Amazing location nestled right on the Yarra River. It's a beautiful walk from our place along the river. Incredible breakfasts, but beware of arriving at peak hour on weekends 10-11am as you will have to queue. But actually, it's worth queuing for!!

There are so many Vietnamese restaurants in Richmond and I'm pretty sure I've tried them all! Paper Plate is next level Vietnamese. It is more sophisticated than most, and not a lot more expensive. Super delicious flavours and only about 100 metres from out front door! Win.

This place hosts some really big local and international musicians and yet is a relatively small, intimate venue. Probably my fav place in Melbourne to see live music. Great rooftop bar too for those hot summers nights
