Chez Bruce in Wandsworth

Este es mi restaurante favorito en Londres. Siempre ocupado, así que asegúrese de reservar. Hay algo para todos. El servicio es increíble. La comida es para morir.

Magnífico. La comida era excelente, simplemente delicioso. El personal era muy educado, el lugar estaba ocupado y había un gran ambiente. Llevo viniendo aquí intermitentemente más de 20 años, no decepciona.

Recuerdo cuando This wa Harveys y, luving en Nightingale Lane, en ese momento esto era solo un paseo. Fue Nouvelle Cuisine entonces en 1988. Todavía tiene esa sensación y calidez y no podía faltar la atención al detalle o las galletas al final, bien hecho pone la multa en Fine Dining.

Ha estado yendo aquí regularmente durante 10 años y nunca decepciona. Genuinamente uno de los mejores restaurantes y restaurantes más confiables de Londres. El personal es increíble y el restaurante con la mejor relación calidad-precio en Londres en mi opinión. Sigue así chicos 10/10.

Vinimos aquí para una cena de cumpleaños notable y no nos decepcionó. La gama de entrantes, principales y postres era más que suficiente para todos y cuando llegó la comida estaba absolutamente delicioso. Mi entrante de rillettes de Caballa con pastel de pescado puso el listón y el principal de Bacalao Asado con puré de aceite de oliva era sublime, todo en el plato era perfecto y felizmente podría haberlo comido de nuevo de postre! Fui por la Grande Assiette de Fromage solo porque nunca tendría la oportunidad de probar tal variedad de queso de nuevo, pero podría haber tenido muy fácilmente cualquier cosa (todo) del menú de postres! El queso llegó en orden y fue un verdadero revelador de ojos, especialmente el queso de vaca Bélgica. el servicio fue discreto y eficiente - como era de esperar - y fue un verdadero placer cenar allí. Compramos nuestras propias botellas de vino para aprovechar su descorche, principalmente por la celebración de cumpleaños y sabíamos lo que queríamos.

So disappointed with this place. We’ve been going for many many years and were always so happy with the experience, but I think they’ve now lost their way. The staff aren’t of the same standard, being asked ‘are you still working on it’ when I’m 1/2 way through my main course cutlery in hand is just ridiculous. Also having to ask for a slice of bread with the pate antipasta is also not great. Taking away every little thing from the table whilst we were eating was also very distracting and annoying, like they’ve only got a few plates and knives ? The cheese board was a big draw always offered with a hefty supplement which was fine as the cheese choice was good and you could choose what you liked. Not anymore! Even asking for soft cheese only, a condescending waitress came up and said 15 minutes after our request “the plate was already prepared” I was taken a back and then she followed it up by well you can eat it madam . Which was a very odd thing to say. I did say no we can’t as we only like soft cheese. Eventually a plate of soft only cheese arrived, but what an unnecessary situation. Sadly we wouldn’t recommend this restaurant any longer. Crowning glory as we exited one of the waitresses was coming back through the front door with a bottle of lucozade and a cheap sandwich. I feel so sad.

We’re chez Bruce for lunch. Our first time and surely not the last. Lovely staff. Very attentive and discreet at the same time. Appetisers were excellent. Had the veal and it was exquisite. Others had the ox cheek rendang, cod goujons etc. All excellent. Had the cod for main and it was fresh, well cooked, the mash was smooth. Tasted the pork which was very tasty and tender. Desserts are lovely. The figs were very good. We had a very crisp Bandol white and everyone found it very pleasant. See you soon Chez Bruce

Splendid meal, best I’ve have in a long time. Attentive service and beautiful presentation. The started of lobster ravioli with bisque and brown shrimps was delicious as was the main of roasted veal rump. Couldn’t fault it,.

We have always visited this restaurant when we are in London. The food and service are consistently very good. For a price fixed restaurant it offers many choices and substantial servings. Our party of 4 enjoyed the delicious tuna appetizer. For mains, the lamb was great, and chicken and tenderloin were very good. Crème brûlée was a little disappointing, raspberry tart was good. It is worth the trip to have dinner at Chez Bruce.

