"Tucked underneath Richmond Bridge inside converted arches, the main attraction of this vegetarian café is its location and river views. Food is ordered at the counter and eaten outside on a huge sandy terrace overlooking the Thames ferry dock. There are a large number of pastry dishes, such as spicy Mexican bean roll, and a spiral filo pie stuffed with spinach and ricotta. Also on the menu are lively salads made livelier with pickled red chillies; baked potatoes; standard international fare such as chickpea curry and falafel wraps; and a lot of cakes. Visit on a hot weekend and make a day of it with a riverside walk, a boat ride, a visit to nearby Duck Pond food market, and Hollyhock Café down the road that’s owned by the same people." - Sejal Sukhadwala
