart home if there is a crisis in the shop.

I had a Sardinian feast with Mauro the other night, and it was one of the finest Italian meals I have eaten, and drunk.

We started with a fortified Sardinian wine, Vernaccia di Oristano 1990, which had a long, slow, pungent, almost musty, even truffled, quality, unlike anything I had encountered.
