Chez Lindsay
About
Chez Lindsay, a charming French bistro nestled in Richmond upon Thames, has been a local favourite since 1988. The restaurant brings the flavours of Brittany to the Thames, offering a menu that ranges from classic French starters to a generous selection of fresh seafood and the famed Breton galettes—light, nutty buckwheat pancakes served with a range of savory fillings. With an open‑air dining area overlooking the river and a cosy first‑floor private room that seats up to 40 guests, the venue is ideal for anything from a relaxed town‑side dinner to a memorable private event. The kitchen prides itself on using locally sourced ingredients, producing classic dishes such as bouillabaisse, duck confit, and an enticing variety of cakes and desserts. The galettes are a specialty, cooked to order on a flat griddle and presented either as a starter or a light main, making them a popular choice for guests of all ages. Guests are welcome every day from noon, except Tuesdays when the restaurant is closed, and receive friendly, attentive service that enhances the relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere. Whether you’re dining with friends, celebrating a milestone, or simply enjoying a quiet riverside meal, Chez Lindsay delivers a consistently warm and welcoming dining experience.
