The best restaurants in Richmond upon Thames London

Several Italian eateries have opened in Richmond in the past few months but this is the place to have a really good Italian meal. The owner and chef Hercules is always in the kitchen and patrolling the restaurant to make sure everything is shipshape. We have been a number of times with friends outside Richmond and they are all envious that we have this local Italian. My wife and I have been through the entire menu and we have never had a bad meal here. The place is small and intimate but by no means cramped. There is the beautiful St Marys Magdalene church within 2 minutes walk and that is worth a visit before or after lunch.

Wow! I highly recommend this gem! The atmosphere was small and quaint. The food is very fresh, although took a little while to come so don’t go if you were in a hurry like we were. It’s best to savour this one. I had the berry pancakes and they were delicious. My daughter had the vegan burger and was happy with it. You can get gluten free and veg things here easily. The prices were honest and not overdone either. Again, highly recommend.

Best fish and chips locally and miles around. Consistently excellent. Have tried many fish and chips shops over the years - but for last 8 years this is the place. If you haven’t tried it, it’s a must!!

A large group of us met here for lunch today and we had a variety of different dishes on the menu - my shepherd’s pie and apple and pear crumble was just what I wanted, and the gentleman who served us, the owner, I think, was extremely patient and very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and we had a long, leisurely meal with no pressure put upon us to vacate the table and allow them to tidy up around us. Thank you

We were searching for an early breakfast on Boxing Day 2022. Driving past Twickenham towards Richmond we saw this restaurant at St Margaret's. We parked next door on the street adjacent to the railway. The restaurant was open to serve. Great ambience. Good tasty breakfast at a fair price. Best thing was that staff served with a smile. We will regularly attend this place with the full family from now on. Thanks to the staff and Seasons' Greetings.

What a gem of a local restaurant. Understated decor, attentive service - but most importantly lovely food. Quality ingredients prepared simply and well. Great neighbourhood restaurant, we will be back again very soon!

As a tourist I wanted to support the independent businesses and was looking forward to coming for my royale after parkrun. The food was great but the service lacking. Despite being waited service I had to go and order my food with the waitress as I was waiting a long time, 1 x Royale and 1 x Latte. The food arrived looking lovely but no latte, ate the food and still no latte, chased it up with the waitress and still never arrived so chased it up again with the waiter this time, it arrived! With a little more attention to detail and better customer service it would be 5/5. FYI I'm an all round reasonable person.

A very warm welcome when you arrive food hot and displayed well staff always ready to help in anyway they can food is out of this world great price my breakfast was 100/100

Very friendly service and excellent food. It is a great addition to the area and we will be visiting again soon.

Nice little cafe, very friendly service and good vegan cake and drink options. Quiet shady location with only passing foot traffic.

Visitamos Roots por primera vez esta noche, y volveremos de nuevo. Excelente comida y servicio. Tenía un curry de marisco, y mi marido tenía un curry de cordero. El menú no era tan variado. como en otros lugares - . generalmente una buena señal que significa que la comida está recién cocinada. El menú de postres era simplemente fantástico. . comimos helado con remolacha.

Amazing experience, staff (owner) was on top of the ordering, drinks and the entire service. Supper friendly and caring about the food craft itself not just throwing crap on the plate and serving it.

Absolutely fantastic coffees, and a delicious sausage bap for breakfast. The staff are lovely and chatty too. A great place for a relaxed drink

Good take out meals . Staff are friendly and the service is speedy . Very attractively priced . Highly recommended for any locals looking for a Chinese take out !
