The Best Restaurants in Hammersmith, Greater London, United Kingdom (2025)

Excellent service, decorative and colourful atmosphere. Really nice food. Prepare for a bit of spice tho 🔥. Shout out to our attendant Rae who was polite warm and welcoming 👊🏼

Amazing experience made by all of the staff at the Hammersmith branch. Very friendly and helpful all the way through, food was amazing and so were the cocktails. The staff went above and beyond for my wife’s birthday thank you a lot to all the team. The goat curry here is really nice, so are the festivals. Both are my go to at turtle bay. The picture is after I had already eaten a lot as I couldn’t wait to eat.

Enoch was superb really attentive to all the tables in the section was pretty busy for a casual Monday but everyone was smiling that he was tending too orders came quick and fast. He gave us his time and a good service very efficient. Also The cocktails were fab we were really impressed with the new menu Thankyou Enoch for attending to us.

We went there twice in a week. The stuff is really polite and the manager there is TOP. Really nice environment. You should try the truffle pasta. And again, the manager is really really helpful. This is now our own favorite spot in London Hammersmith.

One of the best experience I had at this place, lovely food and, great for family outing. My family loved it so much. I was grateful to be served by Chef Elfadil (Amazing cooking and presentation skills) and by his lovely team. I will recommend to add in your visit bucket list. I will definitely be going again for the amazing experience.

Divine little gem hidden in a beautiful location! Tad pricey but if you want the best service and impeccable food then go here! That seabass was divine. The owner is lovely and gorgeous too! These fries were the best fries I've had in my life. Can't wait to come back here.

I first visited La Petite Bretagne in Paris back in 2016, we waited in a long queue but it was definitely worth it. It was hands down the best crepe experience I'd had in a long time. Returning today to their London location brought back great memories and created new ones as well. The food was fantastic, just as I remembered. We had: 1. Maple syrup crepe with bacon strips 🥞🥓 2. Complete crepe with extra bacon 🥓🍳 3. Chevre crepe with smoked ham and caramelized onions – the walnuts added a delightful crunch, and I’ll definitely be getting crepes with goat cheese again! 🧀🧅💯 4. Veggie crepe without emmental cheese I also had a lemon and ginger tea, which was a refreshing palate cleanser. ☕ I forgot my purse but when I returned a few minutes later, the lady who served us had tucked it away for me to pick up. The place gets busy, but I highly recommend it, especially in the summer. 👛☀️

Such an amazing and authentic crepe restaurant. They have savory crepes made with buckwheat flour (which is the best!) and then sweet crepes made with regular flour. They have so many different menu options, all the ones I’ve tried have been delicious so far. I think the crepes are very fairly priced and it’s a very cute little cozy restaurant, every time I go I am seated right away and the food arrives promptly!

Tiny french creperie located off the Hammersmith and city line tube station. We got a table straight away on a Sunday afternoon, which was lucky. However after getting the table and ordering the food we had to wait 30-40 minutes for the crepes to be delivered to the table. Apparently there was only one chef working on that day and he had to fulfill a 2-person job. We had to rush after the meal but I would highly recommend to try both savoury and sweet crepes. Just make sure that you get there with no expectation to leave within the hour. I feel like giving a 5 star review because the food was really good and the staff was really friendly and understanding. I also feel for the guy who had to prepare the food for all the customers alone. Will definitely come back.

Pretty good galettes, comparable to what you can get in France. They are crunchy and you feel buckwheat. Alsacienne was very good although a bit too salty to me. Campagnarde was fine, too - the mushrooms and the sauce made it taste garlicky in a very pleasant way, although otherwise it had a pretty plain taste. The staff were nice, the waiting time was reasonable. Can recommend this place

All the fishes tasted not bad, portion sizes are bit small compared to Khamsa, and doesn’t provide complimentary bread. The owner, Chris was nice, gave me some salad leaf because I’d really like to have some, the mint tea was nice. Overall a good experience.

Amazing North African restaurant with lovely customer service and very delicious food. The staff were very welcoming and nice. I highly recommend this lovely place. It was an unforgettable experience, looking forward to coming back and trying other meals.

One can’t never be disappointed by this restaurant. It has great atmosphere, wonderful cuisines, very helpful and friendly crew and reasonable price. We started with appetizers including falafels/salad plate, calamari fries and the baba ganoush. The texture of baba ganoush was so good with the flat pitta. We ordered a king prawn tajine and a lamb couscous as our main dishes. The chewy king prawns were very fresh and well-seasoned. You could even taste the sea in your mouth! The lamb was also cooked well with a tender texture and wonderful flavor. It was also served with a broth. Loved the two mains! Dessert was a bit too sweet for me but all of my friends loved it. Classic mint tea was a great choice in the cold weather. Will definitely visit again.

Food was delicious - I ordered the lamb couscous. I really loved my meal the portion was quite big so I only had the main. My friend ordered the flaffel and then the chicken couscous. She said the flaffel was the best she ever tried and enjoyed her main as well.

Good food, but beware of the pricing - they add VAT on at the end so it's no included in the price shown on the menu. This is quite an unusual place, not your typical Indian restaurant. It's a relatively small menu (which is good as it's more likely to be cooked from scratch). The food is fabulous and the staff are friendly. On the negative side, it's a little bit cramped, and the tablets are a bit small. It was a bit of a juggle with the food on the table. It's also very expensive. It's the most we've ever paid for an Indian meal. This is because, unlike virtually every other restaurant I've been to, they do not include VAT in their menu price, so you're adding 20% onto the bill. They also charge a 12.5% service charge, which I don't like. I probably won't go back because of the prices.

