The Glasshouse

Located next to Kew Gardens tube station, this busy neighbourhood restaurant is sister to acclaimed Wandsworth eatery Chez Bruce (see entry). A smart and elegant space with a bright and breezy contemporary décor, it draws a mix of loyal devotees. The precise, confident cooking is driven by seasonality and the imaginative dishes are unfussy and modern, flavours are well defined and the cooking displays a lightness of touch. Take a warm salad of wood pigeon with balsamic vinegar and deep-fried truffled egg, or perhaps a ragout of smoked haddock, king prawn and mussels with vermicelli, crème fraîche and chives. To finish, home-made vanilla yogurt with rhubarb and raspberry and sherry trifle vie for attention. The appealing menus come at fixed prices (and includes a seven-course tasting option), while the wine list is top-notch, with a good choice available by the glass.
