The 30 Best Lunch menu in Richmond

“Picked this venue for a coffee after reading the great reviews and was not disappointed. Don't be fooled by the modest entrance, the shop is a visual cornucopia of artistic delights. The drinks arrived in cute, hand painted cups and saucers, with small wooden spoons and the coffees adorned with coffee art. We sat and took in all the amazing decor which was for sale: cups, small serving dishes, bags, spoons, a menagerie of small crocheted animals with some in key ring form plus so much more. It was a feast for the eyes and brain to take in everything that was on display. The coffee was equally good and hope to try one of the cakes next time. An absolute joy for the senses and would highly recommend.”

“Went here for brunch and really enjoyed their portion sizes and their wide variety of brunch/breakfast options. Their full English breakfast was great value for money and was really filling and great portion sizes. The bacon was crisp and their sausages weren’t too greasy which was a perfect combination. Would highly recommend their brunch for anyone in the area. Their fresh juices were a great complement to the brunch.”

“had such a lovely meal here, selena our waitress was fabulous as are all the staff, the restaurant is so cute and the portions are perfect! would defo recommend”

“I had the most amazing experience at Rock and Rose in Richmond. The food was great - my friend and I ordered the crispy tempura shrimp, the chicken milanese, the lamb leg steak and sticky toffee pudding for dessert - can't fault anything, tasted amazing! The drinks were delicious too, the bartenders put on a whole show for us and it added to the experience. The staff were all so lovely and hospitable, I loved the decor and ambience inside and it was super packed which goes to show how popular it is. Thank you so much for having us, this place is a hidden gem for sure! Can't wait to return ✨️”

“I was visiting Kingston from out of town and popped in for a quick bite to eat. Great customer service, and the food was absolutely delicious. Will be coming back with a book for a nice cup of coffee when I’m next in Kingston.”

“We had a brilliant time at So Bar for a cocktail masterclass! Highly recommend for an event or celebration. The venue is perfect and the team make sure the class is personalised to the group. The cocktails were delicious and Tom and the team made sure everyone had a great time. Definitely recommend thank you So Bar!”

“I’ve always had an amazing experience here but today was extra special. I ordered through uber eats and they didn’t have the drink I wanted so swapped it for a similar one. I received the most lovely note explaining about the swap. Considering I was having a bad day that made it even better. Wonderful staff and yummy food.”

“One if the best Nandos i have had. Jorge our server was amazingly helpful and kind. Food was great!”

“If you're seeking a delightful and welcoming spot along the Thames in Richmond, you simply must visit this authentic German Beer Garden! Just a short stroll from Richmond Bridge, it boasts incredible, panoramic views towards Richmond Hill. Beyond the scenery, we loved the true family-style experience, complete with shared tables shaded by large umbrellas which are brilliant for protection from the elements. It's clearly a place that embraces everyone, as it's wonderfully pet-friendly. The combination of superb food and a genuine selection of Munich beers made for an unforgettable afternoon. We can't wait to go back!”

“Enjoyed lunch today at the Watermans.The food was really excellent and the portions were very generous.The pub has recently been renovated and they have done a really great job on the decor and ambience. We came here under the First Table offer so the meal was excellent value.The staff were delightful and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the gastro pub. We will definitely come again and can’t recommend it highly enough!”

“Nice ambience and deco. Wonderful service, prompt and courteous. Food was amazing and coffee was smashing!”

“Lovely food. Absolutely amazing carbonara. Perhaps there is a different chef on different days, as the overall rating is 2.2 stars.”

“Great cafe in Putney. Ignore the chains on the high street and you'll be rewarded. Good range of gluten free cakes, smoothies, coffees.”

“Our go-to Thai spot—really great food, full of flavor and always fresh. It’s a local gem, but be sure to make a reservation, as it can get quite busy! Definitely worth the visit.”

“Best coffee in the Richmond/Sheen area! Not only that but they have an amazing Italian Deli attached. Owners are the most wonderfully welcoming people who really take the time to get to know their customers and make you feel so loved you can’t help but keep coming back. The closest I have come to an authentic Italian coffee house outside of Italy!”

“The food was amazing especially the miso aubergine. Great service. Definitely going back! The vibe here is very cosy, great for date night or chilling after a long day. Although it can get booked pretty fast even on weekdays.”

