Breakfast Favorites
I absolutely love breakfast, so when I find a spot I LOVE, I go back again and again. These restaurants never get old.
This is an authentic Turkish bakery that stone grinds local grains for its fare. This is the first restaurant that we fell in love with when we moved to Richmond a couple of years ago.

So you'll definitely wait in line for this place, pretty much any time they are open since this is a relatively new spot. It is most certainly worth the wait. Get cocktails at the bar or visit one of the many nearby establishments. They do a text message waitlist.

Named one of the best sandwich shops in the US by Thrillist (https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/best-sandwich-shops-near-me-america), we stop at this place almost once a week for lunch or dinner.

A great lunch (or dinner) spot that is sure to please EVERYONE. Seriously, we mean that. With a remarkable selection of vegan and vegetarian menu options, The Daily Kitchen also has plenty of meaty options as well. This place is the epitome of "hipster" Richmond as it is a real homegrown community restaurant.

All of the sandwiches in this place are named after U.S. presidents. The pimento cheese fries are to die for. I wouldn't put this place on the "healthy" list, but they do accommodate special dietary requirements.

Dinner in RVA
Don't even think about going to the Olive Garden. Richmond is home to over 500 independently owned restaurants. You likely won't be in town long enough to try all of them, so we've narrowed it down to a few you cannot go wrong with.
The chef from this place is a real food hero. I have never tasted food with such a distinct variety of flavors in a single dish. Literally, everything I have tried on this menu is to die for. The mixologists behind can whip up a delectable cocktail as well.

I've eaten at this restaurant more than any other in Richmond. It helps that it used to be near my old house, but they have a great selection of draft beers and their menu offers a diverse selection of lunch or dinner fare and it's always changing. Choose between courtyard, bar or dining room seating. This place features a large backroom in case your group is a bit bigger.

A restaurant just for dessert? You've got to be kidding me!
No, we're for real. This place exists and you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. (Ahem, oatmeal cream pies.) If you don't want to wait to be seated, they have a to-go joint down the block.
