Chez Bruce

Amazing food and lovely service. Great seasonal menu.

Had the set menu and usually love the food here. However, the fig starter was incredibly sweet and the almond biscuits which came with the buttermilk pudding were so sickly sweet I couldn’t eat more than 2 small bites. I loves puddings and have a sweet tooth but even I couldn’t eat it!
A lovely dinner out just a shame the chef went so sugar mad. I don’t think I’ve ever had such a sweet meal before or complained about anything being too sweet. A shame as everything wasn’t overly seasoned when I last went in June. A disappointment.

Sensational quality food in a relaxed setting. I tried the tasting menu with wine flight but there were so many amazing choices I will be returning

Always a great place to go for a treat. Outstanding food, wine and service

Best restaurant in London. Food and Staff are superb. Worth travelling if you’re not lucky enough to live within walking distance. Always raising their standards and never disappointing.

Excellent. Our first lunch visit and we were not disappointed, just as fabulous as dinner service. A thoroughly fabulous afternoon for a very special anniversary lunch.

Amazing food, would highly recommend this restaurant. We had the foie gras and steak tartare, followed by the cod and grouse. Everything was cooked to perfection and was so tasty. We arrived early but our table wasn’t ready - there were tables available but I think they must stagger the service. When we went back, our table was next to an open door so it was a bit cold. The waiter moved us quickly but we then ended up underneath the air conditioning. A lovely waiter moved us again to a
bigger table with no draughts, and it was just perfect. Thank you for a lovely evening, we’ll be back.

Always a pleasure to go to Chez Bruce - lovely atmosphere, delicious food and wines. Lunch is also good value at £42 for three courses.

It was our first time trying Chez Bruce. We really enjoyed our meals; the food was of a very high standard and the staff were attentive and welcoming.
The restaurant was filling up and noise levels were slightly too high - but a sign that the restaurant is doing well.
Overall it was a lovely meal to celebrate a birthday.

Lovely food and great service. Would come again to try their ever changing menu.

Delicious food and great value for lunch. Not too loud so a good place to go to catch up with friends or as a couple.

Fabulous food, perfect service - and given the quality of the food and experience, pretty good value!

Superb as always ...

Lovely food & wine, and great service!

Chez Bruce never disappoints. It is a very special neighbourhood restaurant. The food is amazing and the service outstanding. My kids were equally impressed.
One of my favourite restaurants.

Lovely atmosphere and a great venue. Intimate without feeling too cramped.

Excellent all round, can’t fault it. Exceptional food and service, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Great for an intimate special occasion.

Lovely ambiance, great staff and beautiful desert. Excellent for special occasions!

My favorite restaurant on the planet is Union Square, Café in New York City. My daughter went there for the first time when she was five weeks. She probably went over 50 times before we left New York City. They always treated her like she was the regular guest that she actually was, despite being in a stroller for the first 20 times or so she was there. To me, it is the ultimate experience in the hospitality. The first time I ever went to Chez Bruce was in 2007. I immediately felt like I was at Union Square, Café on the other side of the Atlantic. Michelin star food that makes you feel like you are in your local neighborhood café. And I have felt that way each time I have been since then. It should not be missed.

Chez Bruce remains London's best restaurant. We have visited the restaurant for over 15 years and it never disappoints. Exquisite food and wine, perfect service in a relaxed setting. It's understandable why this is the restaurant London's favourite for chefs and foodies!

I generally don't like writing reviews, but on this occasion I am compelled to do so. A kind of standing ovation to Chez Bruce!
It was my husband's birthday yesterday and I had chosen lunch at Chez Bruce as a surprise. As we had not been there in a couple of years, it was important to me that he had a good experience.

The cuisine was absolutely fabulous, faultless to the last delicious morsel. The wine list was excellent, very extensive and well selected.
The fish dishes we chose (cod and hake) were cooked to perfection, and the puddings were to die for. In fact we had three between us and were even presented with a small birthday cake and candle (which we took home in a little box) to savour later... with some truffles... and some wafer thin shortbread. Such a thoughtful touch. Who wouldn't want to return, if you are looked after so well?!

