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

We arrived at 8:30 on a quiet Sunday night. The staff ensured we had our meals and desserts before the kitchen shut. They really looked after us. Special thanks to Rosie. Food was very good especially the roast of the day. All that quality meat, perfectly cooked for $33 is outstanding value these days.
