La Plata Steakhouse in Richmond upon Thames

This was my first visit to La Plata Steakhouse after it was recommended to me, and I was not disappointed. My dining experience consisted of being greeted and seated by an attentive server, who took my order and ensured I was well catered for. The steak luncheon I had was cooked to perfection and tasted absolutely divine. La Plata Steakhouse is situated in a great part of London, run by polite and friendly staff, and is definitely a place I will be revisiting in the near future.

Steak was perfectly cooked and excellent! Served as a piece of meat on a plate which seemed odd and side of chips with no garnish or veg / salad option, seemed a bit stark.

El filete y el pan complementario sabían tan bien! Los empleados amables y el servicio muy rápido hicieron la experiencia increíble.

Perfect steak best service i highly recommend

Love their food very friendly staff

Saw a lot of great reviews so we went to try this place. Nice restaurant with a nice atmosphere. The sirloin steak I got was meant to be medium rare but came out rare. There was hardly any char on the steak and quite a lot of fat on it. I also had the Malbec by the glass, no flavour, barely drinkable.

Aunque mi filete estaba perfectamente cocinado, venía con papas fritas y literalmente nada más, ni siquiera una hoja de lechuga. Mi entrada, el queso provolone parecía que podría haberse derretido en el microondas y el tomate con el que venía no se había asado realmente, solo se muestra la parrilla, brevemente. Tuve que enviar mi pudín de vuelta, crème brûlée, mi favorito absoluto porque las natillas estaban vencidas. Definitivamente saben cocinar filete. Así que si eso es todo lo que te interesa, este lugar es perfecto. Pero no esperes recortes.

Fantástico almuerzo rápido en La Plata Steakhouse! Filete de pollo jugoso y tierno, gran puré de papas y ensalada lateral. La cerveza Quilmes fue una opción perfecta. Definitivamente volveré.

THE BEST STEAK in LONDON! Really amazing food and service, strongly encourage everyone to give it a go when in Richmond area. Great wine pairing and a diverse choice menu. Cosy atmosphere, there is free parking and a children menu as well.

El almuerzo entre semana a veces es un lujo para las personas ocupadas. Afortunadamente en Sheen encontramos La Plata, con un buen menú de almuerzo, que sirve deliciosos filetes y muchos otros platos increíbles. El mejor servicio y una gran relación calidad-precio. ¡Nosotros también vamos a cenar! : )

Went here for a spontaneous birthday lunch. Searched best steaks in the area. Decided to try La Plata! Very pleased we did. Partner said it was one of the best steaks he’d tried and he is super fussy. Cut was perfect, Quality of meat perfect. Execution perfect! Super fast efficient service and the owner gave us a Dulce De Leche Sauce jar to take home for our desserts in future. Super hospitable and kind! And he didn’t even know it was a birthday! Will be back again for a go to for steak now! Thank you for a wonderful lunch x

This is a really great place if you are looking for wonderful dinner. Everything was tasty. The steak was out of this world. The service was perfect.

I went to La Plate Steak for the first time for lunch and it may have been the best steak I've ever eaten. I highly recommend everyone to try this place.

Great steak, cooked to perfection. 🙏🏽

AMAZING STEAK, possibly the best in London. Sides come free of charge. Diverse menu with plenty of choice to satisfy all wishes. All cooked to perfection and fantastic wine pairing. Great for friends celebrations and family dinners. Children menus available also. The service and the personnel are all lovely. Highly recommend this place if you are in the Richmond area. Better than any other steak house around.

Filete excepcional, porciones generosas y lados, a la parrilla a la perfección. Los lados vienen gratis. Su maridaje de vinos es muy bueno y el servicio es genial! Ideal para una cena con amigos, puede acomodar mesas grandes también. Buenas opciones de aparcamiento, a 3 minutos a pie de la estación de tren. Esta es una casa de carne estilo argentino, GALAXIAS lejos mejor que el gaucho que es una estafa total.

Very nice staff and amazingly quick wait time for food. When food came is was cooked beautifully.

Brilliant steak, nice atmosphere good people

Steak was perfectly cooked and delicious. Staff were very attentive.

Lovely place. Great food and even better service. Chris thank you for help.

