Chez Bruce London Reviews from The Last Year

Tripadvisor: 🙂 (23) Yelp: 😍 (2)

😍

Wonderful service, food and experience

5/5 by Joy N on 03/20/2023

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 experience!

😍

Fantastic food and service

5/5 by manidezed on 03/09/2023

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 delicious dressing of pecorino cheese that made it very special. As a main course I had the Roasted vodka with olive mash and gremolata. It was perfectly cooked and the mash was just the right balance. The desserts are always fantastic. Service impeccable. I will be coming again very soon.

😍

Amazing!

5/5 by Nina C on 02/22/2023

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.

😍

Wonderful

5/5 by Jo M on 02/19/2023

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.

When did Chez Bruce become the first Michelin star fast food restaurant ?

2/5 by Sheela M on 02/18/2023

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. We were very firmly told that we did not have enough time to have cheese first then dessert. At this point we had another 45 minutes. In true London style, it is far from a relaxing night out. If it is not parking meters you are stressing over the time limit, it is very expensive restaurants with a rigid agenda so they can make more money, ruining what was meant to be a special night out. Bruce, I was a very loyal client at the time you were building up your reputation. I was there at the New Years Eve dinner where your restaurant was nearly annihilated by coked up revellers. I will not be back.

A perfect evening

5/5 by balletbears on 02/16/2023

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 the perfect wines too. Overall a perfect evening. Thank you to all the team Andrea Harvey

😍

Outstanding!

5/5 by Scott H on 02/15/2023

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

😒

Good food but lacks atmosphere

3/5 by Ga Rob on 12/30/2022

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 was very rushed too, we were pressured to order, pressured to finish the meal and pressured to pay with speed and leave the restaurant. We probably will not return there in a hurry.

😍

This place is just fantastic! Haven't been in years and it

5/5 by Alice-Lara W. on 12/27/2022

This place is just fantastic! Haven't been in years and it continues to be excellent. The cooking is exceptional, the service on point, wine list great and cocktails perfect. It has a star and not hard to see why. Yet it's totally unpretentious. You could go for a date, with friends (as long as they're fine w the slightly elevated price) or family. It's so flexible. Highly recommend.

😍

A fantastic dining experience

5/5 by gallLou on 12/17/2022

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 to dessert. Looking forward to my return in 2023.

😍

Magnifique!

5/5 by David B on 12/09/2022

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 service was great until the end when we waited a little while longer for our desserts as we had to ask to see how long it would take. Then more time trying to ask for the check. It was definitely well worth it.

😍

😒

Not going back.

3/5 by Lynn L on 07/24/2022

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 as an unwashed pudding bowl. The pudding was identifiable, raspberry sorbet stuck around the outside and the rim. If we could see it they should have, not just a little but a lot? The cod was overcooked and over salted, the veal chop was tough and the knives blunt. I have given 3 stars as the staff are nice but instead if apologising for any of the issues they took money off the bill. I can't understand this as a way to make customers want to return? It doesn't. Its clearly lost its mojo.. or probably its once good chef... certainly its attention to detail.

😍

Absolutely incredible, a birthday dinner to remember

5/5 by Kirstie M on 07/21/2022

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 all the guests personally which I really liked. An absolutely unforgettable experience, I cannot recommend this place enough!

😒

Pleasant neighbourhood restaurant but not much flair

3/5 by Picky Traveller on 06/29/2022

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 push its boundaries. Although after the pandemic it is appreciated that restaurants have to make up lost ground , at £75 per head for the three course menu ,with supplements for many dishes, these are Michelin star prices without the Michelin star flair to back them up.

😍

A top choice for a celebration

5/5 by JamesOwen on 06/26/2022

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

😍

Hits and misses

5/5 by bcheong on 06/16/2022

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. Service was basic, they don’t describe the dishes. Plating also rudimentary 9/10 and that’s stretching it

😍

A truly superb restaurant

5/5 by Gillian100 on 06/12/2022

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 any neighbourhood restaurant and it should instead be considered one of the best restaurants in London.

😍

A Perfect Lunch

5/5 by Tee Hay on 06/11/2022

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. To top it off, we even got to chat with Bruce himself! It was a really special meal and we look forward to coming back.

