Silver Birch
142 Chiswick High Rd., Chiswick, London W4 1PU
Great restaurant, cooking some great food. Nathan Cornwell is running the kitchen and he has an outstanding background in Michelin restaurants across the UK and Europe. Lucky to have this in the neighbourhood.
Napoli on the Road
9A Devonshire Rd, Chiswick, London W4 2EU
This just won No.1 top pizza in Europe! It’s really good Neapolitan style pizza, and has lots of innovative toppings but with quality ingredients - there’s always a queue!
Foubert’s
2 Turnham Green Terrace, Chiswick, London W4 1QP
A traditional family business - it’s been in Chiswick for nearly 50 years! Run by a lovely elderly couple who are much loved by locals, the café sells rustic, homemade Italian food. But it’s perhaps best known for its wonderful ice cream - I take my two little boys often.
The Swan
19 Evershed Walk, Acton Ln, London W4 5HH
A beautiful little charming cosy pub off a side street in Chiswick - it has a fire for winter & an outside garden for summer. It serves a great roast on Sundays & a very tasty sticky toffee pudding, what more could you want from a great local pub?
La Trompette
3-7 Devonshire Rd, Chiswick, London W4 2EU
The only Michelin-starred restaurant in Chiswick & it’s had one since 2008! It doesn’t re-write the rule book, it’ just consistently solid cooking of the classics - but fair play to have a Michelin star for so long & be busy when you are a neighbourhood restaurant. It has stood the test of time.
