La Plata Steakhouse in Richmond upon Thames

Incredible steak, great service, superb wine, delicious beer and lovely restaurant. Dealt with intolerances perfectly. Highly recommend!!

Great 👍 A perfectly cooked rump steak … delicious peppery pepper sauce … nice wine … great service …. With the perfect side salad 👌 Will definitely be back here … 👏

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! 🙏

Had the La Plata burger and the stirloin burger and they were both amazing. The owner was there and gave us a chorizo with chimichurri as an appetizer to me and my friend. High quality food, great place, and amazing staff. I’m from Argentina and it was like being back home. Highly recommend

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

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!

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!

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

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!

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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

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

Very good services, delicious food! 100%

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Very cozy place, the stake is OPTIMUM. Really good quality stuff. Great for dinner after a long day in the office

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

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...

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

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!

We decided with my husband to come here to have lunch but we didn't know that on Sunday they close at 3pm so we just arrived 10 minutes before closing and thanks to Chris ( waiter) we had a very private ( we were the only one on the restaurant) and enjoined lunch. Thanks to the kitchen staff as well, they make the best steak experience. Thank you so much! Will be back!

One of the best steak and fries.

Had a lovely time at La Plata for Sunday lunch with the family. Chorizo and Calamari starters were stunning and the steaks / fries mains were really good! Service was outstanding

Chris our waiter was very friendly and efficient. The food was very good. We all enjoyed our visit. None of us has any complaints.

Can’t complain about the steaks but as a non meat eater this was a pretty poor experience. Three pasta options on the menu but no Parmesan?! Non meat eaters really could do with some better options… would be great to see a piece of grilled fish on the menu so that all of the sides & sauces can be enjoyed with it. One thing we did notice was that presentation had gone down hill. Gone are the wire baskets that the calamari and fries were served in and the steak experience for 2 & £70 was juts served on a plain round white dinner plate. Appreciate that wooden boards can’t be used any more but the it really did look a little naff. Service was however friendly and efficient and we were accommodated without booking which we appreciated. I might just leave the steak lovers to it next time!

A must around Richmond!! They treated our 4 year son like a star, crayons and everything to make him happy. We ordered the Argentinian Experience and we enjoyed every meat cut! A must you have to try is their Stilton salad with a homemade dressing, woowww!! Staff is great and ambiance is very like home! Thank you

Brilliant food always nice staff and atmosphere

Had the best steak at La Plata!!!! Very tasty and soft. Great service provided by Joe who helped with the steak choice and it was delicious.

Great steak, great hospitality and a lovely place to spend our anniversary. And they do the best cheese cake in SW London. Thanks

Martin definitely knows his stakes ! Great food, big portions, much recommend it !

We had steaks and they were amazing, service was excellent, will be back!

The Tannat red wine was stunning. Steaks perfectly cooked and really tasty. Really helpful staff. Highly recommend.

Wow, can’t believe I’ve just discovered this place. Fantastic steak, great pork belly, and some excellent wines too. Service friendly, fast and accommodating. Very good value and a just lovely place to meet friends and enjoy life.

The food at La Plata is always superb. Wonderful hospitality and service too. I have eaten here on many, many occasions with family, friends, colleagues and clients and they never disappoint. Martin runs a fantastic operation and if you love steak you will not get any better!! Keep up the good work.....!! David.

Amazing steak! Best in the area

Perfect place, meats are delicious, wine is good, friendly staff, fast service

We ordered two large steaks (Rib Eye and Sirloin) as well as a Calamari starter. The calamari was amazing and the steaks were nicely cooked (char-grilled). The service and staff were exceptional and lovely. We ordered our steaks medium rare but when the cook noticed my wife was pregnant he proactively returned to us and recommended a safer option, which was very thoughtful of him. The total came to approximately £110 for two (bearing in mind I essentially had 500g steak and my wife had 320g, where the 500g steak might as well be two steaks and we had 3 cokes and starter) so I think it certainly is reasonably priced. We came here for our anniversary for the first time and the lovely food and staff has made this a favourite spot to return to for great meats!

Such a lovely restaurant, staff and food are both great with a really nice and friendly atmosphere, no complaints at all!

One of my favourite steakhouses. Good Argentinian wines and friendly service included. Fair prices and good portions. 👍🏻

As always an excellent local Argentine steak. Good quality meat cooked as ordered with decent simple sides, quick polite service in clean smart surroundings.

We went to La Plata for diner for the first time last night, had a great time. The food was great, but more importantly the people there were extremely nice, which made our experience even more pleasant. I would highly recommend La Plata to everyone.

Consistently excellent food and great service. Their lunchtime set menu with rump steak is absolutely fantastic value. The steaks are inline with the very best i've eaten worldwide. This really is a hidden gem in East Sheen and highly recommended. Whether you're eating at lunchtime or in the evening the service is always friendly and fast. A really superb no frills steakhouse.
