Cruffins!
Damien O.

I hear about the viral Cruffin and of course I had to stop by. Had the steak, fries and onion soup and all were incredible. Absolutely enjoyed my meal. Of course I had to ask for the cruffin and now i know why it's viral! it did not disappoint! It was light and airy and taste amazing. They have different flavors every week and I can tell you it doesn't matter what flavor you get because it's sooo good. Richoux is busy so just be prepared to handle the crowds. The ambiance is what you'd expect. Busy.

Cruffins
Dante M.

The famous croissant muffins, popularly known as cruffins, has popped up in my Instagram explore page wayyyy too many times for me not to make this a priority food stop on my trip to London! The cafe is super modern, and they even have high tea offered! We stopped in and sat towards the front as we weren't dining in or anything. We ordered three different cruffins (all of the ones the had for the day), which included a banoffee, a peanut butter and jelly, and a hazelnut and praline. They were all super tasty, but our favorite was surprisingly the PB&J because of the contrast of sweet and salty. The cruffins is such a cool concept, and is actually a must try in the area! I loved my experience here, and if we had more time I definitely would have wanted to try their high tea and other pastries!

Best pastries ever!

Cute French spot with delicious pastries. I highly recommend the strawberry one with a cup of tea.

The food was great, but the service was not. It was a busy time (albeit on a Wednesday at 1 pm) but seemed understaffed. The eggs benedict and fries were great though, and everyone I dined with enjoyed their food. The atmosphere was great, so maybe we just had a bad waitperson.

Finger sandwiches and tea
Haley L.

My husband and I wandered in here when we were walking by. Cute place! We decided we wanted to sit by the front so we could look out at the window and people watch. This was our first "afternoon tea" experience as we are from America. Great tea, one pot was enough for us to share. We also ordered the finger sandwiches which were delicious and came with cucumber, ham and cheese, salmon, and egg options. Lots of food for pretty cheap!

croque monsieur

Absolutely amazing. We stopped by for a quick bite and if I lived here I would come here everyday. Get a Cruffin!!!! Service amazing, staff awesome, scenery was gorgeous. Il come back everytime I'm in the area!

Salmon with scrambled eggs

Charming place in the heart of Mayfair. We stopped by there for a birthday brunch for my sister. Good service, average food. The hollandaise souse was lucking the flavor due to overpowering presence of the vinegar on my eggs royale.

Even though this Tea House is not listed among the 27 best on Tripadvisor, it is high on MY list. Just across from Burlington Arcade, this French Tearoom has among the most wonderful scones to offer. The English tea culture unquestionably has unparalleled style and has occasionally been missed across the Atlantic pond. Richoux used to require a bit of patience to get in, which this time around was not that difficult. Just an excellent and quiet place to replenish.

Tiramisu
Nelly H.

This place is extremely fancy and the food is delicious! They have a wide variety of desserts so it's a great place for not just a good lunch but an afternoon tea as well. The pricing is just fine, good for such a nice place. I definitely recommend this place to anyone passing by. It's very aesthetic and a beautiful place to eat. I tried their tiramisu and a bit of their strawberry cake. The tiramisu was a little heavy on the coffee, but was still one of the best ones I've ever had. The strawberry cake was light and airy and had the perfect texture for a shortcake.

Richoux looks pretty fancy and spacious on the inside. I only came here for hot chocolate and a vanilla cheesecake. The prices for them were just fine. Although, if you're getting lunch the price range will surely range from £11-15 as I took a small peak at the lunch menu. I can't really say much for the lunch menu because I only really ordered desserts. Everything I ordered was good!

Afternoon tea
Camille L.

The place is really beautiful, and that's enjoyable. We ordered an afternoon tea, which is made of finger sandwiches, scones, a pastry and a tea (or hot chocolate). The food was excellent, and we couldn't even finish! If I ever come back to London, I'll definitely make another stop here!

