This restaurant holds particular significance for me because it’s the first ever Michelin starred establishment that I had a the pleasure to dine in. The start of things to come you might say. So why Chez Bruce all the way out in Wandsworth? Well, blame Marco Pierre White for that one. Marco of course made his name on the very site that the restaurant stands at today. Of course back then it was named ‘Harveys’ and went on to achieve two Michelin stars before White moved to The Oak Room at The Hyde Park Hotel and became the youngest chef in the world, at that time, to win the maximum of three stars. Sentiment was one reason but pricing and quality was another. £29 ($37.46 US) for three courses on a Saturday lunchtime seemed like a brilliant deal plus the menu was actually varied and interesting stacked with attractive dishes. The chef and owner Bruce Poole brought out a book not long after our visit and it’s one of my most prized. Please Please click on the picture and purchase it – you’ll thank me!
Well done Chez Bruce, once again the best meal I’ve eaten out, everything simply sensational, I wish i had had a portion of the chocolate salted caramel tart to myself. I have been there numerous times and never thought it could get better Brilliant

Only ate at Chez Bruce because our original anniversary dinner choice (Thames river cruise) was cancelled at short notice, after we had already booked our hotel: in Wandsworth. So instead of cancelling whole trip to London, I decided to try CB and see if they could fit us in as they were only about 30 minute walk from our hotel. It being a Tuesday night they could fir the two of us in. I have Bruce Poole’s cookbook so was very excited to try the restaurant and the food was really good. Very similar to La Trompette in Chiswick and I think they share ownership. My starter of Enoki mushroom salad with romaine, rump and Comte was tremendous. My cousin also thought her mackerel rillettes were first class. We differed on our mains; I choose the grouse which was again superb. My cousin complained that her pork loin dish had too much meat and not enough of anything else. She was back on board with the dessert of white chocolate rum and raisin ice cream. I had the cheeseboard which was good but I have had better. Good wine list, with some decent value half bottles. However, the bottle of Pomerol I ordered wasn’t available but the sommelier suggested an alternative, cheaper bottle which was very good. Bread was very nice. Service was ok, not great. There was some stretching in front of us to pour wine, take plates which both my cousin and I were annoyed by. But this small gripe aside, I thought £200 excluding wine was pretty good value.
