The best restaurants in Richmond upon Thames London

Average food, very poor kitchen service. Good for a drink, no more.

Excellent place, very authentic cuisine!

Sorry to be writing this review as the establishment was good and the staff were fantastic. The food on the other hand, we had 6 roast dinners come out cold and over cooked! Sent back and again the staff deliver very well, but just so disappointing! I’d honestly never serve anyone cold food as a cook myself! Just don’t eat at this pub and you’ll have a great time!

Amazing food!! Lovely ambience!

Beautiful old world style pub with extensive outside seating and comfortable restaurant with an extensive Thai menu. The pub is tastefully decorated with an old world charm. Today was decorated for St. Patrick's day and even mid afternoon it had a celebratory atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Will definitely return ...

I took some ribs for my main and only course. It took about 30 min for the food to come out, the ribs were lukewarm at best. Additionally, the ribs were very spicy, which isn't mentioned on the menu. I guess if you are into spicy food you should try the ribs. They were otherwise quite mediocre. Portion was generous enough. Very hard to get waiter's attention, they don't look around when moving between tables. Ended up going to the bar to get my bill. I used to go to this place occasionally before the new ownership, specifically for the sweet and sour ribs. Even under the new ownership, in early 2024, I enjoyed some bbq ribs. They were not at all spicy. Will not return until either variety of the old, non spicy ribs are back.

The first time I tried Nepalese cuisine. The food was really delicious, and the waiters were very kind and helpful. Recommended 100%

We had a great birthday lunch at the restaurant. A cozy restaurant with authentic Italian ambience. Pleasant music and nice decor. An attentive waiter and delicious food. The chicken for the main course was absolutely delicious. So was the Tiramisu dessert.

Love the fresh fish. I had a haddock and fries

We had a lovely roast dinner on the terrace this Sunday. Our waiter Pawan was fantastic and very helpful.

No íbamos a ir aquí, pero otro restaurante estaba cerrado. Queríamos algo sencillo y bien conocido y qué mejor lugar que una tienda de fish and chips pero también un restaurante con alrededor de 50 asientos. Gran servicio y comida muy sabrosa. No es súper barato, pero a un precio razonable. El cargo por servicio es opcional y está más que feliz de pagar eso. Precioso pan y mantequilla más salsa de curry para complementar el pescado con papas fritas y guisantes mushy. Buena selección en general, pero no hay salchichas o pasteles. Sin embargo buen menú griego más postres más bebidas alcohólicas. Bueno como alternativa o una comida a un precio razonable en Richmond. Muy cerca del puente Richmond.

Food was nice, but I saw a delivery driver come in and the lady there was incredibly rude to him. He was polite and she just stood there glaring at him as if he was some lowly individual. Won't ever come back based on seeing this and wont recommend. Note to whoever this lady was. You should never judge someone based on the job they do.

Felices unas pocas horas felices aquí en diciembre después de nuestra comida cerca. La licitación del bar fue capaz de elaborar nuestros Martinis de Fruta de la Pasión favoritos, a pesar de que no estaba en el menú. Y estaban deliciosos y 2-4-1 también! Realmente me gustó el diseño del sótano de abajo. El personal era muy amable y eficiente también. Precios extremadamente buenos para Richmond Upon Thames. He visitado un par de veces más desde entonces también!

Ballarò is now closed. This location is now Ristorante Sorrento

We recently had our wedding at Pembroke Lodge, and I cannot say enough good things about the venue manager, Robert. From the moment we started planning to the big day itself, he was absolutely incredible. Robert went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. He was always available to answer our questions, offer solutions, and provide creative suggestions that enhanced our vision. He coordinated effortlessly with our vendors, making sure everyone was on the same page, which took so much stress off our shoulders. On the day of the wedding, he was a true rockstar! He made sure the timeline flowed perfectly, from setting up the ceremony space to ensuring the reception transitions were seamless. His dedication and hands-on approach allowed us to enjoy every moment without worrying about a single thing. Our wedding was a dream come true, and we owe so much of that to him and his team! Thank you, for everything you did to make our day magical.