Es un restaurante pequeño y los asientos estaban un poco apretados y cerca de la puerta principal (ocupada), pero toda la comida era tan buena que no me perturbaría el asiento. Recomendaría este restaurante por la calidad de la comida y precio razonable.

La Plata does the best steaks around. They are everything you could want in a beautiful piece of meat, cooked well. Why not five stars then? Well everything else isn't quite up to the same standard. Very good but the steak is the star. Would we come back again? Absolutely!

Food was great : calamari & Prawns - starter : ribeye, mash, fries, creamed spinach, portobello mushrooms - main : churros, dulce de leche cheese cake - dessert : quilmes lager, Angelina Raices Malbec - drinks Music was at tad overpowering, hence mark down for atmosphere.

Succulent steak and smooth wine. Would definitely come back.

Argentine steaks to die for cooked to perfection, and lovely friendly service. The kind of neighbourhood restaurant that locals are obviously keen supporters of, but worth a trip if you are a steak fanatic!!

Increíble filete, gran servicio, excelente vino, deliciosa cerveza y encantador restaurante. Lidié perfectamente con las intolerancias. ¡Muy recomendable!

Genial 👍 Un filete de ron perfectamente cocido... deliciosa salsa de pimienta... buen vino... gran servicio... Con la ensalada de acompañamiento perfecta 👌 Definitivamente volveré aquí ... 👏

Amazing attention! Great atmosphere. With nice and happy Latin music. And as an Argentinian, I very much approve the food. All delicious. I definitely recommend it and will come back (well, this is my second time).

Reluctant to recommend this too much as otherwise us locals won't be able to get a table... But fantastic steaks, the kids are huge fans of a medium rare steak and chips now... save room for a pudding featuring dulce de leche as well! Update - just when you thought it couldn't get better, they add churros to the dessert menu... Also, try the La Plata coffee! Still probably the best steak place in south west London...

Lovely little steakhouse!! Food was absolutely delicious, steak cooked to perfection and prices are cheap in relation to quality and London price level overall!

Issue with this place is the sauces and sides. In my opinion, what makes a restaurant great is the “extras”. Spicing up the side of fries / chips with some seasoning and providing condiments as well as making good sauces is so key and La Plata misses the mark on this. I ordered mash potato as a side and was bland as could be and saw another couple order fries and chunky chips and looked similar. Could easily charge more money if they made things gourmet. Black Salt is proven example in Sheen. This place has a monopoly in Sheen and for some reason it’s a bit rubbish. Affluent people live in Sheen, raise the price a bit and make the food better - notably the side dishes and sauces and it will be a success. Ordered larger rump steak and asked for medium rare and came to me rare / blue. Did not send back as rump is bad cut of meat and hard to cook and I didn’t mind but feel like could have done better. When you google chimichurri or have chimichurri, it’s a vibrant, fresh herby green sauce. Chimichurri here is red and black, feels like it’s made with herbs you buy in a small jar from the supermarket and wasn’t very good. This place needs work.

A proper steak restaurant. Food was fantastic.

Came here and was so impressed with the food and service. The portions are very generous and the drinks are really good! Chris was so hospitable and made all of us feel so welcome. He made sure all of us were satisfied throughout our stay. Thank you for the food and excellent customer service! 🙏

Tenía la hamburguesa de La Plata y la hamburguesa de solomillo y ambos eran increíbles. El dueño estaba allí y nos dio un chorizo con chimichurri como aperitivo para mí y mi amigo. Comida de alta calidad, gran lugar y personal increíble. Soy de Argentina y fue como estar en casa. Muy recomendable

Avoid! It looks the real deal from outside but not an authentic Argentine restaurant at all (I'm from Argentina) and none of the staff or owners are Argentinian or Latin american. Food was bland but the worst was the service. Very abrupt and not welcoming, completely the opposite to Argentine culture.

