Ma Cuisine

You know that feeling when you walk into a restaurant and immediately feel looked after? Ma Cuisine does that without any fuss. It's situated right by Richmond station, which means it's surprisingly easy to get to, but once you're settled at a table, you could be in a small Parisian neighbourhood spot. The kitchen takes classic French dishes seriously—think duck confit, sole meunière, proper béarnaise—but executes them with restraint rather than showiness. It's the sort of place where regulars have their favourite tables and the staff remember what you drank last time.
