Harden's says
Chef John McClements, who ran the local Ma Cuisine group for three decades (and also founded the highly regarded restaurant McClements in Twickenham), has come out of retirement to launch this modern French bistro with a focus on affordability, just five minutes’ walk from Richmond station on the Kew Road. John trained at the Gleaneagles hotel. On the menu – affordable meat options rather than prime cuts (such as steak tartare, stuffed pigs trotter and ox cheek bordelaise), plus daily fish specials and also vegetarian/vegan options.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Mignonette Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Too prissy for a bistro. Not good enough for fine dining. Too cheap to be good value. It's 1990s style French. Nothing wrong - but there are better alternatives"
"Great food and service, somewhat noisy, but the value for the set lunch was little less than phenomenal."
