Amazing food & service as always!

I have been a regular at RPS since I discovered it and it never disappoints. The food is consistently delicious, with a menu that offers a wide variety of options to suit all tastes. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making me feel like...a valued regular every time I visit. The atmosphere is cosy and intimate, making it a great spot for a date night or a casual dinner with friends. I highly recommend RPS to anyone. It's my go-to spot for sure!More

Great lunch spot

I booked Rice Paper Scissors for a work / early christmas lunch for a group of 9 people. The food and service was excellent. The set menu was good value, everyone really enjoyed it which is obviously a good sign ! All the courses we...ordered were delicious (sweet sticky tofu and burmese chickpea curry were highlights). The staff were extremely helpful with dietary requirements too. I will definitely go back.More
