London Twickenham Restaurant Guide

This “well-established Twickenham no-frills Japanese restaurant” has an “unchanging menu that never fails to deliver” – “it’s so difficult to get a table and you know why when you eat there: high-quality food at sensible prices”. “Bobby on front of house is great – he knows his locals and welcomes everyone like an old friend”. “The food is fantastic too – we always leave feeling we have had a feast”.

Former Tamarind and Dishoom chef Yousuf Mohammed has “a different take on traditional Indian cuisine, with tapas-style dishes and cocktails making it a great dining experience”. Fans acclaim it as “my type of Indian”, with a focus on “quality not quantity”. Look out for pre- and post-match specials when England or Harlequins are in action at nearby Twickenham or the Stoop.

2021 Review: “Thoughtfully refurbished a few years ago, with a splendid dining room at the rear”, plus “better than average pub food”, and an “excellent and well-kept range of beers on the hand pump” – this Georgian boozer (handy for Twickenham) “ticks all the boxes”. “The Canbury Arms in Kingston upon Thames, which reopened in Spring 2019 after a lengthy refurbishment, is now in the same group” (Pearmain Pubs).

For a quality meal out St Margaret’s way, this conventional French restaurant – set in agreeably old-fashioned Victorian premises – provides a traditional and enjoyable experience that’s consistently well-rated in our annual diners’ poll. Top Tip – good-value ‘menu du jour’ available at lunch and at dinner early in the week.
