About Le Salon Privé
Le Salon Privé is a French restaurant situated on Crown Road in the village-like neighbourhood of St Margarets, on the Twickenham side of the borough. Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday, it offers the kind of carefully prepared, authentic French cooking that draws a loyal local following. The atmosphere is intimate and welcoming — think neighbourhood bistro rather than grand brasserie — with outdoor seating available and good accessibility for those who need it. It is the sort of place that suits a relaxed weekday lunch as readily as a special evening out.
Local area
St Margarets sits quietly between Twickenham and Richmond, a residential pocket with a strong sense of its own identity and a loyal community of long-standing residents. Crown Road is a neighbourhood street rather than a high street, which gives Le Salon Privé the feel of a genuine local discovery. In a borough well stocked with restaurants, a French bistro of this character — unhurried, consistent and properly cooked — fills a particular niche for those who value quality over novelty and appreciate a place that feels rooted in its community.
Why choose Le Salon Privé
For residents who appreciate French cooking done with care and without fuss, Le Salon Privé offers something increasingly hard to find: a small, characterful restaurant that clearly values its regulars. The split lunch and dinner hours suit both a midweek treat and a Saturday evening out, while wheelchair accessibility means it is genuinely open to all. With a rating of 4.3 across nearly 300 reviews, the consistency speaks for itself. It is the kind of neighbourhood restaurant that Richmond borough does well — independent, personal and worth returning to.