“Best food in West London. Good quality food, great atmosphere, and the best service I've experienced in a good while. Absolutely wonderful! The welcome and service was 1st class, the venue was lovely. Lamb Biryani, Butter chicken was just out of this world. so good! And further, everything is priced very reasonably, a rarity for this neighborhood in West London. Honestly the whole experience was fantastic. From start to finish,From food to drinks. Be sure to book a reservation. Highly recommended, You won’t be disappointed! We will definitely be back, Thank you Moreish Bites for a great dining experience.”

“What a lovely breakfast I’ve had in here and I can highly recommend this place for someone who is looking to eat healthy food”

“Exceptionally airy with a crisp foundation! Truly delightful! The mozzarella sticks were tasty as well, although they could benefit from a bit more seasoning.”

“I have eaten sushi all over the world, including Japan and mostly major USA cities at some of the best places-this was the best sushi I have ever eaten, hands down. The place is very small (japan style) low ceiling, one chef...just incredible taste and texture. We went early, about 4:15pm for dinner, took a chance and glad we did. No alcohol here either FYI.”

“We had an incredible experience at this small family-run Lebanese restaurant! The owners were exceptionally friendly, guiding us through the menu and suggesting delightful dishes. The variety of both meat and vegetarian options allowed us to savor an array of flavors. The cozy atmosphere and fresh, delicious food make it a must-try spot. A gem in the culinary scene!”

“We went for the 3rd time for the lunch time serving. £80 per person but well worth every pound. The food was delicious, fresh and didn't disappoint. The waiters were polite. My only drawback is the manager. She's very abrupt as she gave a rude gesture when we declined wine and asked for bottle water. The way she speaks to customers and the waiters is impolite and unprofessional. She needs to retire as she's been there for too long or she needs to improve her customer facing skills as she would be the one reason why I wouldn't go back.”

“As a huge fan of Persian & Iranian cuisine, I have to say that this place is a solid 10. The garlic and sesame naan was fragrant and deliciously paired with the juicy koobideh kebab. The rice were fragrant and the flavours enhanced when we asked for some butter to go with them. Good indoor and outdoor seating. Attentive service. Fair pricing about £25pp”

“Wow, honestly what can I say. Understated location which packs a punch!! From the second you walk in, greeted by Zam and Sumit who were the best hosts all evening. But even the exceptional service was outshone by the supreme quality of the food. Unable to fault start to finish. Flavours like nothing else in the area. A must visit!!”

“This was a family outing and our first visit to Chook Chook. Jerry, our waiter helped make an already special evening even more special. Food was exceptional. Decor unique and delightful. I highly recommend the prawns starter.”

“Absolutely incredible Italian restaurant. Every dish was so tasty, loved the music and the service was brilliant. Giuseppe made us feel so welcome and was great with recommendations. The pasta is all freshly made in house and you can really tell because it’s so delicious. The pistachio tiramisu is a must try!! Bottomless brunch is only £20 aswell, such great value; includes bottomless Aperol spritz and prosecco.”

“Hawthorn is 100% your new go-to spot in Kew/Richmond. For some background, everyone who I was with for dinner had previously dined at the Glasshouse at some point in their lives, so when we all arrived for dinner at Hawthorn, we were intrigued about how it would compare… AND WOW our expectations were blown out of the water. Not only did we each quite literally lick the plates clean, but we all felt that each course was complex yet also felt so simple and just plain delicious. We heard that the restaurant just opened a couple of weeks ago, but the food tasted as if the chefs have been cooking together for years. Whether you are there for lunch or dinner, either set menu is incredibly well priced (especially when the food quality is at this level). The sommelier is incredible, suggesting perfect pairings for each course to accommodate every taste bud or finding a bottle that works with a table of diners who ordered a mixture of seafood and meat mains! Conveniently it’s also right next to Kew Gardens station or a short walk from Richmond station - very easy to get to and definitely worth a trip. What an amazing new restaurant in Kew!”

““Rich cafe is very welcoming and cosy place with wonderful location. Every time we go there if it is just for a coffee, family breakfast or lunch, there is always plenty options to choose from tasty food and yummy deserts. The staff is so polite and helpful, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Thanks Mario for the wonderful care given to us. Forever repeat customers!””

“My new favourite place! Great atmosphere, you feel like you've been transported to italy. Really tasty sandwiches, pasta and salad dishes and yummy pastry!”

“Lovely coffee place behind the nursery. The coffee was great, Angel cake is also yummy. But the main highlight is the friendliest service we ever got in London (today morning, 16/9/2025 - I don't know her name, but she deserves all the positive feedback!). Thank you!”