La Plata offers the best steak I’ve had since my time in Argentina. I was eager to relive an authentic steak experience after spending months in Argentina, and La Plata exceeded all expectations. I ordered the chef’s special cut rib-eye, cooked medium-rare, and paired it with a vibrant chimichurri sauce. For me, only one drink could accompany that meal: a Malbec from Mendoza—a delicious, young wine that beautifully complemented the rich, juicy flavours of the steak, with every sip enhancing the tender, flavourful bite of the rib-eye. The dessert selection featured classic Argentine options like churros and a luscious Dulce de Leche cheesecake. There were plenty of options besides steak as well, with my vegetarian friend enjoying Tagliatelle pasta and crème brulé. Displays of Argentine wines, Quilmes beer, and charming little jars of dulce de leche created a warm and inviting atmosphere. A must-visit for any steak lover. Highly recommended!

I come here regularly for the £12 Lunch deal. Really great value for good quality ingredients, polite staff and really tasty food! Would recommend for anyone to give it a try.

V good steaks and food in general. Recommend.

It’s the best local steak house in Barnes/East Sheen Atmosphere and service is the top quality It is a nice family friendly restaurant with the best recommendations from the chef Martin We have been going there since they opened and definitely won’t stop going there till they serve like this Thank you chef Martin and his team

Lovely intimate restaurant with great steaks!

Fabulous steak house! I had the ribeye special (Tira de Ancho) and it was one of the best steaks I’ve had in London. Cooked to perfect and with an amazing char. The staff is really nice and attentive as well. Highly highly recommend

Amazing food , amazing atmosphere and very professional team.you must try the ribeye😋

Ordered burgers for collection to eat at home this evening. Although the bacon was missing, the burgers were supreme. Really fabulous. We’ll be back. Thank you.

Great meal! Visited on a quiet Friday evening and we enjoyed tasty starters (empanadas & a Greek-style salad with jalapeños), rib eye steaks with fries & green beans which were cooked exactly to our requests (one medium rare & one medium) and delicious puddings - churros with dulce de leche and chocolate cake with pistachios and hazelnuts. All washed down with a smooth Malbec. Attentive service & a relaxing atmosphere.

Wonderful food, delicious empanadas!! Lovely steaks, if you are meatlovers, don't miss your chance, definitely highly recommended! ! Great food, friendly staff and service very efficient!! Muchas gracias La Plata familia

Authentic, friendly and more importantly AMAZING steaks. We have returned multiple times before and with our child. I don’t think you will find a better steak!

Had a great night out at La Plata with my wife on the weekend! The steaks were top notch and cooked to perfection, the chimichurri sauce was a great accompaniment. Ticks all the boxes, good food, atmosphere and value!

Excellent steak, friendly service. we will be back thank you

We visited this steak restaurant on a Sunday afternoon with my friend. We shared a beautiful bottle of red wine which was perfectly paired which fillet steak. The side salad was simple - crisp, sweet, juicy and flavoursome. We had peppercorn sauce, fries and green beans with our steak and I didn’t want the plate to finish. We both had the salted caramel cheese cake for desert and there was nothing left on our plates at all. I cannot wait to return. The staff are also lovely. Best wishes!

We often come here with our two sons and we all love it. The steaks are delicious and so well cooked, and unlike other steak places their other dishes are strong too. The grilled chicken fillet is a particular favourite. And you can't beat the chorizo al Malbec starter. The staff are always warm and friendly. It's our favourite local restaurant for a night out. If you've not tried it, what are you waiting for? Get yourself down there!

If you are Argentinian you are going to feel a little disappointed. The food is good, but in general it doesn't have that taste that you are looking for when you miss home a little. Although different, the empanadas are good and worth trying. The staff is not silver, but they are very nice and they make you feel very comfortable.

Our family loves it here! The steaks are amazing - lovely quality meat and always cooked to perfection. And Martin and the team are always so friendly and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble and we always have a great time here.

Best steak place around the area!!! Absolutely beautiful restaurant, the staff and the atmosphere 10/10 The steak is such good quality and salad was really lovely too. The desserts are 😍 such a lovely time here, never disappoints! Can’t wait to be there again as always x

Really good steak house, fresh/delicious food served quickly by very friendly staff.

Love this place ❤️ Best steak I’ve ever had thank you so much la plata !

Great and friendly atmosphere!! Really great meet high quality!!

