368 Bridge Rd, Richmond VIC 3121, Australia
It’s a huge room, with a nice subdued dark timber sort of feel, but nevertheless it’s quite informal. There are large-ish sofas with tables if you want to sit and drink with friends, and there are plenty of proper tables if you’re eating. The staff are friendly and the prices are reasonable.
The menu is simple and not terribly interesting, but most of the common bases are covered. Breakfasts are pretty good and I often go there for an Eggs Benedict after having a swim on the weekend.
They have tables outside, but unfortunately they’re right on the corner of Bridge and Coppin so it can be pretty noisy. Also, the wait-staff aren’t always paying attention to the outside tables, so you sometimes have to make yourself known before you sit down outside.

The food is the sort of slop I’d make at home when I couldn’t be bothered.
The wait-staff seem to be school kids who just have no idea. I’ve been there recently and having ordered a glass of shiraz, was bought a glass of white wine!
The room itself is a large, noisy, brasserie-style room with a plasma screen tv playing sport with the volume up too high. There are tables outside, but the wait staff seem to ignore them. You have to go inside and find someone to give you a menu.

The food is sometimes good and sometimes not so good – it depends who’s cooking on the night. I’ve been there several times and ordered the same dish, but it comes out quite different each time. The service goes up and down, but they’re generally pretty friendly – just a bit slow.
On the plus side, it’s a pretty extensive menu and the place always seems to be pumping. They have a decent (but not spectacular) wine list. They’re also usually open reasonably late when other places in the bridge rd strip are closed. They have a nice outdoor area with plastic screens and heaters, so you’re insulated from the road noise, plus you can dine even when the weather’s quite mild.

The food’s good, but the service is pretty patchy. If you sit down outside, you need to get the waiter’s attention otherwise you never get to see a menu. It’s reasonably priced and the specials are usually pretty good. They have tables on the street and they have heaters, umbrellas and some awnings, so you can dine outside even when it’s not that warm.
306 Bridge Rd, Richmond VIC 3121, Australia
The menu is fairly interesting in that they go beyond the usual parma-and-chips stuff you get in a lot of bridge rd places. The service is competent but can be slow even when they’re not that busy. They have tables outside on the street, but even better, they have a kind of recessed terrace in the front of the room so you can dine there even when the weather’s a bit mild.
2 New St, Richmond, VIC 3121, Australia
The coffee and breakfasts are great. Weekday lunches are sensational, cos it’s a bit less busy. It gets a bit full-on on a weekend though.
They have a little courtyard with one big communal table (sits 8-12) and about 6 other tables. There’s seating upstairs but it can get a bit hot up there on a warm day.
Artemis Lane, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
The coffee’s usually sensational. The service is actually ok – it’s just that they don’t behave like hospitality trained robots. They have a limited range of toasted panini, which are also great.
