Bruce Poole and Nigel Platts-Martin opened Chez Bruce in 1995. From the outset, it was their intention to serve the very best food and drink but within a relaxed, informal yet thoroughly professionally orchestrated environment. At Chez Bruce we are not particularly into gadgets and tricks in the kitchen. Home-made charcuterie, slow cooked braises, offal, warm and cold salads, classical desserts and bread-making could be listed as specialities. We also take the cheese board very seriously indeed and it forms an integral part of the restaurant's day-to-day life. The Directors of the restaurant are fanatical wine-lovers and are very proud of the restaurant's wine list which truly is one of the very best in the UK.
“First time back to Chez Bruce in over 9 years and it didn’t disappoint. Absolutely first class food and service - exceptional! Easy to see why this place has stood the test of time, still innovating and delivering at the highest level.”
“I’ve dined here a few times over the years and I’ve never been disappointed. Sunday was no different. The wild garlic soup with snails and croutons was sumptuous. Great depth of flavour with silky texture and the snails were a million miles away from the chewy garlic nuggets that people accuse l’escargot of being. They were tender bites of umami. The veal main was delicious. However it was the creamed cabbage laden with garlic and the delicious roast squash that made the dish and I am carnivore bias.”
“Chez Bruce is a gem. I feel very lucky to have such a high class restaurant in my local area. Took my wife for our Anniversary and it was amazing. Lovely dining room, great ambience. The food is spectacular, and very reasonable price wise for the quality offered. Service was impeccable, polite and prompt. They pay attention to detail, that makes the difference! Definitely recommend Chez Bruce!”
“Almost perfect dining experience - delicious food (classic, but each dish had a tiny unexpected tweak such as pickled cucumber with lobster raviolo that made it special) and perfect service. The sommelier helped us pick a wine that matched both our main courses very well. Our one regret is we didn't get the cheese, which looked delicious. Next time!”
“Wonderful dining experience in London. The staff was so welcoming and attentive. The food was delicious, generous portions and great attention to detail. The price is not that high given the quality of the service, the length of the meal, and comparing to other restaurants in London where you are going to spend £50 whatever you have... Overall, an amazing experience for a special occasion.”
