Head Chef Richoux

Our Story:

Founded by Monsieur Richoux in 1909 the original Richoux opened on Baker Street as a patisserie and confectioner - a refined blend of French heritage and British surroundings. His vision was simple: to serve the finest ingredients and flavours from around the world in an elegant everyday setting. Over a century later Richoux has been reborn as a patisserie and restaurant for the modern day. Handcrafted pastries and an all-day menu of French classics and international favourites are served up against a backdrop of carefully considered interiors. Richouxs signature aesthetic pairs warm wood panelling chandeliers and vintage prints to create a space that feels both elevated and inviting.

As the brand enters its next chapter new outposts are opening across the Middle East from Dubai to Doha and Riyadh - a legacy of taste and elegance is set to reach a new generation of diners.
