Sturdy good looks and a simple yet stylish menu make The Brasserie a popular haunt for the affluent locals of Wandsworth Common. Split between a congenial bar, a more secluded restaurant and an airy conservatory, this is an appealing spot for lunching business types and family get-togethers alike. Punchy cooking with a modern British lilt includes salmon and crab fishcakes, home-made local beefburgers and smoked eel with smoked bacon and black pudding mash.
