Zizzi - Richmond in Richmond upon Thames

Great service, friendly staff, delicious food and lovely view. My friend and I sat outside with my baby. A staff member offered us a high chair, which helped so much. We will definitely be back and with other family members. Thank you!

Always check inside the water jar before pouring it into a glass. We’ve been there twice, and both times there were lots of flies in the jar. They never clean it properly, so be careful.

Sadly a disappointing and overpriced meal. The portions are small and nothing special. Such a pity as the location is fabulous.

Vicky and Jada were awesome, gave amazing recommendations, we’re really accommodating when we wanted to move inside 😂 and just all round were lovely!

Just had an amazing meal there tonight, everything was exceptional, despite the busy bank Holiday weekend we received lovely and very kind service. Big shout out to Robi. Thank you team, see you soon.

Very expensive the tortilla was rather dark in colour which is unusual and the salad looked a bit old and brittle

Booked a table for my partner and I, arrived early but it wasn’t a problem, thanks to the weather we could sit outside. Food and service was excellent and our table on the terrace was perfect in the hot weather

My partner and I have loved Brindisa for years and we recently visited twice in the last month. Both times the food and drinks were exceptional. However, as some of the recent reviews also have noted, the staff come across as dismissive and rude. On our first visit, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere was great although we waited a long time for our plates to be cleared or to be offered a dessert menu (15+ minutes). We did not feel the waiters were warm and welcoming. As we arrived on our second visit, one waiter totally ignored us as we asked for a table before telling us to speak to someone else. Such a shame as we have enjoyed coming here for years but feel now that we will not return as this is our second bad experience with the staff here in the space of a week!

The food at Tapas Brindisa was absolutely delicious, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. However, the experience was slightly let down by the staff, who came across as quite rude. A bit more warmth and attentiveness would have made the visit perfect. Still, the quality of the food alone makes it worth a try!

Nice place for tapas. Location: excellent. Service: excellent. Food: Very good, falling short of excellent. I tried the patatas bravas, the tortilla, chorizo on bread, the bruschetta breads, pork cheeks... They were all very good and tasted the way they were supposed to but nothing blew my mind. And in terms of value for money this place is overly expensive. I would revisit and I don't have any major criticisms.

They are tapas as is.... And the quality is pichi picha. It is there in those moments when you realize all the good things we have in Spain when it comes to eating out. Warning! They charge a 13% more tip for their services. A complete robbery

We had lunch in sun today and can’t decide what we loved more - food, view or service. We were lucky to be sat by Alex who were smiley and kind and as sure a great spot for us :) Maybe found our new favourite spot!

Our server Alex was amazing! Great knowledge and advice on each and every dish. Great atmosphere and we’ll definitely be back!

Jade was amazing and recommended all the best things on the menu! What a star!!! Love her and this restaurant

Jada was our server and she was unreal! Super friendly and brought the vibes. Amazing food suggestions and always had a smile. 2nd time coming to the restaurant and would definitely make it a 3rd. GO JADA

Thank you and your staff, your food was fantastic. I was here on the 23rd of April. Tim Reidy

Jada was the most amazing server ever!!! Lovely girl, great chat, amazing atmosphere. I’ll recommend to anyone!!

We had such a wonderful time at Zizzi in Richmond — from the moment we stepped in, the cozy decor and warm atmosphere made us feel right at home. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into creating a relaxing, inviting vibe. Everything from the lighting to the layout contributes to an effortlessly chilled ambiance. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and a special shoutout goes to our fantastic waiter, Tony. He was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel even more personal. We also have to commend Toby, the chef — his cooking is absolutely phenomenal. Hailing from Hong Kong, Toby’s skills in the kitchen are second to none. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. He’s genuinely one of the best chefs we’ve come across. Even the little things stood out — the toilets were spotless and hygienic, which always adds peace of mind. Throughout the visit, I felt completely comfortable and cared for. All in all, Zizzi Richmond delivers not just great food but a thoughtfully curated experience that makes you want to return. It was perfect for our anniversary.

Smart friendly staff with great food and a superb location.

