My husband’s 18 year old niece came to visit us for a month. She resides in Tennessee and had only been to Richmond once for a few days. We wanted her to sample some of the great eats that the city offered. Here is where we took her:
· Northside Grille – down-to-earth neighborhood spot
· Tarrant’s Cafe – we love the expansion!
· Mekong – first taste of Vietnamese cuisine
· Osaka (Huguenot) – introduction to sushi and tempura
· Weezie’s Kitchen – drooled over the real mashed potatoes and roast beef sandwiches
· Can Can – great burgers, onion soup, and people watching
· Krispy Kreme – hot doughnuts now!
· Gutenberg Café – the Bottom at its best, and don’t forget the Affogato
· Kuba Kuba – an utterly delicious dive – a limeade and a café con leche were required beverages
Of course, there were tons of other restaurant candidates, but we also traveled to DC for a week and visited Mount Vernon, Williamsburg/Jamestown, and Monticello. And speaking of unique experiences, no trip would be complete without seeing a movie at The Byrd on a Saturday night!

Sounds yummy! Where do we sign up for PJPink's food tour of Richmond! :)
Are you sad that Café Gutenberg is closing?
A food tour of Richmond sounds very intriguing! I'll have to work on it.
Mekong? Please! Unless she was drinking their excellent beer selection, why wouldn't you take her to a REAL Vietnamese place, like Pho So or Pho 79?
A very nice sampling. For donuts, however, I recently discovered Country Style Donuts off Williamsburg Road. Yes, it can be a bit of a hike, but it is well worth it - they put Krispy Kreme to shame. And their eclairs are out of this world....
