About Sonny's

Aside from living in one of London’s loveliest and leafiest corners, Barnes locals have something else to boast about: Sonny’s restaurant. Long a local favourite with southwest Londoners, Sonny’s restaurant serves up mouth-watering British cuisine in a white walled, airy and elegant space decorated with a constantly changing collection of modern art. Owned by Rebecca Mascarenhas (who also owns the critically acclaimed Kitchen W8), it is invariably full of affluent locals; evenings and Sunday lunch are particularly popular here. The menu is full of classic British food, though the emphasis on fresh, seasonal produce means it’s constantly changing. Expect some tough choices: crab raviolo or chicken liver parfait; wild mushroom fricassee or slow cooked pig cheeks; and chocolate fondant with cherries or a La Fromagerie cheese plate. The wine list, too, is well-chosen and extensive. Luckily staff are attentive and well-informed, all the better to make potentially tricky decisions a snap.