Definitely recommend! This is a place that offers a lot of options that you wouldn’t usually get in a British Indian Restaurant. This has a variety of vegetarian and meta dishes as well as dishes with varying levels of spice. I recommend the Kebab Curry with mixed meat as well as Murgh Malai Tikka and Don Chaat. It was all really good. The only drawback is some people might find the place small of a little pricey, it is about £30-£40 per person.

This place is a little gem, the staff are kind and attentive. Food is well presented and very tasty ! A few more pictures on the wall would be nice … but other than that it was a lovely evening. Try the Mango Rum cocktail!

The restaurant offers very authentic Indian food. I loved the shared plates, as they allowed me to try different curries. The chicken in the curry was perfectly cooked—soft, juicy, and flavorful. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great Indian dining experience!

This is a great busy independent Spanish restaurant, reminds me of many places I’ve visited all over Spain. The ingredients and seafood were all fresh and generous portion sizes. This place was busy so I would Advise booking ❤️

Great tapas place, all plates were tasty, service was incredible at accommodating a big group.

The level of customer service at this restaurant is good. The quality of the food is is of high quality, considering the very reasonable cost (most tapas dishes around 9 pounds). The cod covered in the sauce was delicious. One of the best restaurants in the Brook Green and Hammersmith area.

We had a lovely evening at Sam's Riverside. The excellent fish dishes turned our visit into an amazing culinary experience. Staff was great - friendly, attentive and at no point intrusive, well done! Wish we'd gone there sooner, but now in a top spot of our 'Food gems' list. Until next time!

We ordered a variety of starters and they all tasted great. The sourdough and Parm churros can be skipped. Mains were a bit disappointing. Haddock souffle was too heavy and there was nothing special about the steak. All the portions were a bit on the smaller side. The staff and service was amazing. The restaurant itself was a bit dim and loud.

What a lovely restaurant by the riverside. Greeting by the manager All staff were professional, cheerful and on the ball. We were not rushed at all. I had the mussels for starter, Plaice for main with green beans and a dark chocolate dessert. Everything was tasty so compliments to the chef, I was completely full. Will definitely return.

I originally already given up on London restaurant, as I have bad experience on high prices with ridiculously bad service… But today it is my birthday so I decided to go and celebrate with myself and go to Sam’s, oh… but did it surprise me, with both service and food aline together, with really good staff and welcoming attitude that explain the menu and the questions I have on food, also with a birthday card… etc with all the little things adding up, makes it 101%. It gives you a warm feeling and I would definitely come back next time with some friends and family. With the meal, I have ordered Blue cheese Souffle with parmesan cheese churros, black chocolate Fondant and some red wine. If you haven’t been, I do highly recommend it. It definitely highlight my night especially it is my first years spending my birthday in London and at Sam’s, which I believe I have made the right choice. AD

Loved the location, great friendly staff, good choice at the bar! What a great place!

Their Sunday roast is PHENOMENAL!!! I can’t praise this place enough - the food was yummy, the service was FANTASTIC, and the price was amazing! Wojtek and Monika served us, and they were extremely friendly, efficient and catered to all our requests (I’m currently pregnant, so am quite picky with what I eat). Wojtek was also extremely helpful with the food recommendations, and his overall energy is amazing! They also seated us indoors (upstairs), in such a cosy seating area - I’ve seen this pub a lot from the outside, but never realised how massive it was on the inside. I’m definitely coming back here!!!

We've been to a few of their branches, and this was another great one. Their whole menu now seems to be vegan/plant-based, and we had so many choices! We all went for the mushroom dauphinoise, which was absolutely delicious. We also had a couple of the vegetable sides, which were similarly good. Speedy and friendly service. Would definitely recommend

We had a Virgin Mary (great taste) and an Elderflower Spritz (which barely tasted like Elderflower), the Chipotle Mushrooms and the Chickpea Tagine (both were excellent) plus a Rhubarb Cheesecake which was stunningly good. We have been to The Gate more than once and every time we are pleasantly reminded that this is top notch cusine.

Wow this place is a gem! I am visiting from the US and for a non-vegetarian, I really enjoyed their high quality fresh dinner. It exceeded all my expectations and highly recommend to try it. The staff were wonderful and super friendly. The atmosphere was perfectly cozy and you will not be disappointed.

Great service, amazing food. The only minor fault was that the veggie wellington is cold in the middle. Besides this, the meal was incredible, as well as the service. I am having the meal alone, and the floor manager has taken care of me, making me feel welcome and comfortable to enjoy my dinner here. I will definitely go back.

We visited River Cafe for dinner with our family, and our impressions were mixed. The food was outstanding: every dish was exquisite and delicious, with no doubt that the kitchen here is top-notch. However, the prices seemed too high, especially considering the restaurant is quite far from central London. If you're willing to spend a significant amount on dinner and don’t mind the trip to the outskirts of the city, River Cafe won’t disappoint. But if you value a balance between price and convenience, it might be worth considering other options.

Surprisingly good food. The interior is not particularly attractive, very simple, but brings a strong feeling being in an Italian place. As an esthete I prefer restaurants with a character, but who said this simple style can’t be a character, right?! Again, food is good! So, yes I recommend!

Amazing! I love to give 5 stars reviews because it means I found a place I would recommend. Food was very tasty; as a starters I would 100% recommend the Crab, the Pizzetta, and the Prosciutto with Cantaloupe melon, you can tell all the dishes have quality ingredients. Then the mains I liked the most were the Dover Sole wood-roasted with a salted anchovy —it melted in my mouth—, the Summer Risotto, and the chargrilled Longhorn Beef Rib-Eye, but if none of that is to your taste I would suggest the Tagliarini with Dorset Blue Lobster, incredible as well. Everyone was super friendly and professional and the owner is such a nice lady. We felt very welcomed!
