Richmond
Richmond's main draw is restaurant-packed Victoria St, with its long strip of cheap Viet-
namese and Asian eateries.
Minh Minh

( 03-9427 7891; 94 Victoria St; mains $10-18; 4-10pm Tue, 11.30am-10.30pm Wed, Thu & Sun, to 11pm Fri

Minh Minh specialises in fiery Laotian dishes - the herby
green-and-red-chilli beef salad is a favourite - but does all the Vietnamese staples, too.

East Richmond)
Warning: don't even attempt to get a seat here on a weekend; aim for a
quiet weekday, when you'll have time and space to fully immerse yourself in lunches such
as calamari salad with ouzo aioli.
Meatmother
AMERICAN
$$
(
www.meatmother.com.au
;
167 Swan St; lunch trays $14, dinner trays $19-23; 6pm-late Tue, noon-3pm & 6pm-late
Wed-Sun; 70, 78, 79)
Vegetarians beware; this eatery doubles as a shrine to the slaughter-
house, evident in the meat cleavers hanging on the walls and blood-dripping animal skel-
eton prints. All meat is smoked over oak, from the eight-hour smoked pork sandwich to
the beef brisket. Messy up your chops with a dinner meat tray and a side of chipotle slaw
and raise your glass of American whiskey to Meatmother.
