Richmond Melbourne Accommodation
Richmond was one of Melbourne's earliest settlements, and today it is a vibrant suburb. Culturally, Richmond has a large Vietnamese and Greek population offering visitors a range of traditional restaurants.
Richmond is well known among Melbournians as the best place for bargain shopping. Bridge Road and Swan Street are great for bargain designer and seconds shopping. Some of Australia's finest designer labels can be found in factory outlets and seconds stores.
Richmond Restaurants and Cafes
At Swan St and Bridge Road you can find a range of restaurants and cafes serving a genuine taste of Greece. Nearby Victoria Street, also known as Little Saigon, is the heart of Melbourne’s Vietnamese community. The long stretch of eateries, bakeries, butchers, fishmongers and grocers starts at Hoddle Street and extends to the Yarra River in nearby Abbotsford. But don’t expect white linen tablecloths and hovering waiters – Victoria Street is about the hustle and bustle of fast, fresh and exceptional Asian food at a bargain price. Wander through the Asian groceries or stop for Vietnamese snacks including crisp rice paper rolls or a steaming bowl of pho. Victoria Bitter and Fosters beer buffs can take a tour through the Carlton & United Breweries’ brewhouse in Abbotsford.