Had mostly a wonderful time. Most of the food was nice just a couple dishes weren't up to par docking the final star. The sangria was very nice and the ambience looking over the river is lovely. Do not order the crab special whatever you do. It tastes fine but it is in no way a dish that should be as expensive as it is. Also their bread is slightly disappointing. The octopus was good though the inclusion of bone marrow doesn't add anything to the dish. Everything else we ate was wonderful

We just popped in for a drink - £9 for 2 half pints of Estrella! Next time we'll stick to the pub nearby.

Wonderful afternoon. There were ten of us and the staff kindly let us spend all afternoon chatting and catching up. Great table, great food, great drinks, great service.

What a brilliant place for a lunch / brunch/ dinner. Alex was excellent at finding the best table and providing top notch service to us Sangria and tapas fans :), thank you !

Visited yesterday, Waitress 'Jada' was lovely and attentive. The restaurant is in a great location overlooking the riverside - perfect for a sunny day to dine outside. Drinks were a bit slow to come out and food was good, however you'd expect it to be outstanding for the pricing of the menu. If not better - it should at least be bigger portions for example the Patatas Bravas I would say there was no more than 12-14 small pieces which is not ideal for sharing. Same with the prawns they could be served with bread perhaps if not more prawns... 4 people spending £230 you'd expect to come out stuffed. I would definitely visit again but would probably choose dishes which would be more filling like the pressed lamb shoulder was really good!

Had dinner here last Saturday and, I must say, the experience was exceptional! Know I was slightly inebriated towards the end - having made the unwise decision to down a couple of shots - but would absolutely come again. Thanks Alex, you also made my day by finding my sunglasses.

Brill tapas restaurant overlooking the river. Lovely vibe and great service. Alex got me a brilliant table - thank you!!!

Delicious food, great service, lovely atmosphere and dining experience. A special mention to our waitress Alex, she was brilliant!. I will definitely come again.

We had such a lovely evening, as did our dog Oliver! A dog menu presented to him and he really got the 5 star treatment! Thanks to Alex and Maria for looking after us, we’ll be back soon!

Food tasted good - at the expected level. You can get decent river view from both inside and outside tables. Nice and typical tapas bar vibes. However, I found the prices way too high for what’s offered. Therefore reduced the overall rating from 3 (which is ok value for money) to 2 stars (which is not-so-ok value for money)

Our all time choice. Fantastic location and really delicious food. Most importantly, the service is amazing. Last time we’ve been served by Alex, and she is such a sweet lady! Highly recommend to everyone if you would like to enjoy a Richmond riverside quality meal with the outstanding service.

Had amazing lunch on mothers day! The place was very but that didn't affect the wonderful service and tasty tapas! From the moment we got greeted by Alex at the doors we had a great time and as we promised to her we will make sure to come back, maybe on a quieter day for a change! We couldn't ask for more and look forward to being back!

We had an absolutely wonderful lunch last week! Delicious food, good weather and special thanks to Alex for making sure we got a spot despite forgetting to reserve 🤦🏻.

Debora, Roberta may I say thank you for an excellent service, the vino you picked for me and the jamon, gorgeous! Smiles everywhere, great team guys, well done! The venue is few seconds away from the river, gorgeous place!

Lovely atmosphere. Great service! But the food left something to be desired, and it was a shame. I had croquettes and lamb. It wasn't good. I decided to order dessert, which was a cake with ice cream. The cake was very hard and dry. The only ice cream I had in the whole meal was good.

Had a lovely afternoon in Brindisa! Despite many people, Alex managed to squeeze us outside! She was very attentive and made sure we were looked after. Thank you!

My daughters took me to Brindisa, Richmond, for drinks and small plates for the start of an early Mother’s Day celebration on Saturday 29/3. Food and drinks were lovely, but the experience was made extra special by our server JADA. What a wonderful young lady who demonstrated a friendly, warm welcome the moment she came to our table. With her warm engagement and conversation, whilst maintaining excellent professional standards, she made our first visit and celebrations extra special. JADA is a total credit to your organisation and I hope she is appreciated as a great member of staff. Well done JADA and we will be back for a full lunch.

Slow service on a Saturday lunch. Waited 30 minutes for the bill and the table wasn’t cleared in that time. Food was delicious bar squid ink rice was quite cold. Overall not a magical lunch but did the job.

