Rock & Rose

Style is indeed eternal at Rock & Rose, and their bold statement of 'food, passion and glamour' seems to say it succinctly. This modern European restaurant in Richmond is a most welcome addition to those who look for an exclusive dining experience in Richmond upon Thames. Gleaming black furniture, designer chandeliers and funky rose patterned wall paper lend unmistakeable chic, drawing a very trendy and upmarket crowd inside.

Start with stir fried king prawns with lime, coriander and chilli toasted ciabatta or foie gras and chicken liver parfait with onion chutney and melba toast. Main courses could include seared duck breast, warm new potato and chorizo salad with orange salsa or the rock cheeseburger, prime beef, mature cheddar and shoestring fries. The range of desserts is exciting and features bittersweet chocolate torte with bourbon ice cream or meringue with lemon curd and sorbet. Wines are priced reasonably and are great value for money.
