Le Salon Prive in Richmond upon Thames

We recently had our wedding reception here after a recommendation from a friend and a couple of meals beforehand. Food and service is wonderful, the wine list is very reasonable without the inflated prices you seem to find in some restaurants, and the restaurant itself very pretty.Our wedding guests loved the food (and the wine!) and the negronis are pretty good too!Thanks to Gianluca, Renato and the team for helping make our wedding day so special!

Please clean the place. I really enjoyed this place as I felt it was out of the way enough to make you feel like you were actually in some remote french town having a meal at your local chop house. The food was fantastic and amazingly prepared by a well known chef. My only gripe was that the place didn't feel all too clean. The wine glasses we received had dust on them and I noticed old cobwebs around the light fixtures near the windows. Would have been 5 stars if not for that.

Our third time here, the food is great, good veggi menu, not cheap but good value for a special night out. Book, don't just drop in.

Just paid over £54 pounds for a dry very small steak with NO sides and dry cake....Staff look down on you.Don't waste your moneySo many better places near.Why waste £54 on a meal for one mid week...

We had our wedding celebration at Le Salon Prive back in October.Absolutely fantastic dishes, service and atmosphere !Chef Jan Luca is amazing chef.We definitely will recommend this place for family celebrations.Our guests enjoyed food very much.Children dishes were a big success .Even fussy eaters children haven’t left anything on the plate.

I think our expectations were a little too high which isn't necessarily fair on the restaurant. The freshly baked bread with caper butter was delicious, however, I think the oil is due a change as both the crispy hen egg and fries were tainted with a slightly unusual flavour.

Chic French restaurant in St Margaret's. French Classics done well and with a twist. Good for special occasions.

We got our New Year's eve takeaway dinner, the fillet was so nice, soft like butter it would melt in your mouth and perfectly cooked.I didn't love the foigras unfortunately was too tasteless for me.I would love to go back after the lockdown and enjoy the service too, I think it will allow me to have a better picture of this Restaurant.

A little magic in Twickenham –This restaurant is a little gem. High quality French style food at affordable prices. Everything is made and cooked in house except the lovely warm bread from a local bakery. We went on a Groupon Voucher but will return. It has fixed priced 3 course lunch menus Tues-Sat for £20 and dinner menus at £25 from Tues-Thurs. Two courses also available slightly cheaper. There are also imaginative vegetarian menu options. The a la carte menu has wonderful offers like you would find at top French bistros in Paris. It is but a bit pricier but if you are looking for first class cordon bleu cooking at half top restaurant prices, this is your place. It has a wine list to die for. If you want the patron to suggest wines for courses, he will do so. The patron is Gianluca di Monaco who was sous chef for Pierre Koffmann and Heinz Beck and has been head chef for the King of Saudi Arabia. After 25 years in the kitchen, he has stepped out to front of house passing the baton to his former sous chef and 28-year-old understudy, Andrea Sonzobni, who is also Italian. It is simply wonderful French food in a cosy, warm setting. The windows have stunning stain glass to compliment the interior of wooden floors and hand carved panels. French paintings adorn the walls. You can book a private room off the main restaurant for up to 6 people in the main restaurant or if you want to hold a party there are two rooms upstairs seating 22 and 14 people respectively, perfect for a party. It has an inviting ambience with a lively buzz and local feel on the Friday night we went. The father and son next to us had come from Shropshire and Staffordshire to watch rugby and go to this restaurant whenever in town. They ordered the Chateaubriand for two which looked enormous and perfectly cooked. We ordered off the fixed price menu homemade pheasant terrine, with remoulade and pistachio. Full of flavour and perfect texture. The chef explained how time consuming it was to make from fresh pheasant. My only quibble was that you had to order bread separately at £3. My wife had the pan-fried seabass, salsify and crayfish ragout which was perfectly cooked, succulent with a crispy skin. I had pork cheek, pomme puree and lentil and pancetta sauce. Wow, was it tasty. All portions were generous as shown. Side orders are charged at £3.75 extra each with perfectly cooked spinach, sprouting broccoli and the best Gratin dauphinoise at £4.75 either of us had ever tasted to accompany. The desserts are equally flavourful: banana sorbet with dark chocolate buttons and warm prune tart and calvados ice cream ordered by us. A lovely finish to a fantastic meal. It has been there for five years, but get in before you cannot get in. A real find.

Every bite, perfection. Very quaint and romantic. I popped in for lunch but would love to have a dinner here. Lovely music and decor, and amazing food. A little on the pricey side but worth it. You should try!
