"There’s a touch of class in everything Chez Bruce does, so it’s no surprise that this extends to an immensely classy bread offering. The old-school French classic in Balham bakes all of its bread in-house and approaches every guest with a glowing tray of sourdough and focaccia. The latter is perfect for mopping up the shellfish sauce of Chez Bruce’s lobster ravioli. A special word for the parmesan crisps too. They’re tremendous." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
