Your Guide to Richmond’s Best

Forget the usual pub crawls or vintage store hunts. If you're looking for a good time in Richmond, your best bet is to pull up a seat at New Quarter.

Your Guide to Richmond’s Best: New Quarter

Located on the lively corner of Swan and Lennox, this is a spot that gets it right. It’s a sleek, buzzing space that feels like a mini-escape from the street outside. Whether you're planning a date night, a catch-up with mates, or just want to treat yourself to a good meal, New Quarter nails the vibe: elegant, relaxed, and ready for a good time.

Neo-Vietnamese Flavours, Done Right

This isn’t your average Vietnamese restaurant. New Quarter takes the street food spirit of Vietnam and gives it a modern Melbourne spin. The menu is all about punchy, balanced flavours with an inventive twist.

The share-plate focus means you can try a little bit of everything. Expect beautifully crispy rice paper rolls, juicy lemongrass-grilled meats, and bright, herby salads that pop with freshness. The menu is also great for groups, with plenty of inventive vegan and gluten-free options that don't compromise on flavour.

The Only Weekend Lunch You Need

For something a little different, check out their High Tide lunch. Offered Friday to Sunday, it’s a set menu of fresh seafood and modern Vietnamese dishes, all paired with two hours of unlimited drinks for just $76 per person. It's the perfect way to kick off an afternoon exploring Richmond, no long drive to the coast required.

Drinks to Match the Mood

New Quarter's bar is a destination in its own right. The cocktails are designed to complement the food, with tropical infusions and clever flavour combos that are both refreshing and surprising. Whether it's a pre-dinner sip or a leisurely evening out, the drinks menu stands tall among Richmond’s best.

In a suburb packed with great places to eat, New Quarter is a standout. It's the kind of spot where one meal turns into a whole evening, and one visit turns into many.