If anyone asks me what my favourite restaurant is, well, this is it. It’s sensible, adult, grown up food, for the serious food lover. The whole, delightfully understated operation, oozes knowledge, experience, skill, and integrity. It’s as good as it gets.

Chez Bruce never disappoints. Calm, warm aptmoshere where you can enjoy the company of your dining companian rather than the neighbouring tables. Thoughtful service.

It is hard to fault Chez Bruce, not that I would want to. We love the ambiance of the place, the amazing staff and the excellent food. We enjoy our lunches and dinners here, which are always happy and memorable occasions. The food is what I would describe as modern European, some times with a twist such as pork cheeks in an Asian broth. The dining room is traditional - comfortable and conveying a positive and happy atmosphere. As well as dining casually here, we have had dinners in the private function room and spent a number of New Year’s Eves in the restaurant. I always think that the menus is fairly priced. The staff are accommodating and generous. There is not much more to say other than that in a world of uncertainty, Chez Bruce is consistently excellent!

No complaints about the food or service but £4.95 for a small bottle of water; random and huge supplements on certain dishes and massively overpriced courses make Chez Bruce feel like a rip-off. £15 for an eighth of a Bakewell tart means the whole tart was valued at £120 !!! Really ? Customers are sleep-walking into paying ridiculous money for good but not amazing food. Chez Bruce needs to take a reality check. I will not be going to Chez Bruce again. I would rather give money to charity than line the pockets of the greedy.

A very pleasant restaurant. We tend to use for special celebrations, convenient for the station if you don't want to drive.

This restaurant continues to excel itself. A warm welcome and choice of table was a good start. Well mixed gin martinis, tasty parmesan biscuits and fabulous focaccia to nibble while perusing the menus. Very extensive wine list to suit any palate. Starters - lobster raviolo was superb, stuffed full of lobster, with a very tasty lobster bisque. Mains - succulent venison loin and glazed sausage bursting with flavour as was the flaking Cornish hake with shellfish cassoulet. Dessert - deliciously hot chocolate pudding rounded off an evening of tasting delights. Excellent, professional service through out the evening too. Just two observations. The complimentary truffles have dwindled over time from a small bag to just two nowadays. And, the wooden chairs, without any padding, were really uncomfortable after a while - maybe I'll bring my own cushion next time! Otherwise a superb dining experience!

An absolutely superb experience and gastronomic feast. Four of us went for lunch and we shared a number of starters and main courses. Every dish was amazing. I didn’t share my dessert which was also brilliant. Staff very good as well. Definitely worth a visit and good value.

Not been for awhile, but it still as good as ever. Waiter guy with the big hair was very funny and very good as was the food. Please please please bring back the cheese!

We are locals and regulars at Chez Bruce and tonight sadly it didn’t live up to the usual high standards. A couple of us had the lobster ravioli which was delicious! However the main course of pork was so disappointing and lacking in flavour. The sommelier made a dismissive comment about our 3rd growth bottle of wine (worth £90)) and when asked to decanter one of our bottles of red he responded ‘why would you want to decant that’ not the type of service/response you expect from this type of establishment.. tables are far too close together, please make this an enjoyable experience with the usual lovely staff.

We had some great food. The venison main course was superb. Their wine list is extensive but I took some bottles of wine and paid corkage (a tad expensive at £40 a bottle). The sommelier was very helpful and service friendly and efficient. Classic European cuisine at a reasonable price for the quality.

