I have just returned from a celeberatory dinner at Chez Bruce, Wandsworth. What can I say - food fantastic, service exemplary, wines and wine list truly inspiring.


Not cheap but that very special occasion I can recommend it wholeheartedly. 8 years in SE London and this was my first visit - I've wasted so much time.

Chez Bruce for me has to be one of the best restaurants in London. We've been a number of times & have never been disappointed!


I'm sorry to say I was disappointed with Heston's dinner, in my opinion I think it's over hyped. We were served flat champagne on arrival & the food was average, in fact the dessert was so bitter my friend & I could not eat it.


My top 4 in London (in no order) are Chez Bruce, Pollen Street Social, Gordon Ramsay Royal Hospital Road (all his other restaurants don't compare to this one) & River Cafe!

Well I thought Dinner was great fun. More of an experience to do once than somewhere to go back to.

Surprised by the flat champagne - that's hard to get wrong surely...?


Never heard of Pollen St Social... will look into it.


My fave restaurant at the moment is actually Zucca on Bermondsey Street. A lot, less swank than the others on here, but simple delicious food and reasonable wine list.

I think you have to get 3 courses (it's a fixed price menu). Maybe around ?170 with a cheaper wine, if you want aperitifs and coffees. Definitely a "special occasion" place, but possibly the best food in south London.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
