One of only two Michelin-starred restaurants in Richmond borough is set to reopen.

The Glasshouse by Kew Gardens Station serves up high quality cuisine that is popular with the "high number of locals who call this place their own".

It is reopening tomorrow (Friday, August 14).

The restaurant said: "We are delighted to announce that we will reopen on Friday 14th August and look forward to welcoming all our customers.

"The safety and well-being of our guests and employees has always been and will remain our top priority. Check out the Covid-19 safety measures that we've put in place."

What Michelin says

2019 saw the 20th birthday of this very model of a modern neighbourhood restaurant. The quirkily-shaped room comes with textured walls and some vibrant artwork and, as the name implies, it's a bright spot, with floor-to-ceiling windows at the front. Tables may be rather formally laid but the service is undertaken by a team who are sociable and engaging and the atmosphere, thanks largely to the high number of locals who call this place their own, is never less than animated.

The kitchen concentrates on recognisable combinations and flavours that complement one another – ox cheek with mushrooms, rabbit with broad beans, hake with potted shrimps – and a strong sense of seasonality. A wonderful panna cotta with strawberries is the perfect example of what this place is all about.

The other restaurant with a star from the Michelin Guide is Dysart Petersham.
