Neighbourhoods
My suburb. Worth exploring on foot. Swan street has several good cafes. My favorites are Almost French and Hellas Cakes on Lennox Street. A large Coles Supermarket is nearby. Some good restaurants like Hanoi Hannah. Over Church St. Agapi and Salona are good Greek restaurants. So many good restaurants and cafes to try on Swan St and Church St. A walk to Bridge Rd is recommended. More cafes and restaurants. Short Black cafe does the best big breakfasts at very reasonable prices.

Victoria St North Richmond and Abbotsford is the home to Vietnamese shops and restaurants. But many other Asian cuisines are found here. Good for a cheap eat lunch or dinner. Food shopping especially fruit and vegetables is good value on Victoria St.

Cremorne is south Richmond. So what I have written for Cremorne goes here as well. Bridge Road and Victoria St are worth exploring. The Gleadell St Market every Saturday is popular with locals for fruit and vegetable shopping but also bread, coffee, fish and meat.
