★★★★★“The Village Grae has a smallish kitchen which punches well above its weight😀 Mark and his team looked after us so well, serving up a tasty selection of treats and superb wines by the glass (or bottle if you prefer). The decor is subtle but alluring, a reflection of the whole dining experience. We're looking forward to our next visit, can't wait to sample more of the dishes on the very creative menu.”

★★★★★“We had a lovely evening at Village Grae. It was a summer evening and we sat in the gorgeous courtyard, surrounded by greenery. The service was fun and fantastic. I ordered a Martini and I was not disappointed with its size or its perfect mix. The menu had so many lovely dishes it was hard to decide what to eat. The food, drinks and service were fabulous. I’m looking forward to visiting again soon.”

★★★★★“Undoubtedly this is the most welcoming place in Kew! The restaurant itself is beautiful and the courtyard has a wonderfully rustic ambience as you sit underneath the trees and vegetation. We always book a courtyard table on a Sunday afternoon and bring doggy along with us. While we sample the multitude of entrees and mains, doggy gets a doggy biscuit and a fresh bowl of water. The food is always beautifully prepared and there is plenty to share. Thank you Franco, Mark and the team - we love The Village Grae.”
