Havana '59

Closed until Summer 2005

16 North 17th St
Richmond, VA 23219
United States
+1 804 649 2822
http://www.havana59.net/

This Cuban-themed restaurant somehow achieves both a lively and romantic atmosphere. At brunch, you can watch the Farmers Market as you dine on the outdoor deck. If you want a spot outside, be sure to make a reservation. The menu is seafood heavy, but those who do not enjoy things fishy will love the shredded pork over rice with plantains. It is one of the least expensive and most delicious items offered. Havana has one of the largest drink selections in the city, including homemade margaritas.

River City Diner

Riverside retro 1712 East Main St
Richmond, VA 23219
United States
+1 804 644 9418
http://www.rivercitydiner.com/ Visiting here is like eating comfort food on a "Happy Days" set. The colorful tile counter is a very comfortable place to dine alone; customers and employees are friendly and conversational. River City is a great place to go for breakfast before visiting the Edgar Allen Poe Museum or St. John's Church, both in nearby Church Hill. Breakfast is crowded on weekends, so be prepared to wait for a table but know that it will be well worth your time. Traditional southern biscuits and gravy are the best in the city.

Sine

Old-world atmosphere 1327 East Cary St
Richmond, VA 23220
United States
+1 804 649 7767
http://www.sineirishpub.com/ri... Take a trip to Ireland without leaving Richmond. This beautifully decorated pub has a relaxing atmosphere, outdoor dining and delicious food. Sine is a favorite spot for executives to stop in for after-work drinks. The owners of Sine have gone to great lengths to create an authentic Irish pub in Shockoe Bottom. Artisans from Ireland built and designed the beautiful, dark wood interior. It offers traditional pub fare and delicious appetizers like Irish Nachos, stuffed potato skins with gobs of sour cream.

Strawberry Street Cafe

Be sure to pick Strawberry 421 Strawberry St
Richmond, VA 23220
United States
+1 804 353 6860
http://www.strawberrystreetcaf... A neighborhood tradition in the historic Fan district, the Strawberry Street Cafe is the ideal place to stop when touring the area or visiting the nearby Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Art students from Virginia Commonwealth University regularly draw master studies in colored chalk on boards hanging around the restaurant. Window seating provides a lovely view of the historic Fan district. The bathtub salad bar, which greets you as you walk in the door, is the most creatively presented (and most delicious) in the city. Vintage wine from the Cafe's award winning list is available by the glass.

Like three places in one 1201 East Cary St
Richmond, VA 23219

The basement club is alive with music and dancers and the top two floors offer dining in a delightful atmosphere. Lovely antiques including an elaborate iron elevator, stained glass and 19th-century tobacco advertisements fill this entertainment complex. A marvelous Sunday brunch, one of the top dessert tables in town and delectable entrees can all be found at the Tobacco Company. The dinner menu includes prime rib with seconds on the house.

Village Cafe

Second home to local artists 1001 West Grace St
Richmond, VA 23220
United States
+1 804 353 8204 The Village has been a neighborhood favorite for decades. Best-selling novelist and Richmond native, Tom Robbins, used to frequent the joint. The servers are notoriously rude, but that is part of the charm. Their behavior is not so offensive as to prevent guests from having a positive experience. One warning specify a glass or a pitcher for beverages or you will get a pitcher. This is a Village trademark. The food is quite tasty and a good selection of beer and mixed drinks is available. Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Walnuts and Baked Brie with Apples are favorites.
