Antipodea Kew in Richmond upon Thames

Had lovely dinner yesterday 😋 with my husband.Food is always excellent. Been a few times for breakfast and dinner.Dinner is such good value for money.My favourite drink at Antipodea is violet blossom late ❤️❤️❤️ Must try!!Staff very friendly and treat you well.Thank you guys ❤️

I love the decor and atmosphere of this place, and the team are friendly. But the pizza I had was north the worst and most expensive I had in years. Even though I’m a pizza lover, I couldn’t eat more than half of it! Low quality, poor presentation, looked far too processed and walked out really regretting my visit :/

Table booked for 10am. The restaurant amended it twice, first to 10:30 and then to 10:45 without any notice at all. I don’t think that’s how restaurant reservations normally work?Then I was ignored by the staff trying to order a simple coffee.Thankfully the gentleman behind the bar noticed and ensured I was served. An absolute delight and too good for this establishment.Richmond branch far better.

My friend and I had tables outside, in the spring sunshine.Table service was a little slow, but they were really busy so this was understandable, and our food & drinks arrived surprisingly quickly, given how busy they were.We both had the Eggs Benedict. The eggs perfectly poached, and the yoke a vibrant red/orange - very tasty, accompanied by a superb hollandaise sauce.The ham was disappointing. It was just a thin slice of rather flavourless meat, but the eggs & sauce compensated for this.My big mistake was ordering the Lamington - and ordering "take away". Had we been dining inside, I probably wouldn't have ordered one because I would have seen how puny they were in the display cabinet inside.The first indication of the size was when my friend looked in the box and warned me that I would not be impressed.I decided to reserve judgement until I got home. If it still tasted good, then we could forgive the small serving, right?It weighed 134g vs the average weight of lamingtons I buy in London of 220 grams. There was no cream layer inside and only a thin thin scraping of jam. The sponge was EXTREMLY dry.If I had ordered it to eat-in, I would have sent it back after one bite. As it was, it ended up in my rubbish bin - and I never throw food away. I've eaten some bad cakes in my time but I do believe this one was one of the worst.Dear Antipodea Baker - please go to Blackbird Bakery to see & taste a good lamington. What was served to me was disgraceful.NB: the last photo is of what a lamington should look like. It did NOT come from Antipodea

Cozy place with a good range of options to choose from the menu. The staff is friendly and the sourdough is amazing, so any option with it will be surely good!The option with avocado, feta and chorizo is a must try 😋😋Will be back for sure!

We have visited Antipodea on many occasions and I love the portobello mushrooms on toast. However, our latest visit was really disappointing - we went especially for pancake day and had some really lack lustre pancakes. The special was listed as mork pancakes with maple syrup and caramelised banana. The maple syrup wasn’t there and the banana was chopped up in the pancake (definitely not caramelised!). My blueberry pancakes were under done and I had to ask for maple syrup on the side as barely any was given - the creme fraiche listed was a smear on the top of one pancake. Both of us felt we could have made better at home. To be fair to the waitress, she noticed that the mork pancakes were poorly presented and was apologetic, however she only took £2 off the bill. £31 for a hot chocolate, tea and two lots of tasteless pancakes stung a little. I’m sorry to say it’s put us off coming back.

Looooooove some early mornings or later brunchings at this place (breakfast is actually served all day), the staff are the best, menu is fantastic and food is spot on!

Great little cafe with a nice modern designed interior. Have a great menu with plenty of options, so would definitely be 5 stars for their menu. Their sweet corn fritters come in a very generous portion of 3 large fritters, the accompanying sauce was nice but not a match winner. Overall I would definitely visit again to try some of the other items on the large menu.

This restaurant serves delicious breads, the eggs are so good and the meats were well done. The price is on the higher end but the food compromised for it. I love the food we ate.

I am still thinking about my dinner last night. Absolutely loved the chicken parm. The salad was so fresh. The chicken was so yummy. The fries were perfect. Very comforting.