Very good services, delicious food! 100%

Best Argentinian steak in Richmond! They also have a very good selection of Vegetarian and Mediterranean options as well, we are regulars here and we love it! The staff is very nice and courteous all the time and the food arrives fresh and on time. Good wine selection as well, we definitely recommend this place! They do take-aways as well

We love this place!!! Great food, awesome steak, really nice people!

Best Argentinian grill in Richmond! Way more superior than the other options, amazing steak, great wines. Highly recommended

People, go and try Martin's steak! then thank me later

If you travel through Richmond you have to try them! Really great Argentinian style steak, the restaurant looks very cosy and the staff is so kind and knowledgeable.

If you’re looking for an Argentinian grill experience, you’ll be very disappointed. There’s none of the classic Argentinian meat cuts, few Argentinian wines, and no classic desserts (throwing Dulce de leche on a dessert doesn’t make it Argentinian :( ). The meat was frozen and dry, and had been cooked so poorly the only thing you could really taste was the grill. The experience can be best described as an average stakehouse trying to be Argentinian and not quite making it. In my experience reviews do not reflect at all the quality or experience.

Nice restaurant with good service. Food was ok, mains better than starters. Nice cold Quilmes. Very friendly waitress.

Steak was amazing, our server (young friendly guy) was amazing. But the chimchurri sauce was out of a jar and tasted just like those sun dried tomatoes you get in a jar of oil. It was a dark brown colour! I also suspect the peppercorn sauce was also out of a packet/jar as it was very bland. Such a shame that they don’t take the time to make sauces from scratch. We mentioned it to the elder (manager?) man and he said that people complain there is too much garlic in it if they make it fresh?! Not buying that at all. You don’t go out to eat and expect to be charged £3 per tiny pot of sauce out of a jar! Please change this La plata 🙏

This restaurant claims to be an Argentinian restaurant but is not an authentic restaurant employs zero Latin staff. The meat is very good however the rest of the dishes are extremely poor so if you're not going for steak, there are other restaurants that could cater better for the whole party! I was really disappointed to have taken my family after seeing such great reviews, but the accompaniments were awful, the sauces bland the pasta really not up to scratch. We tried to give feedback at the end of the meal to the owner /manager to which he was polite but rather defensive which just shows poor customer service skills and lack of value to repeat custom. We paid our bill in full minus the service charge.

Another gem! If you're after steak as good as fancy places like gaucho, you found what you were looking for. Except here the food is cooked with more care and being a small outfit they still have great customer service from the waiter to the manager and even the chefs. I've visited there four times and I've always been very impressed. Thick juicy Argentinian steak cooked to perfection, lovely sides such as beef skewers, spicy sausage, empeñas. Wine you want to gulp down and keep gulping, and sweet treats, like the cheese cake to top off a seriously filling meal. Yes i had all the above and more. In summary, think fancy restaurant locally.

Small family business with a really lovely feel. The food is incredible. Really, really good steaks cooked to perfection on the grill. The chips are also good and from what we saw the salads and other sides look very tasty too. I had the 260g sirloin, done medium. It was cooked exactly to my liking, nice and tender but not cold in the middle. The peppercorn sauce that I ordered with it was nice too. We also ordered the bread basket as a ‘nibble’, which was very nice too. It takes about 5 minutes to arrive because it is grilled/toasted. For puddings, the churros are very nice. Very crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, with a nice dulce de leche dip/spread. Service is fast and very friendly staff. This restaurant is a hidden gem, we’ve lived in Mortlake for 7 years now and have never been, but it has some of the best steak in the area. Many thanks to the whole team at La Plata!

Great family run restaurant. Simple but authentic Argentinian food ( vouched for by the Argentinian in the family) with well cooked and quality meat. We went for a family birthday lunch on a Monday and it was busy. We were treated very well and the food was delicious. Highly recommend

The food is so great! Service is good!

I bought a steak from the deli, a rib eye to be precise. You won't find a better steak in south west London, and if you do, please do tell me! This is the first time I've bought a steak to cook at home and it was perfect. You certainly pay for what you get! The quality and the marbling was much better than your average supermarket steak. I have eaten in the restaurant before and I most definitely return. I took my family on their visit from Scotland. My dad is an ex chef and very difficult to please but he was blown away. 10/10 recommend.

