$$$$

• European • Clapham

Booked 15 times today

Trinity reopened in October 2015 with the same ethos, culture and team whilst recreating a new and refreshing backdrop - retaining its sophistication and remaining a restaurant of significance in Clapham. An alfresco dining area accommodates 16 guests, the dining room seating 40 guests that now have a clear view into an open plan kitchen with banquette seating surrounded by the soft hues of jade green and dusty heather pink. Staying true to his style of cookery, the new menu will focus on Adam’s interpretation of great classics in a relaxed and approachable setting. The kitchen presents a four course a la carte menu for a set price of £105 for lunch and £155 for dinner. The wine list continues to offer great value with the Chef's Cellar List (just add VAT and corkage), increasing both our quantity and quality and a overall extension to the main wine list of up to 400 bins now on display in the feature wine cellar on the ground floor.

• Modern European • Wandsworth

Booked 17 times today

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.

I have eaten at this restaurant on and off for over 30 years. It never fails to impress me and my guests. The food is always of the highest quality ( the cod option in main courses is always hard to resist) and decent in quantity. The wine list excellent at all levels and the staff charming, getting the balance spot on between attentiveness and “ leaving you alone “. Always my restaurant of choice for something special.

Amazing experience. Genuinely faultless from beginning to end. The drinks, food, ambience and whole experience was exactly what you would hope for from a hospitality venue of this calibre. It is somewhere we have wanted to try for a while, and it more than lived up to expectations.
