Cocotte Richmond - (Near Richmond upon Thames, South East)

Jose Castellanos My wife and I were rushing to the airport and got a bit lost, some train lines were closed, and stumbling upon this place in a hurry and quite hungry. We ordered two pork bao and two Thai milk teas. The bao was freshly handmade on the spot, and super juicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The Thai milk tea was equally satisfying, perfectly hitting the spot. The service was impressively quick, which was a lifesaver given our tight schedule. We ordered, waited just a few minutes, ate, and were back on our way. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We’ll definitely return the next time we’re in the UK.

Isobel Hands down some of the best coffee in London, and just a short walk from the station. This is a truly lovely independent café, serving freshly made pastries, cakes and a delicious brunch menu. The coffee is exceptional: silky, smooth and full of flavour. Easily the best we’ve had in the city! The owners are warm, welcoming and genuinely attentive, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommended!

Rhiannon Williams Delicious food. Lovely location. Great if you have a trainspotter in your friends/family circles as its right next to the railway station. The decor is fab tying in with the Kew garden theme, the staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. The bar was full because of rugby 6 nations Games and the Olympics but the noise and atmosphere was fun and not too unwelcoming or raucous. The indoor dining is in a separate area to the main bar. There were plenty of people sat outside even on a cold February Eve. It seems like its a local favourite.

Laura Konieczny Saxon took care of our champagne brunch with great ease and kindness. We enjoyed the food and the ambiance, although quiet it’s expected for January but service didn’t waiver. Look forward to coming back!

Nancy Somra We had a wonderful experience at Ottolenghi in Richmond. From the start, Kevin took amazing care of us, ensuring we had a comfortable area perfect for our family with kids. He walked us through the menu, recommended dishes based on our dietary needs, and handled last-minute requests (including a fish dish for the kids) with complete ease. The food was exceptional — full of flavour and beautifully presented. For our first visit, it couldn’t have been better, and we’re already excited to come back again. A special thank-you to Kevin, whose attentiveness, warmth, and professionalism truly elevated the whole experience. He made us feel completely looked after and turned a lovely brunch into something memorable.

K. Cem Çelik An outstanding experience from start to finish. I had heard positive things, but it still surpassed my expectations. The service was impeccable, always delivered with genuine warmth. The food was exceptional, and the generous portions completed a truly memorable evening. We left both impressed and happy.
