Dear Richmond,
This little restaurant is pour love letter to food. It's our happy little place, where we get to live the 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. xx

Had the best time at Love Letter restaurant and bar! The super friendly and attentive team made me feel so welcome right from the start. The Splice cocktail is AHHH-mazing – legit tasted like the ice cream! I also had the 250g eye fillet and wedge salad with thick-cut bacon, and wow, it was absolutely delicious. Such a fantastic spot – can’t wait to go back!

Food was great value. Crab cakes were a highlight and the steak was near perfect except for the generous amount of sauce for our steaks which got cloying towards the end but nevertheless was still delicious. The dessert could be improved as the texture on the semifredo has room for improvement however would definitely make a separate trip for the feed me menu. Overall a great find with great food and attentive service.

Always love eating and drinking at Love Letter! Friendly service, amazing food and excellent drinks. My favourites are the “toast” which is such a tasty dish and the steaks are always incredible. Great vibes in general, such a fun place that’s full of personality and charm. Highly recommend!

We wanted a special place for a pre-wedding dinner with my son and his nearly-wife. The service was outstanding, with knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff, but not too overbearing. When i asked for the bill it was provided promptly with a smile. The food ... was delicious. Tuna tartare, rigatoni with prawn, steak and pomme frites with a beautiful jus and a bright cos lettuce salad, followed by a delicious orange cake and trifle for dessert. It was the perfect venue for our evening out, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The ambience was perfect, not too bright, with just the right level of noise from other diners. We will DEFINITELY be going there again .. and likely become regulars.

Incredibly inclusive, warm and welcoming space with delicious food and kind service. The “feed me” chef’s menu is great value. Bring your friends and loved ones.

My partner and I visited Love Letter late last year when they’d just opened, and although the restaurant was quiet (as it was new), we were blown away by the incredible dishes. We went again last night and were so happy to find the restaurant packed with happy faces. We decided on the “let us feed you” option, and it was an absolutely incredible culinary experience, yet again. So many fantastic and creative dishes came out, one after the other - an absolute abundance of food. Highly highly recommend Love Letter 💌

Love Letter is a standout local restaurant, absolutely worth a visit. We enjoyed a sumptuous Sunday lunch, with warm and friendly service. From the crab cakes, to melt-in-your-mouth steak and sides cooked to perfection, and orange syrup cake, our meal was hands down one of the best we have enjoyed in a long while. You'll not regret a visit here!
