About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
Dear Richmond,
This little restaurant is our love letter to food. It's our happy little place, where we get to live the joy of feeding people everyday. We all grew up in spaces that equated food with love, just like this place. Everything we have done here is deliberate, from the art on the walls to the produce we use. We've made a point of sourcing ingredients from some of the best suppliers in the state, making sure that our menu reflects what's in season.

For us, this place is about experience: we try our best to make you feel both at home and 'out for something special'. Every plate that comes back wiped clean by someone who just couldn't get enough is a 'the hard work is worth it' moment for us.

Matty & Tee

From Love Letter, with love x

    I dined at Love Letter with a friend for a long overdue catch up dinner - it's where I go with all my friends for these types of dinners - because Love Letter never fails to impress! The service - second to none. We had a lovely French/American waitress - her name I regrettably did not take down! Her attentiveness and service - just right. Friendly and engaging, not intrusive or annoying! The food - always a hit! The macaroni - perfect, taste and serving size and I can never not order the Sticky Date Pudding! Warm, delicious, perfect serving size and the butterscotch sauce - I'm drooling as I type this! The wine, whilst the offering per glass is limited - it was well suited to and paired well with the pasta! The ambience - the background music, overall vibe and the kitch, crockery - which you'd find at Grandmas - make for a great conversation starter and bring back so many happy and fond memories! Highly recommend Love Letter - a great place to catch up with friends - or for a date or special occasion!

    We went to Love Letter for our date night because of the great reviews and recommendations from friends. And they were not wrong! The menu was interesting, and everything we ordered tasted amazing. (we loved the scallops ;) ) On top of that, the service was great too. We really felt taken care of and they were so kind and friendly. This will be one of our go-to spots and we are excited to try more from the menu. Thanks alot to the team at Love Letter for making sure that we had a great time, and see you again soon! :)

    For the price, the food is not worth this. All of the food was quite average, presentation was good but flavours were quite lacking. For the price it was very disappointing. The vibe of the place and service was great but, you have to have the food right otherwise none of that other stuff matters…

    Loved our evening here! The staff were fantastic, friendly and super knowledgeable about everything on the menu. We tried a few of their cocktails which were all delicious! We had the scallops with roast lemon and curry, the kingfish with persimmon and creme fraiche, the beef cheek macaroni and the prawn, fennel and chili pasta. All were really fantastic. Will definitely be back!
