Best restaurants in Putney
1. Bosa (Lebanese)
If you’re looking for a mix between good food and entertainment, had to the Lebanese restaurant on Putney High Street, Bosa.
When we first moved here, Bosa was on the top of my list. And not just because I love Lebanese food, but it also hosts belly dancing nights at the weekend!
The food at Bosa is delicious, and it always has a buzzing and vibrant atmosphere with Bosa lovers all round.
You can either walk-in or book a table at Bosa.

2. Coppa Club (British)
Coppa Club has two locations across London. One next to Putney Bridge, and one next to Tower Bridge (with Putney being my favourite).
Not only is Coppa Club known for its aesthetic and dreamy decor, with outdoor igloos and settings along the river, but it’s good value, too!
You can get a meal and alcoholic drink at Coppa for under £20 (and that’s pretty decent for London!)
They also do a mouth-watering Sunday roast (but you’ll need to book as it gets pretty busy!)
Walk-in or book your table here.
3. Chook Chook Indian Railway Kitchen
Forget Dishoom. There’s a new street kitchen Indian in town!
When I first spotted Chook Chook, I was so surprised by the colourful decor and funky aesthetic. I was drawn to it straight away!
Chook Chook serves up dishes from different regions in India, and aims to bring a mix of luxury and culture to your dining experience.
Trust me, it’s pretty magical.

5. Roxie (Steak)
“A steak lovers dream” is quite literally their tag line.
Famous for their meat, Roxie is more of an experience than just a restaurant.
But don’t worry if you’re not a hungry meat-eater. Roxie also has a veggie burger that is DELICIOUS (I’ve tried it myself and it’s beeauttttt) and some of the best chips in Putney.
Yep, Roxie is by far one of the best restaurants in Putney!

If you like a bit of a dance with your meal, had to Lost Society.

Another chain, but Franco Manco hits the spot when all you want is a tasty pizza and a pint of beer.
