Brula
-
This unpretentious neighbourhood bistro has charm, with its large stained-glass windows, worn parquet floor and lively atmosphere. The church pew seats are just uncomfortable enough to keep you from lingering too long, but otherwise Brula will make you feel right at home. The kitchen combines French classics with Modern European dishes, so the menu is full of tempting choices. Some lived up to expectations better than others. A salad of feta, aubergine and pea shoots scattered with pistachios and a sweet-sour honey dressing was a lovely marriage. Foie gras with toasted brioche and Madeira jelly was also a winner. But red gurnard with jerusalem artichokes, clams, mussels and aïoli was underwhelming, and sea bass overcooked. Roast chicken tagliatelle with morels, broad beans and tarragon was better. There are sister restaurants in East Sheen and Richmond.

An excellent restaurant in St. Margarets just over the bridge form Richmond. One of the top 5 restaurants in the area.
Lovely little restaurant with great food. I work away for business quite a bit and went to Brula for a work lunch/meeting. Eating out a lot as i do, i was grateful to find the staff both pleasant and knowledgable which is something that is very difficult to find in many restaurants around these parts, and in fact i most of london. My colleagues use the restaurant a lot and i can see why, they were greeted and treated well and i personally left wanting to return again soon!
I was invited to a girlfriends birthday at Brula last saturday evening, i have never been but was keen to try it out after having heard some great things and also some medeocre things about it. I think it is fair to say that i had the best saturday night in ages! There were 8 of us and we were given a lovely little room at the back of the restaurant where we could have a real giggle and sip champagne without the fear of being an annoying loud party. I think that there is always a slight concern that the service may be slower with big parties but the timings were perfect and the food was great, my feta salad was so pretty. My friend who'sbirthday it was, was given her dessert on a plate with her name written on it in chocolate, which was so much more spohisticated than a candle would be - stuck in her creme brulee!! I think that i will be taking my husband for our anniversary next month; i'm sure he will love it as much as i did.