A well-regarded restaurant just opposite Wandsworth Common, we were shown to a small upstairs room which I initially thought was somewhat lacking in atmosphere but that may be because initially we were the only two in there. It got busier later and was pleasant enough, but I think if I were going again I might ask to try downstairs. We had some very nice rosemary bread to munch on whilst perusing the menu, which was a fixed price for three courses. Presumably they would have come to some arrangement if you only wanted two. I was a bit unsure about which wine to choose from the extensive selection, and the sommelier helpfully suggested a L’Anjou Blanc which was a new one on me but went down very well. The menu offered a decent selection with six or seven choices per course. I started with the Tuna Tartare which came with marinated peppers, tuna aioli, lemon, fennel and basil oil. It was a lovey dish, light and refreshing but full of flavour and a great start to the meal. For main course I opted for the Cornish hake with shellfish cassoulet, prawn croustillant, bourride sauce, celeriac puree and mustard. This too was attractively presented and very tasty, with a decent slab of well-cooked fish. Across the table, the Pork belly and fillet with crisp black pudding potato, caramelised apples, celeriac purée was also very well received. The desert choice didn’t grab me quite as much as expected, but that’s probably just personal preference. In the end I went for the Chocolate tart with stout ice cream and caramel. Very good, but a little heavy after the meal perhaps and I didn’t think the caramel was especially noticeable. Maybe I should have just gone for the crème brulee. We finished up with a latte which was decent enough although the accompanying chocolates (they shouldn’t really be listed as plural, there’s only one each) were just a small cocoa powder dusted truffle. Other than that though, a very enjoyable meal, with friendly helpful staff and great food.

Management made no effort to control the raucous and loud behavior of the four guests at a nearby table. In fact, the sommelier actually helped contribute to their obnoxiousness. As for the food, there seemed to be something wrong with my wife's main course (it tasted "off") and she was only able to take a couple of bites. We brought this to the attention of the management and their response was to credit the supplement charge of the dish. Overall, I think the restaurant was not deserving of its Michelin star, certainly not that evening.

The food and service was excellent The front of house team was very good and engaging with the guest without being intrusive And been able to bring your wine on Sunday night without corkage is amazing Will be back

Amazing food and drinks. Great atmosphere and Jake our waiter was fantastic, professional and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Would highly recommend

Returned after some time to this old favourite. Food rich but delicious - all except the grouse main course which was so tough we couldn’t even cut it for fear of it shooting across the restaurant. When we mentioned this to the server, she just said “oh”! Nothing else, no apology or anything. The rest of the food was great and the wine sommelier was fantastic spotting exactly what I was looking for.

A consistently brilliant restaurant; having moved away from the area we hadn’t been here in 4+ years but this is as good we remembered. Food gorgeous - the cavatelli to start and chateaubriand both superb. Service as always brilliant and the sommelier really knows her stuff. We’ll be back, whenever we next can. Thanks as always, Chez Bruce!

Excellent food and hospitality, how a restaurant should be staff attentive but not obtrusive. Wine recommendations excellent and not always the most expensive bottle. We slightly overspent but worth it. Restaurant had a buzz but couldn’t overhear any other table.

A superb lunch and met Bruce of Chez Bruce! Very good value for food for excellent quality and attentive service. Wine list extensive and very well curated.

This has got to be one of the best restaurants in London. The food is consistently top notch and it offers arguably the best value for money for this standard of food of anywhere in London. Family lunch where we tried a good selection of courses and every one declared a winner. There is a generosity, not just in terms of quantity but in the quality of ingredients, the seasoning and the attention to detail. No messing about with tasting menus just thoughtfully constructed, seasonal dishes expertly cooked. And - the cheese plate is a triumph. The team front of house quietly go about their business, friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and professional. What a treat!

Très bon accueil, cuisine exceptionnelle ainsi que la cave de belle qualité. Un prix qui correspond à la prestation.

The service is always second to none and all staff are exceptional, especially the sommelier. My favourite restaurant in London.

We’ve been meaning to come here for 2 decades but finally got round to it and thankfully were not disappointed. The three course menu is £77 which is decent value when compared to other high end restaurants. We had started of lobster ravioli and fish...

Well.....the most memorable moment of the evening was the passionfruit martini...an absute delight! The rest if the meal was definitely good and well prepared but lacked...how shall I say it-refinement...I really wanted to like it very much...but it was 'just'good...I had better meals here! Therefore...

I’ve been going to Chez Bruce since it first opened, but haven’t eaten there for maybe 6 or 7 years and I’m afraid it’s fallen way off it’s pedestal. What was once the most fantastic informal, special, cosy, relaxed fine dining experience has come to...

We had a lovely time here - it is expensive but worth it as a treat for the wonderful food and service. The lobster and the tuna starters were both delicious. The chateaubriand was melt in the mouth and the chips plentiful and delicious. Amazing...

