The paradigm for London restaurants that punch above their weight is Chez Bruce, the wildly successful Wandsworth eaterie named the other day (in Hardens Restaurant Guide 2008) as the London foodies' No 1 favourite place to chow down for over 45 a head.

Established by Bruce Poole on the site of Harveys a now-legendary venue, where both Marco Pierre White and Gordon Ramsay cut their haute cuisine fangs in the early Nineties its name is uttered with trembly respect by Claphamites and Stockwell-dwellers who can only dream of having such a classy joint as a neighbour.

Tim's daube of White Park beef, smoked bacon, baby onions and mushrooms simply whacked you with flavour.

Over a very superior lemon posset pie, a plate of Neal's Yard cheeses (notably the Strathdon Blue) and final glasses of Muscat and white Bel-Air Bordeaux, we agreed that Lamberts was a discovery, a diamond in the rough, a pilot-light of classy cooking in the wastes of Balham High Road, and that Chez Bruce does indeed have a south London rival snapping at its heels.

How enraging to find that one's newest discovery has been well and truly discovered ... Around 110 for two people, including wine The food here is predictably hearty: beef goulash and potato pancakes, pierogi, blinis with smoked salmon and caviar and platters of herrings, washed down with great Polish beers.

Lingering on from earlier times are a good many cheap and cheerful Indian restaurants, but in the autumn of 2003, new proprietors took over the electrical goods shop on the Boulevard and turned it into Gurkhas Diner, a venue offering something a bit different - Nepalese food.

Great efforts have also been made with the presentation of the dishes on the plate and there's a good deal of 'arranging in towers' going on.

The nakasee is also good - this is a bamboo skewer of chicken with another delicious sauce.

Gurkhali chicken is very good, with a green marinade and strongly flavoured.

While 'sherpa hot' is a dish that looks as if it hails from Lancashire, a sound lamb curry is topped with discs of potato giving a new credibility to the term hotpot.
