Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant in London
Located on the banks of the River Thames, along from Richmond, our Barnes restaurant delivers some pleasing peace from fast-paced London life with river views and a nod to our Cornish homeland. On the menu you’ll find a celebration of the very best fish and shellfish from around the coast and some of our most iconic dishes that have stood the test of time like tronçon of turbot with hollandaise, grilled lobster with fines herbes and sole Véronique. On a clear day, spend an hour or more in our courtyard with a bottle from Charlie’s wine list and a platter of oysters – very nice indeed.
Our team is led by General Manager Luca, who brings a great passion for seafood from his childhood on the beautiful island of Ischia. Growing up fishing with his family and enjoying the freshest catch of the day. In the kitchen, Head Chef Jack draws on his experience in some of London’s finest kitchens, leading his team to master Rick’s timeless seafood dishes.
