Restaurant in Richmond, Melbourne

For hearty Aussie fare, the Melbourne suburb of Richmond has cosy, traditional restaurants like Spread Eagle, where live entertainment and roaring fireplaces complement a timeless menu of twice-cooked pork belly, chargrilled scotch fillet and slow-cooked shoulder of lamb. Lovers of old world cuisine can take their pick from a broad range of options including venues like the Viennese-themed Bierkeller, which offers knee-slappingly good pork hock, goulash, wiener schnitzel and apple strudel amid suitably Alpine surroundings. Or if you hanker for some dim sum, then I Love Dumplings is just one of the local Chinese joints specialising in this tasty treat.
