The best restaurants serving French food in Richmond upon Thames London

Don't miss the opportunity to go to this lovely restaurant if you are in the area. There are occasionally opportunities to walk in but consider booking to avoid missing a chance at enjoying this restaurants lovely food and overall dining experience. The food, wine and service is all well put together to give you very good value for money. And in my opinion leaves you wanting to go back for more. Thanks to the team that make this place a lovely venue for good meal with family or friends.

Really friendly staff and amazing value for money, big portions for far less than others in the area

One of my favourite places to go for a crepe with my children. Been coming here regularly for a couple of years and it never lets me down. A shame the place is so small but it is well worth going to and in summer one can eat the crepes on Richmond Green which is 25m or so away.

This coffee shop is a small local business. They serve the best coffee in the area in a fantastic and friendly atmosphere. On top of it, they serve breakfast and lunch. The selection of food might not be huge, but the food is fresh and tasty. People who work here are lovely and super friendly. I would recommend this place for a coffee break if you are in the area. They also have some cocktail evenings, so it might be an option when it's too late for a coffee.

Brilliant fun buzzing bar and restaurant! Delicious food, great atmosphere and friendly helpful service! Lucky to have this as a local! Many thanks to all.

Sunday lunch here. One of the best Côte that I have been to. Great staff.

The staff at the Richmond restaurant are awesome, I visit 2-3 times per week with my disabled brother and they go out of their way for us.

First time visit with friends who live nearby and are regulars. If we’d been on a budget the prix fixe would have been very good value. As it happened we all went a la carte because there’s a lot of temptation! Another reviewer mentioned the bread with caper butter - me too! Double cooked soufflé and fennel tart tatin were delicious. As was my whole south coast lemon sole with frites. It’s BYO so no cost for wines (though ours are non-alcoholic so price not a big problem). A Wednesday evening in January so only eight people dining. I don’t mind that at all - you can have an audible conversation. Service was good and food came promptly. Would go again.

Having grown up in Paris, I am very particular when it comes to pâtisserie. Each time I dare to raise my hopes, I am invariably let down. But not yesterday at the French Tarte in Teddington. The Pear & Almond tart is a classic and this did not disappoint; it was skillfully executed, nice to look at, and very good. The Chocolate Tart I eyed with suspicion as it looked like it could be dense and unpleasant. I could not have been more wrong. The first mouthful brought an extraordinary burst of perfect chocolate pleasure. The baguette was equally good - nice crust and chewy crumb. After 26 years in the UK, I think I have finally found a little piece of home. Merci!

I’ve been buying my coffee sometimes lunch in this place since September 2023. I noticed a colleague of mine had been given a loyalty card. When I went in to buy my usual coffee I had asked when did you start doing loyalty cards. He proceeded with a reply of 10 years ago which I said ok and as I was leaving after paying for my coffee he had the cheek to say you should talk less and listen more! Lost a regular customer

Another enjoyable meal - oysters for 2 to start, then chicken and mussels for mains; all was tasty and cooked well. Had a nice bottle of Médoc to accompany the food. Service was friendly and efficient, still feel the ambience could be improved by dimming the lighting slightly and putting a few sound baffles on the ceiling. Having said that, the restaurant was full for our sitting so they're doing well regardless!

Made a booking online for Saturday evening with my family, received booking confirmation through my emails. We arrived at the restaurant only to find it was closed. Not sure why I was able to make a booking for somewhere that wasn't even open. I also wasn't going to leave a review until I got sent an email asking how my experience was 🤷‍♀️