I went with friends last Tuesday to Chez Bruce. I didn't go for a long time, so I was very curious to try it again. Inhad the Orange segments salad as starter. It was a very simple salad of greens and orange but with a...

This hidden gem nestled opposite leafy Wandsworth Common is a real delight. Warm & welcoming, with faultless, friendly service & a menu filled with delicious temptations. The rhubarb bellinis were a great start to a wonderful evening.

Food just absolutely outstanding. Everything we ate was perfect. We hadn’t visited for ages so were pleased it was just as great as we remembered! Thanks for a lovely birthday meal for my husband.

We had apparently a 2 hour 15 minute table allocation. We were the first sitting. After 1 hour 30 minutes we were ready to order from the dessert menu. We asked to share a cheese portion, and a dessert, and to have the cheese first....

Wow! We had the most wonderful evening yesterday dining at Chez Bruce. The attention we were giving from the staff was top notch.... friendly, helpful and kind. As for the food I don't think I've ever eaten such amazing food! The sommelier advised us on...

As good as it gets for classic cooking…the pigs trotter is the benchmark! The service impeccable and ambience was just perfect.

We recently had supper at Chez Bruce. The meal was of a high standard, but for the prices they charge, the dining experience could be improved. The restaurant atmosphere was very cold, from the attitude of the staff to the decor of the restaurant. Everything...

For 26 years I have been meaning to come to this gem on Wandsworth Common. My regret is I never visited sooner. The service is excellent and staff are knowledgeable on dishes and wine and deliver service with warmth. The food was excellent from starter...

Wow, what an experience. Visiting my sister who lives in London (ex pat), had dinner last night on our final night in London (12/8/2022-US DATE). Three course meal with a nice bottle of Pinot Noir, hit the spot. The food was really good and the...

I have been coming here for years. The first time was amazing, great food and generous hospitality. The latest visit however showed how restaurants are struggling to get experienced staff these days. We were hurried along at every moment, told we must order desert after...

We have the good fortune to live within 20 minutes of Chez Bruce. We tend to go only for special occasions these days as being pensioners we can't afford to go very often. Having said that we haven't had a disappointing experience here in nearly...

We returned to Chez Bruce for my son's birthday. A great welcome and lovely table in the window. Drinks were impeccable. Some classics remain on the menu and more seasonal offerings. Each course hit the brief and my 10 year old son still worships the...

For the first time in a long while we were not having our last family dinner together here before we returned to Australia. Tonight was a Covid-delayed dual special birthday celebration, for two of our group of three. Without us asking, we were allocated a...

We have been on numerous occasions always having an amazing time Service as always exceptional Food not so great went for Sunday lunch one soggy roast potato and a bit of cabbage With my very bland lamb Extortionate prices for a not very nice experience

I remember the glory days of this once vibrant restaurant. Sadly they are long since gone. The food was dull and not enjoyable served by staff who all behaved as if some relative had recently died . A pork dish described as Normande was more...

Lunch yesterday with friends was exceptional. Service was impeccable and the food delicious. A starter of piquillo pepper with brandade was flavourful and main course of roast cod was the best piece of fish I have eaten for a long time. Beautifullly coloured with moist...

Overrated. As we go a lot to France and to French restaurants in ldn we decided to try our local place. The service is very good, restaurant is very clean, the atmosphere is good for dates, business or just friends. Dishes look amazing on the...

Went here with some friends first time visiting and everything was incredible. The team were knowledgable and enthusiastic with many recommendations and pairing the wine to the meals we choose. The head chef visited our table as was happy and engaging. The meals we received...

Glorious lunch fantastic starters samosas spicy just fantastic Cod main course a10 lovely then blackberry ice cream service and team 10 out of 10 cannot wait to rebook

Just came back from Chez Bruce. Won't be going again. I can accept many things in a restaurant but not filthy crockery in a place that charges so much. Its a nice venue, but the side of chips came in what can only be described...

We had such an amazing time here, everything was perfect. We had three courses and chose different things but tried each other’s and every single thing was divine, absolutely delicious. The service was attentive and friendly too and Bruce also took the time to greet...

