Suzie Q was unapologetically rebellious, alluring and ahead of her time.

• Modern Australian • Richmond

Dear Richmond,This little restaurant is our love letter to food. It's our happy little place, where we get to live the joy of feeding people everyday. We all grew up in spaces that equated food with love, just like this place. Everything we have done here is deliberate, from the art on the walls to the produce we use. We've made a point of sourcing ingredients from some of the best suppliers in the state, making sure that our menu reflects what's in season. For us, this place is about experience: we try our best to make you feel both at home and 'out for something special'. Every plate that comes back wiped clean by someone who just couldn't get enough is a 'the hard work is worth it' moment for us. Matty & Tee From Love Letter, with love x

Very tasty food. We had the Feed Me banquet option. I will say the portion sizes were a little small. But the flavours were great. We'll be back.

Always a vibe, friendly and good food. A little cold waiting outside for our table to be ready but was toasty warm when we sat down in the middle of winter.