😍

As good as ever

5/5 by Febmpeel67 on 05/30/2022

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

😒

Resting on its laurels

3/5 by Oscar985 on 05/29/2022

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 star since there are other non-Michelin places nearby doing better food (the French Table being one example where the cooking is far superior). One thing which has moved on is the price, £75 for the menu which might be acceptable if they didn’t then add £7.50 supplements for the nicer choices (or indeed a £12.50 supplement for the special if the day). I’m happy to pay those prices for exceptional cooking but this is a world away from that. The dessert menu is a particular disappointment with old staples such as chocolate brownie and crème brûlée making appearances - don’t get me wrong both lovely desserts but not what I expect at this price level, more your cote brasserie type of level (and actually the cote chocolate fondant is better). The staff are all very efficient if somewhat frigid and unsmiling, they could do with lightening up a bit.

Chez Bruce is a modern French restaurant in a lively area

5/5 by Ryan J. on 04/15/2022

Chez Bruce is a modern French restaurant in a lively area of South London, I went here for a late Mother's Day blowout. The service is exceptional, glass top ups were frequent as were offers for more bread and snacks in between courses. Staff are very friendly and accommodating and in absolutely no rush to turn over tables. The ambience grew in stature as the afternoon aged, staring off very quiet to then becoming delightfully lively an hour or so into our sitting.We tried a variety of food and wine, all of which were faultless - some of the things we had are pictured. It was a pricey lunch but for me fully worth it, especially since it's a business in our local area. I would certainly come here again when the menu changes!

😍

Delicious Lunch

5/5 by knowsabitaboutfood on 04/07/2022

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, Chez Bruce has it all! .

😒

Surprisingly disappointed

3/5 by Liversalts50 on 03/28/2022

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 visits - our bill was just under £500 for the 4 of us and was not worth it alas - come on Chez Bruce get back to your old self!

😍

Brucey bonus!

5/5 by Fritzromanov on 03/27/2022

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 wrong. We would have visited before, but we mistakenly thought it’d take ages to get there from Central London. In fact, even though no trains were running from Victoria to Wandsworth Common - the nearest train station - on the day of our visit, it was still only around a 30 minute trip by bus.

Our reservation was for lunch at 1pm but we rocked up at midday and hoped we could maybe grab a drink and get served a bit earlier. Instead we were escorted straight to our table - bonus!

We perused the menu whilst munching our complimentary Parmesan crackers. Chez Bruce doesn’t offer a tasting menu so a bit of thought was required, and this led as to a smoked salmon and leek wrap each for starter, one chicken and one pork for main and a carafe of white wine to share. We also had a lovely aperitif of a zingy blood orange Martini each and enjoyed an escelbefore the meal began.

The starters were tremendous. Salmon, colour of the deepest, er, salmon, wrapped in a thin, crunchy leek parcel which sat in a cracking sharp and sour sauce and a pleasant hint of dill. They were joined on the plate by a pair of light, smokey eel croquettes. Our mains were equally as good. My chicken breast had not a hint of dryness and came with a ballotine of chicken leg meat, buttery potatoes and a subtle but delicious truffle veloute. The bite of pork cheek I tried of the other main was so tender it was like inhaling meaty air and the morsel of apple tart with black pudding reminded me of a tarte tatin, but with a hint of savoury saltiness.

For dessert we both chose creme brûlée and that’s what we got. No bells and whistles, not even a coulis or berries, just silky custard richly speckled with vanilla and a bitter and crunchy but light burnt sugar topping. Perfect. A flat white each after our food and we were done.

Chez Bruce is a wonderfully relaxed and unpretentious place. All our servers made us feel welcome and there was none of the stuffiness of some Michelin-starred establishments. In fact the greatest compliment I can pay Chez Bruce is to say that anyone who might ordinarily feel intimidated and bewildered by a Michelin-starred restaurant would feel at ease here. They wouldn’t be daunted by tasting menus with dishes they might not like. Instead they could just enjoy fantastically cooked and presented food at, for the quality, a pretty reasonable price. We certainly did.

It works!

🙂 4/5 Review by ChattyPeace47 (09/04/2022 2:30 pm)

Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
