Richoux at Langham Place is a wonderfully elegant choice for a Christmas party in the heart of London - a place where festive celebrations feel polished, indulgent and effortlessly stylish. Sitting proudly on Regent Street, this revived Parisian café institution blends over a century of heritage with a modern, glamorous edge, making it ideal for end-of-year gatherings that call for great food, flowing drinks and a touch of old-school charm.
Originally founded in 1909, Richoux has long been associated with London’s social scene, welcoming everyone from artists and actors to politicians and power-lunchers. Today, its flagship restaurant channels the golden age of Parisian café culture, with warm lighting, refined interiors and a lively yet intimate atmosphere that feels especially fitting during the festive season. Whether you’re planning a corporate Christmas party, a celebratory dinner with colleagues or a sophisticated cocktail reception, Richoux offers a setting that instantly feels special.
The venue is beautifully flexible. The Main Dining Room can host up to 50 guests for a seated dinner or 80 for a standing reception, making it perfect for Christmas feasts or end-of-year celebrations with speeches and toasts. The Richoux Bar, flooded with natural light and centred around a striking marble counter, is ideal for canapé receptions, festive drinks or a more relaxed gathering, accommodating up to 80 guests standing.
Menus draw on French classics and international favourites, crafted with seasonal ingredients and presented with finesse. A festive set menu might begin with beef tartare, followed by a beautifully cooked chicken paillard with sauce vierge and toasted almonds, before finishing with a classic fraisier cake. Thoughtful sides, expertly paired wines and impeccable service ensure every detail feels considered.
For those wanting to add extra sparkle, Richoux offers a range of bespoke touches, from personalised menus and floristry to cocktail masterclasses, wine tastings, live music and DJs. Their experienced events team takes care of everything, allowing hosts to relax and enjoy the occasion.
