Things to do in Richmond-upon-Thames
1. The Glasshouse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 816 reviews
Reviewed By BarnabyHilbourne - Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom
Every part of our meal at the Glasshouse last weekend was brilliant. The greeting when we entered was welcoming and attentive and this went for the service all the way through. Then the drinks menu was varied, good value and delicious when we'd received our drinks too. Then most importantly, the food was excellent. Our ox cheek and polenta starter was tender, generously glazed and very moorish (though a bigger portion would have been great!); my pork was perfectly cooked, pink, and came with a delicious apple sauce and reduced jus, while my partner's venison, with tiny venison pie looked amazing. Both desserts, a chocolate and hazelnut tart and a poached pineapple with pear sorbet were stunning,a s were the petit fours which accompanied the rich black coffee that we finished with. can't wait to go back!
2. The Bingham Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 790 reviews
The Bingham is Richmond's dining and drinking destination with one of the most picture perfect views of the River Thames. Head Chef, Andrew Cole, creates modern British biased dishes with fresh seasonal ingredients. Service is friendly and responsive in the capable hands of Ricardo Barros and his team. The bar serves authentic cool cocktails and aperitifs made from some of it's garden infusions, such as the Rose vodka. It's a great place for lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and Sunday's where it opens from midday to 7.30pm for a long lazy lunch session. The bar is open from morning for coffee, tea and hot drinks and then by evening for drinks until the sun goes down.

We ate here last night and had the tasting menu, 5 courses for £50. We have visited the Bingham numerous times as it has always provided great service and delivered great food but have left feeling rather let down this time around. The starter of mackerel was nice but the accompaniment lacked flavour, the risotto was undercooked, the beef was chewy and lacked seasoning. The desserts were ok but we were already disappointed. The service was good, what you would expect from an establishment like the Bingham. There are many restaurants in Richmond offering better value for money.
3. A Cena
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 276 reviews
A Cena restaurant is located just over the Richmond Bridge in East Twickenham. A fantastic local italian restaurant set in a warm, friendly, elegant but relaxed atmosphere with a menu that constantly changes to suit the changing seasons and ensuring only the freshest and best ingredients go into our dishes. The wine list is superb ranging from small, modest Italian Vineyards to some of the great names and vintages. A Cena means "at dinner" and is pronounced "Ah Chenna"

Saturday night, and the restaurant was full and lively. Tables well spaced. Great welcome from owner, Justine. There are lots of smart staff, who are helpful and on the ball. Menu reads very seasonally and appetisingly, with lots of veggie options too, and the results were delicious:including mozzarella with chick pea pancakes, lamb with mint salsa verde. Really inviting wine list, all Italian (a good sign in an Italian restaurant, obviously) with useful short descriptions; I asked for guidance and was not pointed to the most expensive.
Definitely going to return.

5. Chez Lindsay
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 477 reviews
Reviewed By Melanie D - Twickenham
We took our daughters to Chez Lindsay for an early evening meal. The food is Breton - perfect for family eating. The service is pitched just right attentive without being invasive. The girls felt grown-up but spoiled. They loved the crepes and sorbets. We enjoyed fish and crepes suzette. Well worth a visit if you are bored with corporate consistency.
6. Al Boccon Di'vino is Non Solo Vino
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 844 reviews
Reviewed By jameswinter - London, United Kingdom
A local institution - no menu, multi course meal, always popular. Don't bother bringing vegetarians. But a most enjoyable and tasty evening for omnivores, albeit a little on the pricey side. Expect to be surrounding by groups celebrating birthdays, and shell out around £75 a head inc. some wine. You won't leave hungry, and you'll get to see a pig's head with an apple in the mouth at your table - a dash of Henry VIII!
7. Q Verde
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 499 reviews
Only six minutes away from the Kew Botanic Gardens, Q Verde is a popular Mediterranean restaurant on Sandycombe Road that has a delightful villagey vibe. Food lovers flock to Q Verde for the wholesome menus and outstanding service, and this family-run restaurant genuinely makes you feel at home the moment you step inside the door. We love the terra cotta coloured walls, black board menus and the general rustic ambience, and the moreish menu is filled with temptations such as the fried chorizo sausage served with crispy rosti potatoes for starters, the fillet of pork with caramelized apples and a Marsala jus for mains, and the traditional tiramasu for dessert.
Reviewed By Steven E - London, United Kingdom
Booked only last minute but they managed to give us a table for 9 pm. Nice atmosphere when we got there, very busy, but were welcomed and seated straight away. Great service throughout and not hurried even though we had a late sitting and so were one of the last to leave. Excellent artichoke and spinach bake to start and lovely calves liver perfectly pink cooked as a main. My wife had warm calamari on a rocket salad and then pasta with garlic and olive oil nicely seasoned and cooked al dents. Great light panna cotta as dessert. Along with the lovely service made for a very nice evening. Definitely recommend!

10. Dragon Inn

Reviewed By Diptych - Hampton, United Kingdom
Our first, but certainly not last visit to The Dragon. All the positive reviews on Trip Advisor are spot on: It's a friendly place with solicitous service, excellent food and a stylish and welcoming ambience. Standouts on our first visit were the crispy duck/hoisin sauce combo and the welcome we received. Ice cold Tsing Tao too. Always a bonus. Thankyou guys, we'll be back if you'll have us.
