Barnes & Putney Restaurants

Ma Goa - Putney

The palm fringed beaches of Goa are the main inspiration that fashions the cuisine at Ma Goa, a regional Indian restaurant in Putney. Fresh, unpretentious and tasty food cooked according to tradition is the mainstay of this elegant restaurant, and the atmosphere is at once warm and inviting.

• Cuisine(s): Indian
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: £33.00

Mancha, La

A delightfully different Spanish restaurant and tapas bar, which is well worth a visit. Downstairs is an almost rustic Spanish bar, which serves smaller but excellently prepared tapas, while upstairs is the rather plusher conservatory serving full meals.

• Cuisine(s): Spanish
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: £12.00, Dinner: £37.00

Man's Chinese Restaurant

The interior of Man's Chinese appears somewhat dated, but then it's the food diners really come here for not the decor. If you visit lunchtime during the week you can take advantage of their three-course special business lunch that costs just £5.

• Address: 92 Coombe Lane, Raynes Park, London, SW20 0AY (Map)
• Cuisine(s): Chinese
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: N/A

Matheous Fish Bar & Restaurant

As well as being a very popular fish and chip shop in its own right since 1985, the Matheous Fish Bar also has a restaurant out the back. As the shop and the restaurant are only divided by flimsy swing doors you do get the noise of the shop, especially on a busy Friday or Saturday night, but then this is down to earth dining.

• Address: 104 Coombe Lane, Raynes Park, London, SW20 0AY (Map)
• Cuisine(s): Fish & Chip
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: N/A

Nando's - Putney

With quality food, friendly staff, quick service and excellent value for money, Nando's is a great place to eat. Don't expect identikit, pre-fab restaurant interiors which are usually a staple of the larger chains; each restaurant is tailored to its local surroundings and customers, offering up a unique restaurant experience to go with the equally unique taste of legendary, Portuguese, Peri-Peri chicken.

• Address: 148 Upper Richmond Road, London, SW15 2SW (Map)
• Cuisine(s): Portuguese, Casual
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: £11.00, Dinner: £16.00

• Cuisine(s): Italian, Pizza & Pasta
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: £28.00

Phoenix Bar & Grill, The

Book Online

Being presented with a short but interesting wine list is always a good start when sitting down for supper, if the accompanying menu adds to the stimulus, then all to the good. The Phoenix provides an excellent combination of modern European food; whilst their inspired decision to take on Franco Taruschio - of Walnut Tree fame - as a consultant chef since he retired, has added an Italian influence to the style of the dishes.

• Address: 162-164 Lower Richmond Road, Pentlow Street, London, SW15 1LY (Map)
• Cuisine(s): Italian, Modern European
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: £19.00, Dinner: £43.00

Piaf, Le

If you're looking for a safe, tasty bite to eat then you could do worse than Le Piaf. Check tablecloths and basic French cuisine seem somehow re-assuring, although the staff can at times be a little off hand (maybe to add to the typically French atmosphere!) Excellent value.

• Address: 146 Upper Richmond Road, London, SW15 2FW (Map)
• Cuisine(s): Bistro, French, Bar, Café
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: £7.50, Dinner: £19.00
