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

    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!

    A mid way good mix between a cocktail place and traditional restaurant; menu not very big but all dishes of high quality. Good selection of domestic and international wines. Waiters very professional and with a lot of attention to the customer. Service good with the right speed. Good value for money