After reading the many positive reviews I was looking forward to finally trying this local restaurant. It was OK but not great. Which was disappointing.

Had a great experience dining for lunch with a couple of my friends after hiking at Richmond park. The food was great and there’s loads of meat!! Everyone’s satisfied and the service was lovely too

Very nice place, and I am enjoyed the time with them for over a year. Steak is decent with a reasonable price. And I went to them every week while I was working in the UK.

Fantastic food and staff! Excellent cuisine, congrats to the chef and the entire team! Great food and very helpful and pleasant service. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who helped with Tuesday night's food preparation for our family. Highly recommend La Plata Steakhouse!

Amazing and quality food, quick, efficient and friendly service and reasonable prices! Will definitely be back if I'm in Richmond!

Such a wonderful place. Both food and staff are exceptional, I can’t fault the place. I’ve been with my husband and as a large group of 10 each time has impressed. Thank you

Great service and excellent steak - the sharing platters mean you get tonnes for your money

Our first visit to this delightful family run restaurant to celebrate my wife's birthday. We visited in the evening and were able to park right outside. The restaurant has a pleasant ambience. The staff were very welcoming and service throughout was very attentive without being intrusive. The menu offers a wide choice and we each selected 3 different steak cuts which were well cooked to our request. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. A nice touch was to add a lighted candle to my wife's dessert and orchestrate a chorus of happy birthday. An excellent experience - only 4 stars for atmosphere but we ate early and I'm sure when it is full, the atmosphere will be 5 star vibrant. Thank you.

Gotta rate this place 5 stars! I stopped by for lunch with my friend yesterday before our yoga class and we both loved it! They do a really good lunchtime deal of £12 for steak and fries. The service was friendly and helpful. The meat is Halal which is even a super bonus! Will be returning again! :)

Amazing place. Food was great - we had the mixed steak for three- the best steak ever. I had the burger - tasty especially the addition of s fried egg. Chris- was great. Professional and helpful when choosing our meal. Would recommend to everyone.

nice cosy place for lunch, lovely staff. good steak deal and nice starters as well as puddings.

The food was amazing, staff aswell, beeing quickly served by Chris, a very kind and nice guy who gives me a “gift” At the end! Thank you guys, definitely I’ll recommend you! Great experience! :D

The best steak house in west London the quality of the meat is fantastic and the staff are excellent. It’s a small place so if you are going it’s always best to phone and book.

Just enjoyed a fabulous early Birthday lunch with my family. Ribeye was done to perfection. Sides were sublime. Staff were excellent. 10/10 experience and will definitely be back.

Excellent service and excellent quality steaks and starters

The meat was incredible. Good service and right price.

Had a great night here, the steak was cooked perfectly and the set menu is very good value.

It was a bit of a disappointing experience. We paid quite a lot of money and weren’t happy with our experience. Food was ok, steak wasn’t very good and there wasn’t any Argentinian vibe to it. It’s a shame cause we were really looking forward to it. Overall: overpriced and low money to value.

Great quality meat and unbeatable value for money. Best steak south of the river for a fraction of the price of what a decent steak would cost « in town ». Family run business, friendly service.

Everyone who works there is so friendly!! Went there last night for date night and was not disappointed, not one bit !!!! Steak 10/10 cooked perfectly Staff 10/10 friendly, helpful, attentive Will be coming back

Great food, great choice for the steak, really nice place and great service and the staff friendly make you feel welcome, really recommended, definitely see you soon again

One of the best steak in London, was so delicious Thaks La Plata Steakhouse for everything

Their steaks are very delicious and taste like Turkish delight. It's like it invites you to come again and again. The staff is very friendly, caring and warm-hearted. It is a perfect place where you will feel like your own home when you arrive.. Thank you for everything La Plata...

We ordered 2 500 gram ribeye rare and medium rare . Got 2 blue steaks instead. Food was a little bland but a good piece if meat.

Excellent food and friendly service...A real local gem.

Great food, great service, the steaks were delicious as was the feta salad. First time here, will come back.

The meat offered is delicious, carefully selected and cooked, and the place seems also quite clean. The restaurant does not compromise on quality, so I can easily recommend it on weekdays or weekends, whenever you want!
