Overview
Nestled in the heart of Victoria Park Village, Bruno is a testament to the charm of East London's evolving dining scene. Housed in a beautifully restored former stable, this intimate wine bar and bottle shop is the brainchild of Michael Sager, renowned for his contributions to London's wine culture through establishments like Sager + Wilde.?
Bruno's interior marries rustic and refined elements, featuring whitewashed walls, antique furnishings, and shelves lined with an eclectic selection of wines. The ambiance is further enhanced by soft lighting and a curated vinyl soundtrack, creating a welcoming environment for both casual visitors and dedicated oenophiles.?
The wine list at Bruno is a carefully curated collection of natural and low-intervention wines, with a focus on European producers. Guests can choose from a rotating selection of wines by the glass or opt for any bottle from the shop's extensive range, available to enjoy on-site for a modest corkage fee.?
Complementing the wine is a menu of European-inspired small plates, often featuring seasonal ingredients and artisanal products. Signature offerings include filled soft pretzels—a nod to Sager's Swiss heritage—and baked Vacherin Mont d'Or served with accompaniments like boiled potatoes and charcuterie. The kitchen also hosts rotating chef residencies, bringing fresh perspectives and flavors to the menu.?
Bruno's commitment to quality, community, and conviviality has quickly made it a beloved spot among locals and visitors alike. Whether you're seeking a quiet glass of wine, a flavorful bite, or a relaxed evening with friends, Bruno offers a uniquely personal and satisfying experience in one of London's most charming neighborhoods.