We felt completely spoilt by the friendly and impeccably trained staff, all headed by Alex the manager who made us feel so welcome.
A big thank you to you all for making our visit so special on so many levels.

We will definitely be back again soon.

We visited Chez Bruce last night. I had been given a gift voucher and when I arrived gave this to our waitress. We had the tasting menu and the food was excellent. The way we were treated by Alex The restaurant manager was appalling. He came to us during the second course to advise us that the voucher could not be used, as this was an email confirmation only and not the original. He telephoned the friend who had given us the voucher at 10.30pm insisting that I spoke to her. Even then he refused to accept the voucher. He hassled us throughout our meal. Although the food was good, the entire evening was spoilt by this member of staff, who had no customer skills and who seemed completely disinterested in us ar any one else. It’s so disappointing as we have been visiting Chez Bruce for years, for 50th birthdays , New Year’s Eve celebrations and special treats but sadly this will be our our last visit.

The restaurant was noisy and hot and both the fish and meat dishes were undercooked and sent back. We were both very ill after the meal.

As ever, Chez Bruce hits all the top notes. Tasting menu, fig and goats cheese starter, fine balance and wonderful light red (sicillian?)to accompany, haddock was unusual in all the right intriguing ways (cucumbers!!), shellfish ravioli was superbly rich, sweet unctuous and wine well matched. Grouse was beautifully presented, so tender.

Chez Bruce is always a great choice. Fantastic food and great service that’s always on the right side of attentive,

Fabulous starter, fois grais and chicken liver. Really lovely pork roast main then yummy dessert of raspberry and almond tart. Definitely recommend, best restaurant in south London.

I was pleasantly surprised to see they had a tasting menu. All the food was fantastic and the matching wines were very well picked out. Sommelier and the rest of the staff were knowledgeable and very helpful.

Delicious Côte de beouf mmmmm
Always a treat
Elegant And relaxed dining

Fantastic food! Great place to go for a special occasion. Flavours exceptional, wine good too.

Absolutely outstanding in every way. The food was delicious and the service just spot on. Don’t live close by and don’t get much chance to get out but the next opportunity we have, we will definitely be back! Thanks for a great lunch 👍🏻

Quite good for a neighbourhood restaurant. Interesting menu options. Service was very good. Food was good but not exceptional and overall our experience didn’t live up to the hype.

Well executed food.
Ambience a little too noisy.
Service good but should have been better for the satnadard of food and restaurant. Waited a while to receive water, menu & for someone to take the order. Wine for the main course did not arrive and we had to ask for it.
Their sister restaurant The Glasshouse is my preference of the two.

Had a really lovely birthday lunch here - the staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. I did the taster menu with paired wines and it was fantastic. Highly recommended!

Came here on a Sunday evening for a wedding anniversary. Had the tasting menu with wine.
Enjoyed delicious food, a lovely selection of wines, and spot on service. Perfect!

I have had mixed experiences here over the years which is a shame as it is so local to me. I used to come a lot but not been much in last 2-3 years due to unpredictability but I have to say it was back to its top notch standards on Saturday night.

We had a lovely evening. The food was exquisite, the wine waiter even let us taste some extra wines. It was perfect.

Pre arrival the confirmation service was outstanding and we were advised to change our booking to eat in the main dining room. Our starters were good, and main courses were classic and well prepared but unexciting. The cheese board was good and above average, puddings were ok. Expensive wine list. Total £100 per head seemed poor value, I expect a bit of culinary magic for this amount.

Always excellent and didn’t disappoint this time

Outstanding food and service always. My go-to restaurant.

As ever, the food was exceptional. The service was attentive without being intrusive and the staff knowledgeable & happy to suggest wine etc. within budget. Although it is not somewhere to go for a cheap meal, it is great value, given the extremely high standards they have set and maintained. I will continue to recommend everyone visits.
