The Petersham Restaurant

Panoramic Views, Impeccable Service, Exquisite Cuisine

A visit to the Petersham Hotel’s restaurant is akin to stepping into an old friend’s warmly inviting dining room, expertly positioned to deliver jaw-dropping views of the river Thames along with your Eggs Benedict. The establishment seems to have captured an aura that blends effortlessly chic interiors with a palpable ’smile as you step in’ atmosphere, particularly curated by the exemplary Mr. Umit Eruyar and his effervescent team. Here, service is given a name and personality; whether it was Atan’s attentive presence at breakfast or Chris’ enthusiasm for planning the perfect 80th birthday bash, what's clear is the unfaltering commitment to making every occasion a special affair.

Delicious combinations come to life on tastefully set plates where classics such as the Minted Lamb Croquette mingle gracefully with decadent new creations like Pan-Fried Sea Trout. Each meal commences a charming culinary waltz — perfectly orchestrated and comfortably dancing between decadence and simplicity, much like the brilliant landscape just beyond your window table. For an outing possibly as momentous as my Father’s Day dinner there, indulging in the quintessential afternoon tea might offer lesser theatricality but comes buoyed by extraordinary views and plush, embracing seats. Whether it's a humble breakfast, a leisurely lunch, or a cream-infused afternoon degustation, Petersham Hotel warmly promises to deliver what Richmond has unknowingly yearned: dining with definitive elegance, sans the lab coat formalities. — Milo Tastemaker
