She gushed over her and her partner's trek out to quaint and romantic Richmond and her fine dining experience at the cutest restaurant located in a nursery. Definitely glad I took my butt out there - an easy train ride and one transfer bus away! It was still quite a warm August but so so beautiful. The nursery kind of comes upon you out of nowhere after walking down some hidden paths that pass by picturesque fields and a beautiful but quiet cemetery. The staff are very friendly and kind. There's a slow but graceful atmosphere with everyone on the nursery grounds. Initially got seated at their café to do a light brunch or afternoon tea, but decided last minute to get up and compare the menu at their restaurant side, which seemed much more intriguing. I realized then that my friend was talking about the restaurant when she spoke of their food. I was seated in the most beautiful greenhouse with very farm-to-table esque vibes, trailing vines and flowers, rustic table setting with delicate decor. The restaurant was packed on a random Wednesday lunch! Highly highly HIGHLY recommend getting reservations well in advance because it was an excruciating wait for almost an hour to get a table as a walk-in (the hosts could not guarantee me seating even if I did wait). The service was impeccable, food was sublime! I ordered the 4 course meal and arrival cocktail for £100 because whenever else would I be able to come out here? Live life with a bang! It was the right choice to get a more well-rounded introduction to the food. Apps started with the Zucchini Fritti and the Melon & Prosciutto. Oh my gosh! The zucchini flowers deep fried were so so so good! I don't think I've ever had this ingredient before and it was a revelation. The dish came out piping hot. The sauce was very good as well. The honey melon was so sweet and juicy. Starters were the Burrata & poached apricots, and the Paccheri with a tomato sauce and mussels. I loved the burrata! The apricots together with the pink peppercorn definitely elevated this dish! The paccheri was good too, but not my favorite (like a rigatoni pasta with very Chef Boyardy esque flavored tomato sauce lol) but it was nice and smooth. The mains were the Pan Seared Stone Bass (highly recommended and fan favorite) and their Haye Farm chargrilled ribeye aged 35 days. The bass!!! Oh my god, the bass!! I could write poems and dedicate songs to it, it was that good and I could have licked the sauce off the plate clean. It was so divine. Ribeye was okay, not worth the extra supplemental cost. I think it tasted like any steak, nothing out of ordinary. But they ended on a high note with the desserts!! I'm so sad but I definitely did NOT take a picture of the dessert menu. I got what seemed like a deconstructed strawberry cheesecake (but with the consistency of flan, and a sugary crust like a creme brulee). It was divine with this basil sauce!! The sorbet was also a refreshing kicker, I think raspberry flavored? But so so good. I have to give it all 5 stars, and dream about coming back whenever I visit London again.

I'll admit, hiking out to Richmond for tea wasn't my plan originally, but the place had gotten such…read moregood reviews, and there wasn't really tea to be had on such short notice in the city, so I was happy to head out there. Had a delightful afternoon tea with friends outside. They even spotted some deer on the path nearby on their way! :-) Prices are reasonable, though you'll be hit with the standard-in-London 12.5% service charge, even though they label it as "discretionary" :-)

An academic from the early 90s…read moreonward, like many scholars, I have spent more hours of my life in cafes than almost anywhere else. I long to find the perfect spot, where the bakery items, food, coffee, espresso, setting, friendliness of the staff, everything come together. Trust me when I say that this is the real deal. R & H Cafe is my favorite cafe in the world, maybe tied slightly with a great place on Rue de Abbesses in Paris, called Cuillier. I have eaten there about six times in the last two weeks. I can tell you that the people working here are some of the nicest cafe owners I've ever met. The baked goods are made fresh weekly and offer some of the most unique and interesting recipes I've encountered in cafe. I highly suggest their moist and decadent banana bread. Even I'm not sure how banana bread gets that delicious. Hopefully, when you get there, they will have the carrot cake loaf, which is completely unlike American carrot cake (thank goodness). The R & H version lacks raisins and nuts baked into the load. Instead, it has a light frosting that hints of maple, and then has black sesame seeds on top with a few walnuts. The taste is exotic. Second, I highly suggest the Apricot Pistachio cake. I don't normally like dried fruits and nuts in my dessert and this may be one of the best items I've eaten in my London travels. The raisin cookie is surprisingly great, considering I do not even like raisins. And that should really tell you something: I don't like dried fruits in bread and order theirs. I don't like raisins but order their raisin cookie. My point being that this place does everything so well that I trust them. I want to see what amazing things they do with ingredients. If they have fresh made saffron bundt cakes: order one. Pair it with either their great Nude espresso or cappuccinos. Oh, and as if all of this wasn't enough: they make incredible savory egg dishes! I had the one with pinto beans in a Persian spicy sauce. Blew me away how great it was. They have a fantastic, small gallery upstairs. And if you live in the area, they seem to also have prefix menu nights when they cook dinners. I didn't have one of their dinners, but I know wine enough to see that the bottles they have up on the wall are very thoughtfully considered. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place, the ladies who work there, the cuteness of the ambiance, the fantastic Iranian and Sufi music they play, and more than anything else: the baked goods and espresso drinks.

An amazing exploration of the senses especially that of taste. Experienced our first supper club…read moredinner at R&H after only being here a week. The family style atmosphere was welcoming as diners arrived from a variety of backgrounds in what was to be an experience of Persian delights. Normally we visit R&H for coffee and breakfast which in itself is amazing. This time it was for a monthly supper club. Not knowing what to expect we enjoyed a bottle of wine from South Africa and an amazing first course made from yoghurt and spinach along with tasty cheese, olives, walnuts, bread and an authentic Iranian drink - fantastic. Then a traditional soup with lentil and pasta which I took great joy in as I dipped my Iranian bread into the bowl. Then came the rice frittata and Salmon made to perfection. Finally fig cake (and special for me a poached beetroot with nuts). All topped off with great coffee. Wow and amazing are too simple a set of adjectives to describe the meal, experience and our hosts Zara and Mahren! So come to Richmond and to R&H and grab a coffee and a great meal. Then come to the next R&H supper club and prepare to enjoy one of London's best culinary gems!
