The Retreat Kitchen

My Mum and i recently visited Retreat Kitchen for lunch while on a day out to Richmond, and couldn't say enough good things about it. To avoid this turning into a novel by my trying(! i'll try to prioritise standout points: The staff were just so so nice and completely made the place! The owner seems to do pretty much all of the cooking herself and the food is fantastic so huge compliments (and major thanks! to her for an amazing array of cakes and really interesting and imaginative ones! an outstandingly good mexican mole and the best vegan quiche i've tried to date (and i've got a fair few under my belt the lack of room there now is testament! I wish i could have bought a whole one (or ten! to take home! The food and the staff especially seem to really reflect the ethos of the place, and make it somewhere it's really easy to feel happy being. Overall it's just a real gem, and it feels like a huge amount of time, energy, thought and care has been put (very successfully! into its becoming the place that it is. We'd for sure go back without hesitation (and i hope we get the chance very soon! and i wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone and everyone as a place to go for something especially lovely and vegan to eat in the Richmond vicinity! Much appreciation to the owner and the two super lovely girls she had working with her for the great job they're doing :

It's safe to say I'm late at the party in this place! I must have happened so often, but recently I discovered that everything, except the possibility of having cow's milk, is vegan. Great discovery. Best place in Richmond for vegans, by far! Really great for brunch, lunch or afternoon tea and cakes. Very great sweet selection, even incredible vegan croissants. Tastier as some I tried in France! Also good gluten-free choices. My friend who was with me the second time, I ate here celiac and there was a lot of choice on the menu for her. I loved the Smashed Avocado rocket on acidic dough, beautifully spiced with coriander, cherry tomatoes and lime. I'm really so happy to have found this café!

The food is great, the setting is cozy, and the prices are reasonable, but it is the staff that gets a standing ovation. I wanted to create a special birthday for my wife, and everyone took part in this happening. From baking my wife's favorite cake to make everything a surprise, I wouldn't have asked for more. On the day we arrived, the plan had to change a bit, but all three of the staff present were nice and made the occasion especially for both of us.

The place is very nice, despite traffic on the street, and the menu is quite exciting, at least for me, to visit for the first time in London. We have the vegan brunch plate and the vegan spinach risotto lasagna. The former was good, although the cunning tofu could have been more juicy. Later, the ricotta was very convincing, but a little too dry. I told the staff that adding tomato or mushroom sauce would be worth a try. Recommended.

Many amazing vegan options from both main and desserts. The coffee is very delicious.
