From Richmond to Chiswick

Saturday, November 09th , 2024

 

Mignonette is a new restaurant in Richmond, a French bistro run by a chef with considerable culinary heritage. I happened to have two meals in quick succession there, and the one where the head chef was present was noticeably better than the one where he was not. Nonetheless even the lesser meal was very good, and the general standard of cooking was high even in these early days. As it settles down this is likely to be one of the best dining options in Richmond.

La Trompette is a west London stalwart, serving consistently good food from an appealing seasonal menu, and with an excellent and fairly priced wine list as a bonus. The service is classy here and it really has the whole package. I am lucky to live within walking distance of it.
