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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Historic district favorite |
2800 Broad St Richmond, VA 23220 United States +1 804 648 0360 http://www.thehillcafe.com/ |
The Hill Cafe serves food that is a cut above the usual neighborhood restaurants. Located in historic Church Hill, site of some of Richmond's most beautiful restored homes, the cafe is convenient to the Poe Museum, St. John's Church and Shockoe Bottom. Dark wood and a beautiful bar area, create a plainly decorated but cosy environment with delicious food and a good selection of beer, wine and liquor. The barbecued ribs are exceptional.

Fun and festive |
1601 Park Ave Richmond, VA 23220 United States +1 804 355 8817 |
This bright, airy restaurant is family-oriented and is a great place to broaden your child's taste buds. There is something to catch their eye at every turn—shelves of imported foods in brightly colored packages or vibrant wall decorations. The staff is very friendly. The menu includes authentic Cuban roast pork (as an entree or on a sandwich) and three kinds of paella. This is also the only place in Richmond that has Cuban coffee. A small Cuban market is contained in the restaurant. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A taste of Liberia |
200 E Main St Richmond, VA 23219 United States +1 804 355 8063 |
The first president of Liberia was from nearby Petersburg, Virginia and this restaurant honors him and the delicious food of his nation. A mural illustrating Liberian history adorns one wall and African sculptures and other art decorate the airy dining room. The food is spicy and very good. It combines foods considered traditional in Virginia collard greens, cornbread and black eyed peas with West African spices, rice and finely ground or chopped meats. The Traditional is the menu's most authentic entree, combining peas, corn and rice with diced chicken. This extremely hot dish goes perfectly with sweet African wine or African beer.

Situated in a classic structure in the historic district of the city, this famous beer pub has loads of the much-loved brew on tap and in barrel.

Noisy and full of life, this is the place to go if you are feeling blue. Several different eating and drinking establishments within the same block. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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.

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.
