The 20 Best Hidden gems in Twickenham

“The Thai kitchen here is first class. The pub is also very nice for a drink or two. But the Thai food is legit, been several times and it's often full, and even more encouraging - a LOT of Thai people eat there. One of the best Thai restaurants in London at the moment.”

“We visited The Turks Head and were impressed by the warm and friendly service. The pub has a cozy atmosphere and charming character. The outdoor garden area was particularly enjoyable, providing a perfect spot to relax with a drink. The live music was an added bonus, enhancing the overall experience.”

“La Piazza is, by far, one of the best restaurants in the area. Having been a few times before, I knew what a great place it was: friendly, welcoming and with delicious food, prepared and served with genuine passion by the owner. And this occasion was no exception. Rubik’s hospitality was - as usual - second to none, and he made my dinner date with a friend very special.”

“As an avid fan of Japanese cuisine I had a great dinner at Umi. The menu consists of a wide variety of different Japanese dishes which accommodates for all kinds of meal preferences. All the dishes we ordered were very fresh and were prepared with great detail. All dishes worked to create an authentic experience. In particular, the pork cutlet in the curry don was cooked to perfection with a crispy breaded surface and a tender centre. The sashimi had a umami flavour which is always a pleasant surprise in good quality sashimi. The establishment has a comfortable atmosphere and the high quality service provided by the staff of Umi ensured that we had a great time. I would highly recommend Umi as a go-to for authentic Japanese food.”

“Lovely and fresh Italian food. The ravioli portion was made by Yolanda Hadid. Nice atmosphere and friendly service.”

“I always get my weekly organic eggs, bread, pasta, and wine from this store, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. They have a wide selection of organic goods, ensuring I have everything I need for my meals. Both Ish and Jas are incredibly helpful and make every visit pleasant.”

“Usually head up to Twickenham on the weekends so surprised I haven’t popped into visit this place already as been looking for a decent breakfast/brunch venue in the area. This place doesn’t disappoint. Full Breakfast and brunch menu and really attentive staff. Ordered the house breakfast with tea - very good portion (the beans surprisingly good) - also do Eggs Florentine and Eggs Bendict but next time will try the Traditional Shakshuka. Only a short walk from Twickenham station, near the William Web Ellis pub.”

“The food is always really good no problems there they make it quickly and the woman is really nice. I have been going to the same Chinese shop since I was 10 years old. They have been there a long time and they are a staple to the area. Very affordable too.”

“We had a super birthday celebration meal for my 8 year daughter here. This restaurant is a great new addition to twickenham green. The food was delicious, we tried a range of different courses, particularly enjoying the rainbow maki. The service was was super friendly, with the staff going out of their way to make make us feel welcome, including a special birthday desert dish. Thank you very much, we will be back!”

“A great place to go pre-match at Twickenham. I had linguine, was lovely, the tomatoes tasted great. Next time though I would order some garlic bread. Nice traditional pub decor.”

“This hotel/pub it was a nice random place that surprised us with a delicious burger and a nice kind of relaxing atmosphere. Kind of because it is by the main road, but relaxing because it was sunny, you can see Thames river over the road and enjoy a pint and some food. The staff was friendly, quite helpful, and polite even they were massively understaffed and they were running all over. The management should do their job better and not exploy their people, but ot might be the exception as it was a sunny day and lots of people joined us so this time I will not consider this in my review. We will update it if we return, and it will be a similar situation. Parking is available on the back of the hotel or on the side streets, but with limited access.”

“This is a lovely little French restaurant, with pretty French music! The French bread and caper butter was very delicious had to order more bread to finish off the yummy butter! My partner ordered the scallops and I got the pea soup - both very tasty! The decor is lovely, wooden floors and velvet blue sofas. The veal and plaice was quite good and the dauphinoise was excellent! Would definitely recommend and want to try the lobster ravioli next time!”

“Extremely helpful staff. Printed documents for me. This local shop sells everything! Open from 6am to 7pm.”

“My trip to Madagascar was a trip of a lifetime and Korobotours had a huge part to play in that. From start to finish they paid attention to detail and made me feel so welcome. My guide Philo was very attentive and knew exactly where to take me to have the best time. The people are so laid back and hard working. The food is delicious, so fresh! The lands is so vast and I got to experience the mountain and the ocean all in one beautiful day. I highly recommend a trip to Fort Dauphin in Madagascar and definitely recommend Korobotours service as it was second to none.”

“Very cosy and warm with a wry welcoming interior. The gentleman at the counter was very friendly and I enjoyed the sandwich. Will visit again.”

“Food amazing best pizza i have had and the 5 pound medium pizza is very cheap other shop i have went to charge the same amount for a small great service”

“my favourite corner shop. good prices, although there was no monster last time i went. love it there though”

“This is such a lovely cafe inside the swimming baths. You can grab a drink from an outside area where you just ring a bell and someone very friendly will come and serve you or if you enter the leisure centre you can go inside the cafe... this also has a nice green outdoor area with family benches if you would like to enjoy some nice weather in summer. The food is really nice! They have loads of variety of food and drink. Very suitable for children, with a children menu to. There is some tv screens that usually has something playing if there is an event e.g Wimbledon. They are really nice and will put on a childs programme if you come in with young children. They have a book table with a variety of books for adults and children to read.”
