Richmond

well, if you really want style, then the Bingham on the river would suit, french/european , good bar, none of this silly pacific rim asian-scottish fusion haggis on pork dumpling with a sesame-mars bar sauce

failing that, there are a number of French style cafe-bars that do a passable cafe style meals, I wonder if Pizaro's in Kew is still there, now that's a very nice resturant.

There is a Gourmet Burger Kitchen in Richmond..

Other than that there are loads of nice restaurants in Richmond

The hotel restaurant at the Richmond Gate hotel is quite nice.

Don Fernando's next to the station does really good tapas if that's your cup of tea, failing that McClements in Twickenham (about 5 mins down the road) is really good - but you'll probably have to book:

Be different. Take a trip up the Mortlake Road to the Naked Turtle. French bistro atmosphere, serious wine list, good food, live music and the waitresses turn into jazz singers later in the evening.
