Gouramys opened at the beginning of December 2002 on the site of the former Rose of Denmark public house in Barnes. The proprietors, Elaine and Tony Martin have moved from Lincolnshire where their restaurant gained entry to the 'Which Good Food Guide' and won 'The Joseph Perrier' best restaurant in Lincolnshire award.

Specialising in fish and seafood the restaurant also offers a selection of meat dishes. All the fish and shellfish are purchased fresh from the markets and depending on the days catch there is a daily specials board.

For Sunday lunch they offer a traditional roast menu as well as the normal seafood menu. Wednesday to Saturday lunchtime they have a set lunch fixed price menu as well as the normal menu, this changes daily and weekly.

The ambience and style of the restaurant is comfortable and relaxed with friendly professional and attentive service. The bar area for pre and after dinner drinks is comfortably furnished with easy chairs and settees and the dining area has well spaced tables from which you can view the two large tropical fish tanks (those are their pets and not on the menu!).
