From Wandsworth to Holland Park

Saturday, August 09th , 2025

Vori is a fairly new Greek restaurant in Holland Park that serves some good dishes and has an unusually well-priced wine list. I particularly enjoyed a stew of Portobello mushrooms with Kariki blue cheese and honey butter. It is hard to find good Greek food in London, but this is somewhere that I would happily return to.

I also went back to Chez Bruce, a venerable Wandsworth restaurant. Sister to La Trompette in Chiswick, it has a similar and very successful formula. Combine a large and appealing a la carte menu with good cooking, fairly priced wines and friendly service. This sounds obvious enough, yet few London restaurants manage to pull it off. Certainly, very few pull it off as well as Chez Bruce.
