Restaurant with a heart in Richmond

“A gorgeous, warm, vibrant, romantic, welcoming, charming restaurant. I visited on Saturday 29th October 2022 for lunch, for two. The menu appeals from top to bottom, the service is friendly, attentive and what really appealed was the recommendation for a wine so perfect for lunch, there was no way I'd have chosen so well. Overall, this is a fabulous place for lunch and I reckon even better for dinner......which I'm looking forward to finding out :)”

“Amazing place in the heart of Richmond, but feels like being in Italy. Great service, everyone was very kind. I highly recommend the dessert "millefoglie".”

“I had expected the Petersham to be a bit staid, but our Christmas lunch surprised on the upside! Even playful in parts, the meal was always very good quality. Clearly, they have a talented kitchen team. Service was well paced and friendly, and the 'White Christmas' joke was fun!”

“Brilliant dining experience. The food was very tasty, ample quantity and reasonably priced. Excellent service. Will definitely be visiting Diba again.”

“We had such a great time at Rock&Rose the cocktails are so well presented and taste great, the food is incredible and a dessert platter?! Brilliant idea! Staff were lovely, welcoming and friendly. The chairs were like armchairs and super comfy. We would definitely come back.”

“Excellent authentic Indian cuisine - not Anglo-Indian as served by too many restaurants. Great range of dishes, beautifully prepared, cooked and presented. Wine list is top class.”

“If you like rich succulent curries then you're in for a treat in Annapurna. Big portions, lovely naan breads and super quick takeaway service. We even got poppadoms and yogurt dip on the house. We'll be coming back.”

“Delicious selection of food and a beautiful modern interior with thai heritage. I enjoyed a variation of starters, including the dimsum, spring rolls, scallops and deep fried crab which were all super tasty. The sea bass was cooked wonderfully and I recommend trying Raitakrai's signature cocktail. I look forward to dining here again!”

“I always enjoy eating here. The service is excellent, very attentive without being intrusive and you don't feel rushed or pressurised. The food is excellent too and very consistent. The decor is beautiful and very stylish and colourful. The upstairs Isabella room is very nice and perfect for a private function. I highly recommend this place.”

“I have photographed many weddings at the Petersham Hotel. The Hotel is positioned in such a beautiful setting and the view of the Thames is stunning. Inside the Terrace suite and the River room provide the perfect setting for an elegant and sophisticated wedding!”

“Thank-you to the 2 lovely waitresses who made our Valentines so special, and to the amazing chefs for the incredible food. Myself and my partner absolutely love this restaurant every time we come. Service last night may have been a little slower than usual but it didn't stop us from appreciating every moment we spent in the restaurant and in fairness it was not their fault. We cannot wait to come back again soon! Thank you again ”

“Just the most wonderful restaurant in Richmond - hospitality at it's very best. Friendly, passionate staff, incredible food and an excellent wine list. The whole dining experience is second to none. We've been many times and this place has never, ever let us down. Huge fans!”

“We went as a big family group on New Year’s Eve and had such a great time, we thought we’d go back just the two of us today. Antonio looked after us so well. Lovely window table overlooking the river. The food was divine. We’ll be going back real soon.”

“What a wonderful experience. Every dish was so flavoursome & had fresh ingredients. The staff was so attentive & welcoming- great service, lovely ambience & we will definitely be back. Lil upset no mango stickrice but overall great experience.”

“Lovely spot! Food is superb, atmosphere is friendly and local, service is excellent!”

“The Refuel Bar & Restaurant is a delightful place to have a drink or meal with friends, before a show or cocktail before moving on elsewhere. We were looking for a place away from the Soho crowds and having called them within five minutes we had a table for 6. The cocktails were lovely, well presented and very tasty. The staff were respectful and excellent in service. The design of the bar and surrounding area is elegantly thought out and the imagery behind the bar is awesome. Highly recommended – a little hidden gem in Soho, close to bars, China Town and theatres.”

“A new place to be in Richmond! we live nearby and was super excited to know that Scott’s is opening in the area. The raw bar selection was great and several oysters to choose from. The crab and the prawn in hot starters was delicious, with a lobster as main. The cocktails selection was great both strong and refreshing option. Shaba and Jerome look after us and so as the entire staff who’s very welcoming.”

“Amazing food quality. Freshly cooked and healthy. Tried vegan bean chilli for the first time - not as good as I expected but not bad as well… Very warm and friendly service.”

“Really nice food and beautiful place. Very good prices for simple but tasty dishes at the teahouse. Service a bit confuse but worth.”

“Great spot but also increasingly more of American tourists versus local pub. Don’t show up with 17 people and expect a seat—don’t be that guy. Amazing staff, great pints, incredibly clean and well stocked ladies toilets. Can’t wait to go back!”

“I took my partner here for afternoon tea on his birthday. We had an excellent time. The staff - Roxanne and Chris - went out of their way to welcome us and to make the experience feel special. The afternoon tea itself was fantastic with beautiful freshly prepared sandwiches and fresh warm scones (baked in-house). Highly recommend for dinner, lunch or a special occasion - we’ll be back soon!”

“Great Argentina steak house. Good quality steak in a cozy restaurant. Could get noisy when it is crowded. Server was attentive and humorous. Average 100 pounds per person.”

“The best old school style fish & chips in Richmond. I love how the inside hasn’t changed in years”

“I was looking for a meal that was fulfilling but not overly heavy. As a newcomer to Ramen I can't speak to the authenticity, only to the taste. I opted for the pork and it was utterly delicious. Highly recommend a visit if you're in town and looking for something that beats out the chain places all end's up”

“Intimate and vibrant! The cocktails are delicious! My favour is Pure Heaven! Surely tastes like heaven on earth!”

“This bar is a favourite of my wife we normally have a few drinks here on a Sunday if we are going for a buffet at a local Indian restaurant, the staff are very friendly and very welcoming,helpful, on a sunny day its nice to sit outside the regulars are also very friendly.the only down side about sitting out side are the beggar's asking for money or and cigarettes. But we'll worth a visit”

“The beef Sunday Roast was spectacular, one of the best I have eaten recently. The Margarita Picante is just great. It is not to spicy, but it gives a great twist to a great classic.”

“Beautiful location and very well maintained nursery. The afternoon tea was excellent, we multiple teas, though the best thing was the pastries themselves - and there’s tonnes of them. The scones are to die for and are very filling. Generous portions.”

“We had an excellent dinner here! Delicious food with a good gluten free menu and gluten free flags on the GF plates so you know they are actually gluten free :) They staff were very friendly and were wearing masks to keep people safe which was very nice to see. I would highly recommend this restaurant.”