This is a pleasant neighbourhood restaurant with a good atmosphere. The food is competent but the dishes are a bit unimaginative and one feels that the restaurant knows its market and being well established with a Michelin star feels that it does not need to...

Visited with friends who live locally. Can’t fault the restaurant, a great spot, the service is friendly and the food is top notch. Great choices and the wine list strong. Recommended

A rather rustic restaurant. There’s a set menu of 3 courses , and they are flexible. The food in general was good to very good, but too salty. The cheautubriand was chewy sadly. The cheese course was a little over the top with 9-10 cheeses....

We dined here on Saturday night. The food was sublime, the services friendly and efficient and there is also a wonderful atmosphere - friendly, buzzing and chic. I cannot recommend Chez Bruce highly enough. The creativity and finesse of the chef lifts this restaurant above...

We had an absolutely wonderful time! The food was sublime and the service was faultless. We came for lunch on our anniversary and the staff even brought us a little extra sweet treat at the end of our meal which was a lovely extra touch....

Lunch with friends was the usual exceptional standard. Great classical cooking, good wines, lovely desserts and cheeses, professional unhurried service.

Everything we had was perfectly nice and competently cooked, but all just a bit boring and unimaginative. I don’t think the menu has really moved on at all since I first visited around 20 years ago, and I’m surprised really that it retains a Michelin...

We visited for an engagement meal for our "goddaughter" and were truly delighted with our evening. Service was excellent and the Chateaubriand and Lamb tagine the highlights. Can’t wait to go back.

We had dinner at Chez Bruce to celebrate a joint father/daughter birthday. The highly acclaimed restaurant more than lived up to expectations - from the charming woman who welcomed us at the door and our pleasantly attentive waitress to the knowledgeable sommelier and delicious food,...

We hadn’t been here for some time but thought it would be ideal for taking a couple we know and we were right. The food was excellent and the service and ambience were efficient and friendly. I had the lobster then cod then hazelnut pudding....

Our lunch was exactly as we hoped it would be. The food and wine were both spot on. Our lobster starter was well worth the supplement, it was exquisite, and the LambTagine was absolutely delicious. The food, the wine, the friendly knowledgeable staff, the ambiance,...

Food was delicious and an excellent service. The team was super friendly, Mr Bruce was checking all the tables himself, what a nice touch!! Greta, the girl who looked after us was just amazing very friendly and professional! A great experience! Highly recommended! Coming back...

Having eaten here many times before we had high hopes of our evening. Firstly, we were upstairs and rather neglected, the sommelier did not come to our table, the menu was surprisingly disappointing and none of the dishes had a wow factor as in previous...

Often when we decide on a restaurant to visit it’ll be because of reviews on Google Maps, Tripadvisor or the like. However with Chez Bruce that wasn’t the case. We went because everyone who’d already been told us it was brilliant - and they weren’t...

There were some genuine highlights here where the kitchen (and bar!) demonstrated the kind of ‘cleverness’ expected at this level…but there were also elements which were simply ‘well executed’ and which I’ve seen just as well executed at say Côte or Brasserie Blanc…and for a...

I came here for my birthday lunch with my mum and brother and had the most wonderful meal. We were seated by a table near the window and while browsing the menu were served delicious parmesan crisps, fresh focaccia and sourdough breads alongside homemade butter....

We found the service on our visit to be faultless. Also pleased they had acceded to our pre request concerning the table. But that is where the expectations of an amazing experience ended. We have never been to a Michelin Star restaurant where we were...

Limited menu particularly for main courses. The chateaubriand was served medium rather than medium rare as requested. Food arrived to table tepid rather than hot. Portions were on the small side. The service & ambience were both good. However, the food should have been the...

We have eaten at Chez Bruce on many occassions. The food is always delicious and the service is perfect - time to rest between courses rather than being rushed. Fabulous wine menu and the sommelier is very helpful. The lunch menu is very reasonably priced....

The food was amazing and the staff were really friendly and attentive. We went there for a celebration and it was perfect … all in all it was a very special evening.

Our go to restaurant for most special occasions. As usual the food and service was excellent. Have been going for over 10 years.

