• Modern Australian • Richmond
Booked 20 times today
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

    We booked a table based on reviews on line and arrived early for drinks in the bar. The staff were really helpful letting us know when our table was ready and we have a really relaxing enjoyable meal. The bar staff also booked a cab for us as we had no wifi. We’d definitely go back.

    The food was excellent, best I’ve had at a pub for a while, the venue was warm on a cold night with the fireplace running, it was packed but not too loud. Dining was well above expectations for the price, drinks were reasonably priced. Only issue was I wasn’t given a steak knife with my lamb but my grandmother never owned a steak knife and liked serving well done steaks so I know my way around a butter knife
