The best restaurants in Kew Richmond upon Thames London

Unfortunately not a good experience food was good temperature. But ordered a chicken korma . Was spicy and lacked chicken not even the size of a chicken breast

After walking and shopping again, we also need to take a rest. This is a good place to have a meal and complement the dessert! The cool breeze is blowing, the blue sky and white clouds are set against the green fields, and the restaurant is as beautiful as a castle. It's so happy to eat and chat!

Beautiful pub, amazing food and attentive service. Lovely dining room. Would definitely recommend!

The manager of this restaurant in Kew was not friendly, we came on Sunday 3rd Nov 2024 with more than 2 children, no children menu given, he asks us if we ready to order and says waiter will be with us in a min, no waiter came until I call one in 20 mins, our order what’s been placed and then deleted somehow which made us wait another 30 mins for the second order placed, kids started getting upset from hunger, no apologies. We missed our last entry to Kew Gardens because of the delays and felt this place is either understaffed or has some organizational issues. The waiters seems to be working too hard and stressed out. Not a happy place to go with kids sadly even though we love pizza express at other locations.

3 of us dined here for brunch and were overall satisfied with the quality of food and speed of service. Atmosphere was fantastic with a table by a nice warm fire. Disappointed with small portion sizes that did not justify the prices. We will come back here again but just for coffee and pastries next time!

Lovely place to come for a coffee and a bite to eat for lunch. There is outdoor seating and a pond with swans. If the weather is nice. Would recommend to pop in here. Start a very nice and friendly.

We had a very nice late breakfast here. Food and service were both excellent. We had plenty of space, maybe because it was a Tuesday morning. It was quite quiet but the atmosphere was good for us, not too noisy, but not the only ones in there!

What a lovely place The Botanist is. It's probably the best place to eat and drink on Kew Green. So much better than the awful pub it sits opposite - The Coach and Horses, which is dire. The Botanist is so much nicer and comes highly recommended. The food is excellent, and it is very cozy and atmospheric. It also has a really good range of beers these days. Highly recommended.

Visited today after trip to Kew Gardens excellent food at a very reasonable price. Ploughman's Lunch for me really superb best Ginger Beer I've tasted in a long time. Very busy but service quick and friendly. My apologies to the staff I only had card so could not pay cash. Thank you

Needed to kill some time, so popped in here for coffees. Also had a bacon roll which was OK, rescued by the addition of Heinz tomato sauce. Nearly £10 for 2 drinks and a bacon roll, so not good value. However there was so much litter on the floor, and no one was clearing away cups from the few tables to sit at. I asked a member of staff for a cloth to wipe the table, but she did not get the hint about the place being a pig sty. The customer toilets (in Sainsbury's) were disgusting. Urinals blocked and out of use. No soap. My wife said that the women's toilets were equally bad, and she would not use it. It's times like this that you appreciate McDonald's.

Coeliacs? Take your chances! Love Kew. Members for years. First visit since becoming Coeliac. No labelled GF options. On investigation, this was not obvious, some salads, were available, but were self service and cross-contamination was rife. Assistant didn't initially understand this but kindly went and got me some fresh from the kitchen. No cakes or sandwiches were available in any restaurant. Disappointing really.

I stopped here for lunch and ther service is abysmal. They have two staff taking orders and making drinks (very very slowly) there is no table ordering service so you have to join a long queue to order. One of the staff did not even know how to open a bottle opener. On a positive it gave us time to see the quality of food that was coming out and is nowehere near the value for the prices they were charging so decided to give the food a miss. I settled for two coffees after a 25 minute wait. This place does not know what it wants to be, a bistro or a restaurant it is not. If you want good value proper (non snack) food avoid this place and go to one of the many pubs in Kew.

The food here was overpriced rubbish! £5 for a sausage roll the size of my finger. Bring a picnic with you and avoid this terrible café at all costs!

Unfortunately this Starbucks needs a total overhaul. The setting is great but the lack of cleanliness is appalling. Tables are not wiped or cleared often enough, we have to ask for that. Worst of all are the toilets...they are filthy, not just surface dirt but deeply ingrained grime on the front and back of the doors, the walls and sink. Bins overflow. There is no rota visible for cleaning and anyway, this is more than a regular wipe job for young staff. I wrote to head office, first time they sent two vouchers for coffee but nothing was done to rectify the problem so I wrote again with photos....no reply! Surely someone should give the place a deep clean and smarten it up. it is used by locals and tourists...is this the impression we want to give. Not used by us any more...we value our health!

I ordered a takeaway from here for the first time in a while, and sadly it was a disappointing experience overall. The most positive thing was the prawn toast as these tasted great and were cheaper than other takeaways in the area. They came with a pot of sweet chilli sauce too which was nice. I also ordered salt & pepper ribs which didn’t taste too bad, but there was very little meat on the bones and far more vegetables than ribs in the whole dish overall. The whole experience was completely ruined however when I discovered a long black hair which had been cooked into the special fried rice. This was really disappointing and absolutely puts me off ordering from here again. One other negative was the pot of satay sauce which I ordered as a side that didn’t look or taste like any satay sauce i’ve ever had before and was gloopy and pretty tasteless. Sadly the whole experience felt like a waste of £21.50.
