Local Restaurants

Gazette Putney

This welcoming brasserie always crops up in those deep ‘best restaurants in Putney’ discussions thanks to its smart, modern city take on French pastoral dining. Head chef Pascal Even has had the tutelage of Michel Rostang and Alain Ducasse to name but a few, so you can rest assured that the culinary work behind the scenes comes from good stock. Out front the decor is laid back, fun, and fundamentally French: chequered napkins replace a full cloth, an old Aga becomes a table, and the walls are furnished with shelves of wine, cookbooks, kitchenware, and accordions.

Blades

A warm-hearted, unpretentious neighbourhood spot that fits into Putney’s knack for laid back, authentic, and rural cooking. The wood-panelled space looks like it hasn’t been changed in years; the centrepiece of which is the huge grill, on which they cook most of their Italian menu. It sees a lot of action over the course of an evening, allowing you to sit back and watch the chefs cook up Italian sausage, swordfish, seabass, and steak before bringing it to your table. Alongside the grilled options there’s plenty of pasta, and of course antipasti – best enjoyed on the little street-side tables out front. 94 Lower Richmond Rd, SW15 1LL. 020 8789 0869 www.bladesrestaurant.co.uk/

Yum Sa

Its dark and sumptuous interior is the perfect backdrop for the pops of colour and flavour that will arrive on your plate. Opened in 2015, Yum Sa’s one of the best restaurants in Putney for modern Thai cuisine, served-up with a focus on local vendors and suppliers. The result is a highly accessible menu which isn’t afraid to put a twist on things. You’ll find classic curries sitting alongside Lobster Tail Thai’midor which introduces coconut, mushroom, and Thai chilli to the concoction.

Franco Manca

Giuseppe and Bridget set about reshaping the pizzeria (building a special oven) and the pizzas themselves (slow-rising sourdough) and creating a simple menu with quality ingredients. Giuseppe, originally from Positano, was strongly influenced by Neapolitan cuisine in his experimental pizzeria efforts. Today lots of neighbourhoods around the UK have local Franco Mancas but we’ve stayed true to our roots of small supplier local ingredients, daily freshly made dough, and Neapolitaninspired cuisine.

Roxie Steak – Putney

It started with steak. We’re meat lovers – so when we discovered how hard it was to find delicious, affordable steaks in the places we wanted to eat, our passion found a purpose. We created a restaurant that sources and serves the most incredible steaks, in a setting that feels close to home. Today, we’ve grown into a tight team of local neighbourhood favourites. Each Roxie shares the same meat manifesto – quality that satisfies the meat aficionados at prices that make everyone smile.
