The White Onion

Delicious French food with good service. We loved the interior design too. Friendly atmosphere. It was really busy on Saturday lunchtime. Their bread is delicious. The lunchtime menu offered great price per quality ratio. We were pleasantly surprised. Bare in mind the portions are small. The ravioli with mushrooms was incredible. It is quite difficult to park around there though. Highly recommend to try this restaurant. Maybe a bit more vegan options please.

The White Onion is a love at first sight. Authentic french dishes which are all very tasty and nice looking. Small but cozy place, staff are all very friendly. Even the bread before ordering are impressively good! Highly recommended.

New menu and some fabulous new plates! As ever, the fish is stunning. Scallops with champagne foam as a starter and sea bass for main were spot on. Perfectly cooked and stunning flavours. Service fabulous, no change there!

3 stars for the food. We had cheese soup, squid, monkfish and lamb. The soup and lamb were really good. Unfortunately the squid and fish were not fresh, not sure if they bought on the same day. -1 star for the service. We didn’t know it opens at 7pm, so arrived a bit earlier. But the staff refused to let us in. It was very dark and cold outside. Of course the staff did nothing wrong, probably they were told to do so. But if they can let the customer in , even just sit at the bar without serving anything, it would be much better customer experience.

The service and food was amazing. We had a predinner cocktail which was delicious and beautifully presented. The waiters really took care of us, topping up both our water and our wine whenever needed. The speciality bread was fabulous. The portions were just right and every course was pretty as a picture before tasting divine. It was my husband's birthday and they put a birthday wish on the personalised menu and gave him a small lemony dessert with the words Happy Birthday written on the plate in chocolate. He was suitably chuffed. The little touches really topped it off.

Amazing food and great service! Will definitely come for more. I had lunch menu and have to say it’s such a bargain for the quality of the food.

The White Onion has that perfect mix of high quality food, while in a relaxed and informal setting. My friend and I visited recently for dinner and were so pleased we did. It is designed with class and refinement in mind and felt just great. We spoke to the excellent waiter about our first dining experience there, and he was more than happy to help us through the options on the menu. To start, we chose the oven baked Brixham scallops with celeriac and truffle purée, lardo, Herefordshire apple jelly and the roasted Norfolk quail with sesame fig relish, crispy tapioca. Each was cooked to perfection and we both loved every mouthful. On to the main course, and the Scottish venison saddle with glazed beetroots and herbs, apple purée, girolles, venison sauce as well as the rump of English veal with carrot and apricot purée, hay baked heritage carrots, tamarind jus both sounded too good to miss. We both love our meat and it was a pleasure to see such options on the menu. The venison in particular was cooked with skill, care and attention. This was matched by the continuing quality attention shown by the waiting staff. There was still room for dessert, and after much deliberation we went for the quince tarte tatin and the pistachio ice cream, as a pair of sweet toothed people! They were the ideal way to finish of a great meal and we have both vowed to come back and try something different next time. It all sounded so good!

We were not sure what to expect after checking the reviews of the restaurant in Wimbledon village on Google map. The White Onion reviews look great compared to many on the Wimbledon village, so we went in for our 40th birthday dinner. It was almost great, the wine flavour and aroma (Chablis) does not match the price we paid for compared to the foods we had. We went for Quail on the special card and Rabbit & Guinea Fowl terrine, for our starters, both were very good. My Duck breast with prune sauce was too sweet, lacking the balance of other flavours, which could mellow down the sharp edges of the sweet prune. Beef fillet was great in both the look and flavour. Our sides were potatoes and caramelised carrots, all good. But sweet carrot did not go well with Sweet Duck either. We were full by the half way of our main courses. Initially, we thought we could have the cheese board to finish off the meal but we decided to share an orange chocolate tartlet with whisky ice cream instead, and it was good. Our waiter Emmanuel was great too. Very polite and always smile. Over all, the evening was pleasant. Fresh flower would be a nicer touch. Nevertheless, thank you very much for a lovely birthday dinner. All the best for many years ahead.

The staff here truly exemplifies customer service. From the moment you walk in to the last breath you take on the way out. This reminds us why we dine out to begin with. It's not just about the food, ambiance or service on its own. It's the entire experience that leaves lasting memories of ones visit for the years to come. Upon walking into this lovely establishment, you are greeted with smiles and courteous staff. My waitress offered to take my jacket and waited for me to get situated before handing the menu to me. I love the little details as such. She asked what my name was and introduced her to me. Gave me a brief rundown of the drink menu and special before she gave space for me to review their options. When asked about wine, she was honest and advised that she does not know their wine well yet and got another staff who is familiar to review that with me. This ensures that my experience in this arena is nothing less of stellar. When I began to review the food menu, she broke down the dishes that she enjoyed and explain so. Again, our waitress took measures to ensure a pleasant evening. Long story short, wine was on point, food was delicious, and service was quite charming. Visit and see if my words are valid.

Went for a family dinner, and we adored everything. Food was spectacular. Every dish was well presented and flavourful. Portions were great too. I had the fried oysters and the duck breast, which were mouth watering, followed by coffee parfait, which was the perfect finish to everything. Service was excellent as well. Staff were patient, kind, and personable. Ambience was sophisticated and perfect for any date or occasion. I would go back in a heart beat.

Wow! What a fabulous restaurant experience I've had tonight. A rainy wet evening and just happened to change my arrangements to meet in Wimbledon Village. Thought we'd try this place incase they had space for a walk in and oh my goodness I'm so glad they fit us in. 30 minutes late the place was packed. The service was attentive but not intrusive and they explained all the dishes in detail with some suggestions for additions and wine or not! The whole meal was to die for and each plate looked picture perfect! Terrine was outstanding with homemade walnut bread. The watercress sauce added just the right amount of bite to the herb crusted cod and the Mille feuille, oh god that was incredible. A lovely dining atmosphere and a place to savour got a special occasion as village prices. Christmas lunch menu looks reasonable though so I'll be back!

The White Onion is fabulous and I cannot recommend this highly enough. We are here whilst visiting our friends in Putney as they had already been here before. The food and service where seamless and the staff are truly passionate about the provenance of the food and the matching the wines with the each of the courses on the menu. The New Forest Crispy Duck Egg was divine, along with the beef which had been aged for 35 days and came from Ireland was tender and tasty served with a tartlet of ox cheek. The desserts all exquisite, we had a selection. We are true foodies and this independent restaurant in Wimbledon Village certainly won our hearts. We will be recommending it to all our friends but this side of the Atlantic and at home.
