Tucked between Richmond Green and Richmond High Road, No 1 Duke Street is a bright, modern neighbourhood bar and restaurant that brings a relaxed yet stylish energy to the heart of Richmond. This independent spot is a go-to for locals and visitors alike, ideal for everything from breakfast meetings and family lunches to weekend brunches, birthday dinners and evening drinks with friends.
Inside, the look is fresh and industrial-chic, with white walls, decorative wood panelling, a curved wraparound bar and black-and-white tiled floors. High ceilings with exposed pipework, hanging pendant lights and wooden tables create an open, welcoming feel, while potted greenery and artwork add warmth and character. It’s an easy, elegant space that works just as well for a casual coffee as it does for a lively celebration.
The menu runs from breakfast to dinner, featuring fresh, seasonal dishes made with care. Early risers can enjoy a house breakfast, avocado on toast or a dirty breakfast bagel, while the daytime menu includes sharing plates like crispy squid, padron peppers and meze boards. Larger dishes range from prawn and chorizo linguine and wild mushroom pappardelle to aubergine curry, grilled sea bass and steaks with sauces and sides such as skin-on fries and grilled broccoli.
Sundays are all about roasts, with options including beef, pork or a vegetarian spinach, chickpea and mushroom roast, plus a hearty trio of meats. Families are well looked after too, with a children’s menu offering mini favourites like chicken and fries, tomato pasta, or fish fingers, finished with ice cream or apple crumble.
With its friendly team, contemporary design and all-day menu, No 1 Duke Street is one of Richmond’s most welcoming spots for food, drinks and good company.
