Brindisa Kitchens, co-founded by Monika Linton and Ratnesh Bagdai, will open its sixth tapas restaurant in London, in October.
Tapas Brindisa Richmond will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, influenced by Monika’s early years on Spain’s Eastern coast.
The space will be a relaxed, dog-friendly venue featuring handmade tiling, pastel colours and a focus on conscious materials to recreate the feeling of an authentic Spanish tapas bar.
The main dining room will feature booths, an open kitchen with counter seating and riverside views from a 60-cover terrace.
Alongside the usual menu, The Bodega Room will feature a specially curated range of Spanish cheeses, delectable Ibérico hams and single-estate rare wines .
Monika said: “as a super keen outdoorsy Londoner, I am thrilled to be able to bring Brindisa to one of the most enjoyable and picturesque areas of the River Thames and Richmond. River walks, park walks, island walks can be enjoyed any time of year, before and after some delicious Spanish dishes at this beautifully positioned site.”
Ratnesh said: “After our successful riverside venture at Brindisa Battersea Power Station, we have for a while set our eyes on another riverside eatery. Whilst the hospitality industry remains challenging, this Richmond site offers our estate a great opportunity to continue our timely well-paced growth and provides another solid step forward for our talented teams and leaders. Being familiar with the area I am very excited to operate in Richmond and to offer the neighbourhood an all-day, any-day premium casual offer to capture the essence of what the industry is all about….enjoyment and socialising whenever and how often you like.”
