Historic London restaurant Richoux set for Regent Street reopening

Richoux, the beloved London patisserie and restaurant founded in 1909, is making a grand return to the capital’s dining scene.

Reservations are now open for its highly anticipated reopening on September 15, bringing a taste of Paris to the heart of Regent Street.

The 110-cover restaurant is a homage to classic French cafés. Guests can expect traditional bistro chairs, rich wood panelling, marble tabletops, vintage artwork, and plush navy leather banquettes. For those who prefer to dine outdoors, a stylish 16-seat terrace offers a prime spot for people-watching over coffee, croissants, or champagne.

A Menu Steeped in Parisian Café Culture

Richoux will serve an all-day French-inspired menu from breakfast through to dinner, blending timeless classics with international favourites. A regularly changing menu rapide caters to those seeking quick lunches or pre-theatre dining.

Starters include French onion soup with toasted sourdough, escargot baked in garlic-parsley butter, and a retro-chic prawn cocktail. For mains, diners can indulge in Chicken Paillard, Lobster Thermidor, Beef Bourguignon, or Steak Frites with peppercorn

The reopening marks the beginning of a new chapter, with a second site in Tower Bridge set to follow, and international locations in Dubai and Saudi Arabia planned for 2026 in partnership with the BBR Group.
