Located amidst a plethora of shops on Wandsworth Bridge Road, Joe's Brasserie is a relaxed, friendly place with an enjoyable atmosphere, and at the bar there is plenty to explore for those committed to finding their favourite cocktails.

The food is a contemporary modern British selection, but not astonishingly complex, so dishes might include homemade crab cakes with chilli jam, rocket and lemon; grilled lamb cutlets with potato gratin, braised red cabbage, spinach and jus, and lemon tart with crème fraîche. On Saturdays and Sundays, they are open for brunch, and serve a full English breakfast, in addition to eggs Benedict, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs and smoked chicken hash.

As you might expect from owner John Brinkley, there is a superb selection of wines, all sold at wine shop retail prices, not the usual restaurant ones, so this represents some of the best value in London.
