Richmond is an inner suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 3 km (1.86 miles)
south-east of Melbourne’s Central Business District in the local government area of the City of Yarra municipality.
The 2011 Census listed Richmond’s population as 26,121.
Three of the 82 designated major activity centres identified in the Melbourne 2030 Metropolitan Strategy are located in Richmond—the commercial
strips of Victoria Street, Bridge Road and Swan Street.
The diverse suburb has been the subject of gentrification since the early 1990s and now contains an eclectic mix of expensively converted
warehouse residences, public housing high-rise flats and terrace houses from the Victorian-era. The residential segment of the suburb exists among
a lively retail sector. Richmond was home to the Nine Network studios, under the callsign of GTV-9, until the studios moved to Docklands in 2011.
Dimmeys is long associated with Richmond, although it is located in the neighbouring suburb of Cremorne. The suburb is well known for its popular factory
outlets along Bridge Road, remaining an attraction to the area.

We’re strolling down along Bridge Road, Richmond in the one fine day and accidentally passed this humbly looking cafe called – Short Black Cafe.
Checked out their menu and quite amazed by the variety of dishes (around 60-70 options) offered by this cafe;
From the Italian food (pasta, risotto, gnocchi, bruschetta), some of Asian style food, burgers, fish and chips, mainstream brunch dishes and salad.
The rating on Zomato is pretty good (3.9/5.0), thus we decided to come and try this cafe.
The Beer and Burger Bar perfectly situated in Swan Street, Richmond which is easily reachable by using public transport or private vehicle (plenty on the street car parks along this street).
From Melbourne Cricket Ground Stadium, it’s only 5-10 minutes walking distance.
No wonder, this place is always full pack of sport lovers on the weekend after the sport match.
We’re glad to be invited by Brian and the team to have food experience in this Bar.
Benny Burger “The Ethical Burger” owned by Shannon Bennet, Vue De Monde’s chef located in the busy Swan Street, Richmond.
The idea of having his own burger shop coming from the Shannon’s favourite memories growing
up was the weekend ritual of his Dad, Benny Bennett, throwing burgers on the barbie.
Hip Hip Hoorrrayyyy!! We’ve decided to have Thai cuisine to celebrate our friends’ birthday, we chose Krua Thai 2 because of its prime location in Richmond and variety of dishes.
They have the menu for vegetarian as well.
Location wise is perfect; easily accessible by public transport for those who rely on it and plenty spaces of street parking if you drive your own vehicle.
