The best restaurants in Barnes Richmond upon Thames London

Such a shame as this is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, lunch etc! The restaurant is nice, clean and atmospheric! However, it really lets itself down by the service! The staff are generally friendly but, oh my goodness, service is virtually non existent! Waiting waiting waiting for the menu, then again, waiting for the order to be taken and then, the unbearable wait for food, no matter how many times we asked for each!! We were not the only ones, with other customers going up to the counter to ask for menus and where their food was etc etc! The coffee js good and the food, when it comes is just about ok - generally tepid and the pancakes basically a plate of stodge! We have only ourselves to blame as this was the third time we had been to Alma as we hoped the previous time had been a glitch but no, we put ourselves through this another couple of times but, the third time is very very sadly the last!

I’ve been buying my coffee sometimes lunch in this place since September 2023. I noticed a colleague of mine had been given a loyalty card. When I went in to buy my usual coffee I had asked when did you start doing loyalty cards. He proceeded with a reply of 10 years ago which I said ok and as I was leaving after paying for my coffee he had the cheek to say you should talk less and listen more! Lost a regular customer

We ordered through deliveroo. The thai green curry arrived like a tub of green water with a few pieces of chicken floating in it, and my noddle dish was extremely average. We had very high hopes for the place, but sadly it was so below par, they really need to up their game.

It is always a joy to eat in this restaurant. The food and staff are amazing. A real luxury is to be able to drink Indian wine! It is one of our staple restaurants and highly recommended.

Este es un lugar encantador para comer! El personal es excelente y amable. La comida es deliciosa y las porciones son generosas. Gran variedad de flapjacks y brownies. Tienen un menú de desayuno también por las mañanas. Diez de diez para mí. ¡Ve y échale un vistazo! :)

Big portions, delicious. And best tiramisu I've eaten so far!

Only stopped in for a drink on Saturday, but the staff were very friendly and helpful, the beer was good and the food menu looked interesting.

We stayed for 2 nights when attending an event at the Apollo in Hammersmith, 15 minutes walk away. The staff were extremely pleasant and welcoming. Our room was on the second floor, steps to get there so need to be mobile. The room was clean and the beds very comfortable with a lovely view of the tree-lined street. There were tea-making facilities and we were pleasantly surprised to have a coffee machine with a selection of coffee pods. Fresh milk was available for a short trek to the next floor down. The shower was clean and powerful and the bathroom modern, there was no bath. The only thing that wasn’t presented well was the grubby carpet leading upstairs which is a shame as it’s the first impression and an easy fix. We had a meal in the bar and the food was good, we had a chicken schnitzel and beetroot and goat’s cheese salad, only complaint would be that the triple-cooked chips were under-cooked! They had a good selection of wine and an especially nice Albariño. Overall we would definitely stay there again.

Lovely pub setting right on the river. We got a park right out front also. Sunday roast was good but unfortunately either it’s managed terribly or the kitchen is way understaffed as service was incredibly slow. Wait staff plonk the plate down and not once ask if you need anything. We ordered children’s meals and these took 1 hour to come, despite asking 4 times if they can bring those ones out asap (those with little ones know the struggle). Burger came out without cheese so they took it back and put cheese on and we are fairly sure they threw it in microwave to melt the cheese (what did the meat and bread do to deserve being ruined like that). Food is nice though in honesty and husband said the meat in burger tasted good despite the post microwave rubberyness. They need to sort out their staffing on a busy Sunday and improve service before I’d go back

Looks lovely but tasteless food and over priced. I don't like artificial tasting food but it's almost a bit too healthy . The muffins have no taste to them at all but look amazing just a bit disappointed considering the price

Great location and good service but they need to re-think their wrap. I upgraded to the larger one and got the tiniest bit of chicken in it.

استمتعنا بتناول طعام الغداء في هذا المطعم الممتاز، الخدمة ممتازة جداً، اكلنا الدجاج مكاني مع الرز وايضاً الماسلا بالتوابل الحارة كانت لذيذة حقا ،انصح به محبي المؤكلات الهندية.

We both visited the Market today and came across this small restaurant in the centre of the Market seemed to pull us both in , with the promise of a very nice meal , we decided to have lunch, we both had Gammon egg and chips , and a tea , it came and very good it was too, surprised there wasn't many more people in eating , we will be definitely visiting there again when we go to the Market in the future ,it was Clean and well run I would recomend it to anyone couples or families , it's perfect hence the Exelent recommendation.
