Dining in Richmond
One of the best things about vacation is eating! Your bed and breakfast will offer you sumptuous, delicious breakfasts and snacks, but if you want to venture out into the city for eating, Richmond offers plenty of choices. Cuisine is something that Richmond takes seriously-- and from a small, locally owned diner to a high-end, fine dining restaurant, you'll find plenty to tempt your palate. If traditional Southern barbeque is what you're after, head over to Bill's Barbeque, which has been in business since 1930 and shows no signs of slowing down. Don't forget to save room for the famous chocolate pie! If you're feeling adventurous and global, Richmond also has plenty of international cuisine to choose from. One local favorite is Africanne on Main, an African lunch buffet that has treats such as cornbread and ginger tree. One type of cuisine the south is particularly known for is comfort food-- food that fills the belly and calms the soul. Richmond, a truly welcoming town, offers this for all its weary travelers. Some of the best comfort food in town is at the aptly named Comfort, where the banana pudding will have you raving. But if you're staying at a Richmond bed and breakfast for some romantic alone time with your spouse, head over to the Half Way House, where a cozy fire and elegant tables await. In business since 1760, this restaurant has plenty of experience in good food. Wherever you dine in Richmond, your belly will be full of fresh, local ingredients and plenty of Southeastern hospitality.