I couldn't go to London without sampling an authentic high tea, could I? My friends suggested Richoux, which is supposedly French, but I just followed the locals and suspended by disbelief. The exterior is bright red and classy, and the inside feels very art deco old money pretty. The ceiling is stained glass and the carpets are lush. That said, the restaurant was on the dim side and certain elements of the service made the experience a little less posh, but still good. That said, please don't come in with flip flops, shorts, or tank tops... You would feel awkward. My table ordered the traditional afternoon tea, which comes with finger sandwiches (smoked salmon, egg mayonnaise, cucumber chicken), warm baby scones, strawberry preserve and Cornish clotted cream, rich fruit cake and a pastry with tea, coffee or a mug of hot chocolate. Each person got their own pot of tea and we opted for extra scones. I loved the baby scones - they were the perfect size for tea and to avoid carbing it up too much. They were buttery and fluffy, but I could have skipped on the raisins mixed in. The sandwiches were good, but a little dry. I was expecting open faced sandwiches, but they were full sandwiches with bread on both sides. I loathed the fruit cake, but I've never been a fan anyway. Others at the table who are not so averse to fruitcake said it was tasty. And the raspberry pastry (that looked like a giant macaron) was fantastic. I also really enjoyed my Richoux "own blend" of breakfast tea, which was smooth and well rounded without being steeped too long. The Richoux Earl Grey was also tasty with good notes of bergamot. However, I found the jasmine tea to be too bland, with not enough fragrance to make it distinctive. (Yes, I know its supposed to be a light tea. This was basically drinking hot water.) The service was mediocre. While we had a reservation and the restaurant was only 20% occupied, we still had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. When we were seated, one of the chairs was covered in powdered sugar. Since my group was a little young and a bit casual, I felt that service was a bit disdainful of us, even though were were not being loud or disruptive. (Perhaps we didn't order enough for them?) Our tea and food came after a 20 minute wait and they let us leisurely enjoy our tea, but it did take a while to get the check. The price is good, especially if you're splitting the tea among a party of 4. But if you're a small party, it will feel very expensive until "tea" really means "lunch" to you.

A fantastic restaurant offering the best afternoon tea in London. Forget the Savoy or the Ritz this is the place to be. The place is steeped in history and the decor is truly wonderful (Chinese inspired). Ideally located to Fortnum and Masons, Picadilly and the Royal Academy. This is one of those rare places where you could truly forget you are in the center of London.

This was such a cute little French restaurant. We came here on Valentines day and they had a…read morespecial menu. We got the duck and steak! Both were really flavorful and paired well with the sides. The duck was extremely tender. The dessert was a chocolate creme brulee - delicious!!

I've now been here twice and have really enjoyed it! It is an adorable French restaurant in a great…read morelocation. Recently, I went with the prixe fixe menu with three courses. I started with the Camembert Frit (Camembert cheese coated in breadcrumbs, fried, and served with redcurrant and raspberry coulis). This was delicious! The cheese paired so well with the raspberry coulis and it was no greasy at all (perfectly fried). For my main course, I got the Steak d'Agneau au Romarin Grilled lamb steak with red wine & rosemary sauce (served with sautéed potatoes). This was delicious as well! The lamb steak was so tender and flavorful and the sauce went so well with it. The potatoes also went very well with the lamb. I have also had their Filets de Cabillaud Rôti (baked cod fillets with sun-dried tomato and cream sauce), served with leek and potato mash. This was excellent! The cod was so fresh and the sauce was to-die-for! I could have licked all of the sauce off of my plate (if it were socially acceptable haha). The sauce was so fresh and paired so well with the fish. The potato mash was also fantastic--perfect texture. For dessert, I had a rhubarb tart. This was delicious! I loved how the tart wasn't too sweet and I could really taste the rhubarb. The service was also excellent. The servers and managers were very attentive and considerate of my husband's allergies. They were super accommodating, which is the reason we came back again! The have a great price for their prixe fixe menu. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! In a nut shell, great service, excellent food, fair prices and great ambience!