Celebrated an early Mother’s Day and had a wonderful time! Great food, and made extra special by our wonderful host Jada! We can’t wait to dine again soon.

We celebrated a milestone anniversary here because it's simply one of the best places to be on a sunny day - delicious seasonal food made from quality ingredients, a refreshing selection of drinks and a relaxed atmosphere. The service from Jada was amazing, she was very friendly, had great timing and was knowledgeable about the menu, it was the cherry on top of a lovely day out. Thank you!

Excellent service brilliant with my dog he absolutely loves Alex

Went here with a fiend yesterday for a meal and drink. We were sitting outside - fabulous river view, very pleasant service, food is nice. I loved the atmosphere, Alexandra (host) was very helpful with food choices. We had such a nice afternoon!

Me and my girlfriend had dinner there. The food and service was impeccable. Especially Jada who made our time even more special.

Jada was an amazing server! So attentive, chatty, smiley and so helpful! Food was delicious! Thank you! We’ll be back (your favourite ladies ;) )

Just had a lovely lunch at Brindisa today! Our host Alex gave us a really VIP service! She has seated us outside with a beautiful riverside view, recommended few dishes and even gave us a coffee on house. Would highly recommend pressed lamb, prawns with garlic and cheesecake!

I really enoyed this restaurant, Alex was a super great hostess and was really accomodating to me and my dog.

Great food as always really good atmosphere love Spanish type House would recommend to anyone who wants to try out really good cuisine. Alex was amazing she was really friendly. She made every effort to make our dining experience better and we had a really good evening. Would definitely recommend.

Enjoyed a nice lunch at Richmond. Food was tasty, staff helpful and attentive, location perfect. First but not last visit I'm sure! Special thanks to Alex who kindly found us a table we loved and for being a wonderful host! All worth coming back :)

Beautiful restuarant on the river and good food. Alex was very helpful. Perfect for a sunny day 🌞

Alex was a lovely host and we enjoyed our meal at Richmond

The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was bursting with authentic Spanish flavours, and the patatas bravas were some of the best I’ve ever had. A special shoutout to Jada for her outstanding service! She was friendly, attentive and made great recommendations that made our whole experience better. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in Richmond — fantastic food, great vibes, and top-notch service! Can’t wait to visit again. 😊

I had an amazing dining experience at Tapas Brindisa this evening, thanks to Jada’s exceptional service. From the moment we arrived, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She made excellent recommendations, ensuring we had the best selection of dishes to enjoy. Her professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail truly elevated our experience. It’s rare to come across such outstanding service, and Jada made our evening even more special. Thank you for a fantastic night I'll definitely be back!

From start to finish, Jada provided nothing short of outstanding service during our visit to Tapas Brindisa this evening. She was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, making thoughtful recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. Her ability to anticipate our needs without being intrusive was truly impressive, and she created such a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such genuine hospitality. Jada made our evening exceptional, and we’ll definitely be returning hopefully to be served by her again!

Had a great meal, Jada our waitress was really well informed and provided lots of useful input on the wine and good menu choices. Will be back and thanks. Andy

We had a wonderful lunch at Richmond branch on the sun! Whilst it looked very busy Alex found us a table outside with beautiful view and made sure we're well looked after. All in all, we throughouly enjoyed food, drinks and the service, full package! Would absolutely recommend :)

Amazing dinner last night, staff made it a great experience and a special thanks to Alex for being welcoming to us even without a reservation! We'll be back for sure!

Came in the last week for a quick drink and snack. Food was delicious and service by Alex was great. Very nice hostess and made sure I had a lovely time. The fresh lemonade was to die for!!

Had a fab time there! Each meals were delicious and i couldn’t thanks Jada enough (our waitress that evening) who provided us top quality service and incredible advices on wines!! Many thanks Jada for your excellent recommendations!!! In conclusion; top service and excellent authentic food in a beautiful place!