Over all very good - the staff make this restaurant - our Italian waitress was informative and friendly. The wine sommelier was a great help as well as being friendly too. The food was good, the only comment was my sea bass dish was too...

Wonderful dining experience. Excellent selection of choice on the fixed menu. Service is superior. Had pumpkin soap that I hope they have it on their menu when I return. It was marvelous. Been coming for 17 years and it has only gotten better.

Chez Bruce is a rare and precious find… the food is just fabulous, and at the same time the service and lovely vibe are relaxed and welcoming. Wondrous!

Wonderful lunch on Saturday. Absolutely delicious food, excellent wine recommendations and wonderful service. The prix fixe lunch menu is very well priced indeed for food of this quality - every mouthful was so full of flavour. Everything is done well from the superb parmesan biscuits...

A wonderful restaurant that clearly makes an effort on every level. From the amazing food, varied menu, great wine list through to the most attentive and welcoming staff. Chez Bruce remains my favourite restaurant in London!

Absolutely wonderful lunch yesterday. Fabulous food, impeccable service and great atmosphere. Thank you!

It was my wife’s birthday lunch. 12.45 booking on a Sunday. Cocktails, water and lovely bread and the lightness of the Parmesan biscuit was truly crisp. The food had it all flavour, looks good on the plate. I love the way the food matched the...

Top class service and very welcoming snd friendly staff. All our food was delicious and exquisitely presented. We would definitely return

My wife and I visited this French restaurant for the first time on the recommendation by friends. The choice of menu was very limited,he portions were small and the overall cost of the meal was excessive

Even on an autumnal Tuesday lunchtime, the restaurant is busy, and busy with an assortment of people who can give time to a serious lunch on a weekday. Everything was perfect from the pre-lunch drinks onwards. We were there for a special occasion but I...

A Truly lovely evening. I haven’t been to Chez Bruce for around 8 years but it still has Superb tasty food and quietly perfect service. Chez Bruce is a wonderful place to eat at!!

My wife and I visited with our son and daughter in law on Saturday evening. The place was busy but the layout allowed us to converse without raised voices. The staff were excellent and the food was amazing. Some great wine too. Everyone was full...

Back again after two years missing due to covid. Catching up with former business colleagues. Greeted warmly and seated on the Ground floor at a reasonable table, though a little close to the kitchen route. Staff were friendly and efficient providing a smooth service throughout....

Where to start? A warm welcome and well spaced corner table for two. Very attentive service starting with great gin martinis and the most luscious green olives. Crisp parmesan biscuits and the lightest, moistest focaccia I've ever eaten. Never chosen a lobster and scallop raviolo...

My Husband and I visited Chez Bruce on a Friday evening. From the moment we entered the front door we could not fault the service. Well done to the staff and management. Every person in the resturant whether it be you first visit or a...

An old fav. Have been coming here for many years. Food ALWAYS fabulous, staff lovely, ambience relaxed. Will keep coming back.

As always , a great experience with very fine food and wonderful wine. It was nice to be welcomed by Bruce too! Can’t wait to go again.

There are very few restaurants that get the food, service and ambience spot on, but Chez Bruce is one of them. From arrival and throughout the meal the service runs the fine line of being attentive without being intrusive. One of our party has serious...

Amazing food & restaurant loved it all. Couldn’t fault it. Very different to the standard restaurants, good value , very very friendly.

Amazing experience! Had the set 3 courses which also included a small cheese cracker and a bowl of breads to start. Also an extra anniversary cake plate, a pastry and a bag of chocolate truffles after our desserts! Faultless service. Lovely anniversary meal. Constantly topping...

What a nice restaurant this is. From the food, to the venue itself and the friendly staff. We celebrated my parents’ birthday party a couple of weeks ago and it was, as we already anticipated, a good choice. The set menu is great, with enough...

A fixed price menu that is wonderful. My starter was an unctuous and satisfying pasta dish with rich oxtail. My cod main course was also outstanding. The trimmings were also excellent from a hot, salty focaccia to the mini Parmesan toasts. The service was very...

Exceptional from start to finish. The staff are a credit to the restaurant and the food and drink were fantastic. I have no criticisms at all. Thank you for making my 40th birthday so special!
