I know people rave about this place and It has a Michelin Green Star, however my family and I were so disappointed. It was my daughters 16th Birthday and she especially wanted to come and experience the food and ambience. For a set £90 per head for 3 course before drinks, there was no other options to have less food. The appetizers listed were so common place and uninspired. Melon with prosciutto and bruschetta with tomatoes??? My partner and I don’t eat bacon so we were given a small piece of the melon with a basil leaf instead.Three of us had the linguine with chili crab and one had the Scottish griolles on bruschetta. The crab linguine was like eating pasta swimming in lemon dish water. It was overly lemony and you couldn’t taste the crab at all. The mushrooms on toast were soggy and again nothing special.For mains the girls fared better, one had the lamb and the other the beef which was reasonable. I had the plaice and my partner had the sea bream. Unfortunately both dishes were absolutely tasteless. I would say that I have a discerning palate and can appreciate the more subtle flavors of these two fish dishes but I’m afraid I had to basically force myself to finish the fish so that I wouldn’t waste the £30 it cost to have this dish in front of me. The potato side we ordered was overly salted so was jarring against the flavourless fish.Two of the desserts were the only discernible dishes that were remotely passable from the menu we experienced this evening. The strawberry cheesecake and the peach frangipane tart which were nice enough but for £30 for each dessert I was expecting something special. one of my daughters ordered the tiramisu, which was a deconstructed version of the dessert and it was a hopeless effort that came with a side of very strong expresso which they didn’t explain at all. So unbeknownst to my daughter she poured most of it over the dessert and the end result was inedible.The atmosphere wasn’t that great, the staff were attentive in a slightly haughty way but I wish they would have explained the dishes a little more. All in all I will not be back and I will give an honest opinion to anyone that asks me about our visit to the restaurant, this is the worst meal I have had all year.

It is a lovely place for a Sunday afternoon, great atmosphere. The food is up to standards, loved the quail and tender soft pork cheeks. Wine is great but expensive.

I have to say, I was pretty disappointed with my experience at this place. My friend and I went for a two-course set menu, added an appetiser, but didn't order any drinks, and the bill came to £125. Now, I don't mind paying for good food, but what we got wasn't worth that kind of money.Our first course was just some ordinary tomatoes on a plate. Not exactly the most exciting or creative dish. The second course was a chickpea curry with pakoras and bread, a dish that usually doesn't cost much to make. But they somehow managed to mess it up. It didn't taste Indian at all. It was like they took a traditional Indian dish, stripped it of all its authenticity, and then jacked up the price. The bread was undercooked inside and burnt outside, and the rice was undercooked and crunchy, so we ended up leaving most of our mains because we just couldn't eat it.It seems like this place cares more about looking good than serving good food. So, I can't recommend eating here. If you're interested in it at all, maybe just go to look at the plants. They were the only things worth seeing.

Beautiful place to wander through. Lovely pretty space, selling garden and house plants, plus items and gifts for the home.The café & restaurants were extremely overpriced.

Petersham Nurseries Restaurant is a romantic place for afternoon fun in Richmond. The food is a bit overpriced, limited choose in the menu, you can only select two courses for £55 or £65 for three courses. vegetable salad fish are quite fresh and cooked to a good standard,highly recommended.

I have to admit, I’ve sort of become accustomed to going to restaurants with good reputations expecting to be disappointed- they so often fail to live up the the hype. This absolutely is not the case with Petersham Nursery Restaurant- lunch today was superb.The food was superb - dishes were each a little bit different, without trying to be too clever. Service was excellent - welcoming without being too fussy. And the setting was lovely (helped by a wonderful late summer day).We last went here almost 10 years ago, when it was just starting to build its reputation - I’m now sorry we didn’t go back sooner.For once, a restaurant with an great reputation exceeded my expectations!

One of my favourite places in the world! Beautiful decor, lovely staff and the food is delicious. I had a better experience eating here during the week than at the weekend (it was very busy and we had to chase several times).

Fabulous experience. The staff were efficient and friendly, the food was excellent, and the menu offered choices that were delightful. Definitely worth making a special day of it and having a nice lunch. Make sure to allow plenty of time to browse all of the garden and home goods shops. Very tempting selections from which to choose.

Gorgeous place and wonderful atmosphere. Unfortunately, I came on a Saturday afternoon when they were swamped. While we were seated in decent time, it took the friendly young waiters a long time to take our orders as they were swamped. We chose to sit outdoors as indoors was too loud to have a conversation. The food was fine, but nothing remarkable. I appreciate it was food made on site, hence 4 stars but would have liked some garnishing on the dishes- a little bit of green would have been appreciated. I am sure their fine dining resto with fine dining prices is much better. Price wise I thought it was expensive for what we received and I will be honest; not sure how often I will return. It’s one of those places you go for the gorgeous gardeny atmosphere to catch up with a friend.

Food and atmosphere were amazing. Service was good but they forgot to bring our teas with the afternoon tea menu, which I was not expecting from a place like this. I took my family who was visiting for the afternoon tea and they truly enjoyed it (including two kids aged 9-10). We all got afternoon tea menus and each bite was an experience. The place is lovely as well and you can spend some times going through the plants shop and lifestyle shop as well. Perfect lunch plan if you are going to Richmond park for a stroll before! Will definitely come back again soon!
