Richmond is the kind of place that makes you forget you’re in London altogether.
Completely removed from the bustle of London, the area boasts a village-like feel, acres of rolling woodlands (hello Richmond Park) and the calmness of the Thames, all under one charming London neighbourhood.
To enjoy the area properly, I suggest starting in the morning, and with the morning, comes brunch.
In this post, I’ll be sharing where to find the best brunch in Richmond, where to find the best bottomless brunch in Richmond, outdoor brunch spots in Richmond, vegan and vegetarian brunch in Richmond and things to do in Richmond after your brunch. Enjoy!
Where to Brunch in Richmond: 10 Best Breakfast Spots
1. The Petersham Restaurant
Nightingale Ln, Richmond TW10 6UZ
Leave it to The Petersham Restaurant to be one of the best hotels in Richmond and have one of the best brunches too.
A Richmond hotspot housing commanding views of the Thames, you can enjoy the best of British brunch here — with a traditional Full English that’ll make you fall in love.
If you’re looking for a vegan breakfast in Richmond, they’ve got you covered too. Their plant-based brunch comes with vegan sausage, mushroom, roasted tomatoes, spinach and hash browns (plus a choice of warm toast) so there’s truly something for everyone here.
Their speciality tea is also not one to miss, with a choice of Ceylon, Earl Grey, Peppermint or Chamomile Tea to accompany your meal. Or you can indulge with some luxury bubble, the choice is yours!
Must-Try: Full English or Smokehouse Salmon
2. Antipodea
30 Hill St, Richmond TW9 1TW
Antipodea is the perfect combination of trendy and delicious (hard to get with Instagrammable cafes in London!).
The relaxed Aussie-brasserie stays true to culture, with healthy brunch dishes front and centre. Housemade Muesli Bars and freshly baked banana bread are all the norm here. But of course, there’s some Australian favourites too (like the Vegemite, Honey, Marmite and Nutella on toast anybody?).
The interiors instantly make you feel like you’ve stepped into a palm oasis. But if you’re in the mood for some people watching, you can take your breakfast to their lovely patio, making it one of the best outdoor brunch spots in Richmond too.
Must-Try: Blueberry Pancakes and Antipodea Housemade Granola
3. 144 on the Hill
149-150 Richmond Hill, Richmond TW10 6RW
Is it just me or does 144 on the Hill already sound like its going to be an amazing brunch spot (*hint hint* it is!).
Sitting pretty on Richmond Hill, 144 is where the locals go to start their mornings, with a Georgian backdrop and delicious breakfast of course.
Signature stacked pancakes, Avacado Benedict and the Smoked haddock Florentine all take the cake here, but their House Bloody Mary and Homemade fruit punch also deserves a mention. Not a bad way to brunch in Richmond!
Must-Try: 144 Pancake Stacks
4. No 1 Duke Street
1 Duke St, Richmond TW9
As soon as you walk into No 1 Duke Street you’ll feel like part of the neighbourhood.
The white and mint-green oasis is one of Richmond’s most beautiful brunch spots, but luckily, the food’s good too. With every item on their menu made from scratch, you can feast on all things sustainable goodness here, from Coconut Chia Bowls to Avacado, Feta, Lime & Chili on toast.
If you prefer your breakfast in Richmond on the sweeter side, I have four words for you — Carmelised. Banana. Ricotta. Pancakes. Thank me later.

Aussie avo toast anyone? Head to Kapucin.
Home to ‘Love, Laughter & Great Coffee’ it’s no wonder this friendly cafe has become a Richmond hotspot.

There’s also a lush private garden if you’re looking for outdoor brunch spots in Richmond.
Must-Try: Shakshuka with a side of Bacon and Burrata
6. Bingham Riverhouse
61-63 Petersham Rd, Richmond TW10 6UT
Bingham Riverhouse is a glorious spot to have brunch in Richmond. The stately home doubles as a brunch venue — you know, the kind with spilling chandeliers and a sunny terrace?
But outside of the old school charm of the Bingham, their breakfast menu makes it well worth the visit.
Whether it’s feasting on all the Black Pudding and Creamy Porridge you can handle, to simply going for a traditional English and taking in the view, any brunch here is sure to be an experience.
It’s also sinfully close to the Richmond riverside, perfect a stroll along the Thames after your brunch date.

8. Hollyhock Café
146 Petersham Rd, Richmond TW10 6UX
Hollyhock Café is one of Richmond’s most hidden brunch spots, but it’s worth finding.
Tucked amongst Richmond Hill in a fairytale cottage of sorts, Hollyhock Café is a vegetarian treasure trove of breakfast finds. Outside of its whimsical aura, every taste bud and preference is accounted for here with organic to gluten-free options that were clearly not an afterthought.
Enjoy fresh cakes, vegetarian pasties and speciality tea all whilst taking in the magical scenery of the Hollyhock.

A London staple for casual dining and good eats, Slug and Lettuce’s bottomless brunch in Richmond is truly second to none.
Believing brunch is in fact, the most important meal of the day (true) you can pair your morning with bottomless bubbly for two hours alongside their set brunch menu, all for £28.
