The service was very friendly, although slo-o-o-o-w, when I came here recently with a friend from SW France. We shared a fantastique seafood platter, fresh and tasty, as can be - accompanied by a wonderfully fragrant white wine.

Perfect if you want a lo-o-o-ng leisurely meal and a good catch-up but perhaps not ideal if it’s some speedy fast fuel you’re after. The seafood platter is a treat, both in terms of taste and price, although there is something here for all budgets; at lunchtime, especially, you can enjoy a real bargain repas and, in the evening, the prix fixe menu is tantalising and good value. I must go back soon!

Great French restaurant in Richmond. It has very good food, very French service staff (they speak to you in French, and expect you to try and communicate back in French) and a cosy atmosphere.

I’ve only ever been there for lunch (£8+) on a weekday, but it feels like more of a dinner place. The wine and drinks tend to be on the slightly expensive side (e.g. I wouldn’t think French cider would be so costly).

Would happily eat my way through the menu. Everyone raves about the authentic crepes, but I’d rather eat the proper mains (steak, seafood, etc).

I am French and I frequently go there to eat traditional food (especially les galettes as I am from Bretagne region). Service and food are good. Good location.

Excellent French food moments from Richmond riverside. Try the duck or the fillet. Both excellent. As you can imagine, the crepes here are extremely good - I'd recommend starting with one! Great selection of wine. The house wine is very good for what you pay. Service leaves a little bit to be desired, but i guess they are going for the authentic french feel. In which case, they've got it spot on! :)

People may tell you to visit Chez Lindsey for their famous crepes or "galettes" but there are other typically French items on the menu...such as snails!

The galettes are really delicous and filling. Try the one with roquefort and leeks. The wine is a bit pricey but there are some nice French beers too such as Meteor from the Alsace Lorraine region. If you're lucky enough you may get a table by the open windows looking out over the river. On an evening the candlelit atmosphere is cosy and if you want it to be; romantic!

The head waiter always gives good service, taking your coat off with a flourish etc but I have experienced a slightly more cold French welcome from some of the waiters..don't let it put you off, an entente cordiale was soon reached on receipt of a smile.

Note: check your bill, sometimes they leave things off and sometimes add things on!

Chez Lindsay is my favourite retaurant in Richmond by some margin. It's great value, and does a cracking range of Breton dishes - which means crepes, lovely dry cider in earthenware cups, and excellent seafood. The oysters here are out of this world, the mussels are excellent. For a main I really like the foie de veux with mash and peas. If you want to come for lunch you can get a crepe for around 3-5 pounds too. It's very friendly, very French, and very laid back. Recommended.

This is a great place if you fancy a french style crepe in an unpretentious environment. This is the real mccoy with french staff throughout. The food is tasty, reliable fare - good for a family meal or a quick evening out,

Most of the time the service is friendly though we have also encountered flashes of grumpiness which would rival the surliest Parisian waiter. Decor is airy and simple.