My first time in this Brindisa. It was very busy but the team was lovely and helpful. Special thanks for Alex reassuring us that dogs are welcomed here and helping organising dog dinner for the always hungry dachshund:)

We had a lovely experience at Brindisa Richmond and Alex was a brilliant host. She couldn’t have been more helpful

We came with my partner for Saturday lunch and since the weather was great we got attracted by your outside seating and the view! Alex accommodated us happily and promptly to one of the remaining available tables without a hesitation. She heard us saying we wanted a sunny space which wasn't available and after about 10 minutes of sitting in the shade came back to us and with smile moved us knowing how much we wanted to enjoy the sun the moment we saw another couple leave a table we we were eyeing up. We loved we didn't have to ask and your staff just wanted to make sure everything is loved by us as customers which honestly goes a long way, especially living in Richmond and being locals. This just means a new favourite spot for me and my partner thanks to little things staff does to ensure a great experience which we definitely had! Pair it with delicious Spanish food and wine, happy dog with his own bowl of water next to table and a gorgeous view and you get the best Richmond has to offer! Would absolutely recommend, especially over a sunny weekend!

We came for drinks and Alex was super, very accommodating for us with our baby and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely be back!

Alex was great! Have been to Brindisa in South Kensington before and loved it but the one in Richmond is even better. Great location and great service. Thanks Alex!

Beautiful location delicious food and wonderful hostess Alexandra. Made sure our table was on the terrace and kept checking in to make sure everything was to our liking. The Spanish omelette was phenomenal!

Albeit a chain store, I really enjoyed this compared to the one in South Kensington. More space, better internal dinning environment, great view of Thames river and situated off the Richmond promenade. I would encourage to book to ensure you get a seat and order all the tapas are you desire. Price is appropriate with the quality and portions.

Stunning location with a view of the river, the food was stunning, we had lots of sharing plates (recommend the chorizo) and the cava sangria recommended by Jada which was amazing. The service from Jada was perfect. Lovely lunch.

Jada was magnificent, big shout-out to the croquettes.

Served by Alex and had such attentive service with a smile, with great music, food and drinks. Will definitely be back

Great food and good vibes. My husband I came here for a meal for my birthday. Alex was was absolutely wonderful and very welcoming. Kept checking in to see if we were happy with everything. She provided a superb service and would we will definitely come back here.

Excellent food and service, Jada was an excellent waitress

Would recommend the croquettes, the chorizo, the chicken thighs, and the prawns. Jada was fantastic. The lady as we were greeted could do with a more warm demeanour; learning a more inviting tone.

Alex at the doors was a delight! I came in tonight without a reservation and waited for friends, she offered a table and very shortly moved me before my friends arrived to offer better and more spacious table which we loved! She was incredibly welcoming and kept checking on us throughout the evening, easily cracking jokes with the rest of my party too making us feel very comfortable. Our first time at Brindisa and definitely not last after the experience tonight. Rest of the team who looked after us did a great job too and we can't wait to be back soon. Thank you for a nice evening Alex! See you soon!

Really nice restaurant with great food and view of the river. Jada was so welcoming and gave my friend and I amazing service throughout our dinner!!

Thank you Jada she has been the best waitress I have ever experienced and lived in Richmond my whole life. Truly lovely lady, very beautiful and kind. Thank you Jada!!! ❤️❤️❤️

It's a place I like very much, only the employees are very grumpy people. Even though there were many empty tables, they said there was no room, and when I passed by 2 hours later, I saw that the table was still empty. I asked again and they said there was no room again. However, it is a place that I love very much. Their drinks are very nice 👍

We’ve spent an incredible 2 hours sitting outside by the river with amazing spanish food and great service! We’ve had the sharing board, and it was spotless. My husband ate all the padron peppers before i could get to them 😅🙌🏻

The food, service, and atmosphere were satisfactory. I'll recommend the restaurant for the excellent location.

Jada, was absolutely lovely. Very attentive great customer service! Food was lovely… very happy customers will come again!

Vine con mi pequeño a almorzar. El lugar estaba vacío, pero esperaba que para un almuerzo de mitad de semana. Muy buen trato para niños, porciones masivas. La lasaña estaba fuera de este mundo, al igual que el pan de ajo con cebolla. Mi hijo de tres años no pudo terminar la boloñesa, así que nos dieron una olla para llevar,

Unfortunately you’re mostly paying for the view and location. The food isn’t that amazing for the price it’s sold. Service and atmosphere were nice! We paid £180 for 2, tapas and carafe of the cheapest wine. So… quite expensive in my opinion

our waitress Jada was phenomenal with all the best recommendations, and very attentive. food was unreal, all in all was a wonderful experience. the cheesecake is definitely a 10/10. the special churros were also amazing, i think they should be added to the permanent menu.

