Iconic London cafe and restaurant set to return to Regent Street

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 sauce.

A curated sandwich selection features the iconic croque monsieur and the indulgent Richoux cheeseburger, while lighter options include the crispy duck salad and the Green Goddess salad with a punchy herb dressing.

From the signature patisserie trolley, guests can enjoy handcrafted pastries and viennoiseries, paired with speciality coffees or decadent Parisian-style hot chocolate crowned with Chantilly cream.

Wines, Cocktails, and a Touch of Theatre

The drinks list showcases a refined selection of French wines alongside an inventive cocktail menu. Highlights include The Madeleine - vodka, vanilla, and cedro, topped with a miniature madeleine - and The Pêche, a fruity martini blending gin, peach wine, and acorn.

A New Era

Richoux will reopen its doors on Regent Street on September 15, offering elegant breakfasts, leisurely lunches, and refined dinners in a setting that exudes timeless sophistication.

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.