We just wanted to enjoy a drink and some snacks outside—surely that’s not too much to ask? Especially with an empty terrace! First, they told us they don’t accept walk-ins, so I had to make a reservation. Fine. Then, they warned us about a long wait for food, which I was happy to accept. But in the end, they refused to serve food outside—despite other tables being served. The service was beyond frustrating; it honestly felt like they were trying to turn customers away. Keep up the good work, your restaurant will be replaced with another set of high end apartments soon at this rate!

Our waitress, Jada, was amazing! She was the right side of attentive when looking after out table. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Jada our server was absolutely brilliant! Excellent service and food great as always.

Locale molto carino, piatti davvero buoni e staff veramente gentile ed alla mano! Un ringraziamento speciale al cameriere Ale che è stato davvero gentile! Sicuramente appena sarò nuovamente a Londra ci tornerò

Visited for my Girlfriend’s birthday. Food was delicious and our waitress Jada was incredibly hospitable. Will certainly be returning soon!

Amazing food and service! Maria looked after us she is very good waitress so friendly and helpful. Thanks so much !

-Estaba bien. Exactamente como se esperaba. Comida rápida y de calidad media. Exactamente lo que queríamos. ¿Los servidores hicieron todo bien? No. ¿El servicio era amable? -Sí.

Delicious authentic Spanish tapas food

The food was absolutely delicious!

Sowmya was a lovely server. The food was delicious. Highly recommend the hake and lentil salad. Great views of the review with a bottle of cava

Great food, great experience made better by our server Daniel, overall great place!

Been wanting to try Tapas Brindisa for ages - really enjoyed! Nice sangria too

We went for a family dinner with my parents. We used to go to the Ivy for family meals, but that’s lost its appeal as the chain has expanded. Brindisa seemed like a nice alternative. We’re big fans of good tapas and Brindisa didn’t disappoint. Service was prompt and attentive, despite the restaurant being full, and each dish was prepared with skill and care. The wine list is great, although a little pricey. Overall it’s great value for such quality and there’s something for everyone on the menu. Would highly recommend.

I love this place due to the location and size. Not as cramped. ..but the fried goat cheese at the Soho branch is much better. The portion size here is much smaller and not made the same way. The truffle arinchini was delicious - we liked it so much we order it twice as well as the tortilla!

Last minute pleasant evening with delicious tapas by the river Thames. Thanks to the team & Sowmya for her service with a smile. Bless you, Deepak

Outstanding service and great food.. The team there made our friend’s 60th birthday dinner so special. They went above and beyond and could not have been more professional. The food was extraordinary as always, we have been a number of times and never been disappointed. I would say as foodies, the best Tapas restaurant we have been to.Our friends were blown away with the quality of food and wine… think you have gained a few more regular customers……

Pretty average. The artichoke was too greasy and not tasty, the fish was okay, and the lamb rack was decent. The freshly squeezed apple juice doesn’t seem authentic—too sweet and clear.

Very rarely post a negative review. The staff were friendly, but we had to ask for cutlery on numerous occasions, the portion sizes considering the prices were incredibly small, the flavours were underwhelming and all in all we left with a huge bill and were still hungry

Vinimos a cenar. Teníamos entrantes, un plato fuerte y un postre. Los entrantes y postres eran agradables, pero para el plato principal un amigo y yo tuvimos la remolacha stifado. Estaba muy sabroso pero el problema era la falta de carne. Era principalmente masa y patata. La camarera me preguntó si lo estábamos disfrutando y le hablé de la falta de carne. Ella nos ofreció una alternativa, pero para entonces ya habíamos comido la mitad de ella y no podíamos haber manejado otro plato principal.

Food was excellent but quite pricey. I especially enjoyed the cheese board, mainly to myself 😂 house red was good. A pardon pepper was so hot it nearly felled me but apart from that all was excellent.
