A
3rd St Diner
This diner resembles the aftermath of a pink-and-blue explosion. Bring quarters for the (loud) jukebox and lose the attitude because this dive serves it up quick, no frills, 24/7.

B
Julep's
One of Richmond's finest restaurants serves decadent New Southern cuisine in a classy old-fashioned dining room that's cinematically set inside a restored 1817 building. Start with a mint julep, fried green tomatoes or jumbo lump crab soup, followed by Julep's signature shrimp and grits with grilled andouille sausage.

Millie's Diner
Breakfast, lunch or dinner, Millie's does it all, and does it well. But where this Richmond icon really shines is Sunday brunch: the Devil's Mess – an open-faced omelet with spicy sausage, curry, veg, cheese and avocado – is quite legendary.

Croaker's Spot
Everyone in Jackson Ward knows this soul and seafood joint. The decor is proudly African American and the food…angels sing on high of the 'fish boat': fried catfish drowning in spicy sauce with hunks of cornbread and creamy grits on the side.

E
Edo's Squid
Easily the best Italian restaurant in Richmond, Edo's serves up mouthwatering, authentic cuisine such as eggplant parmesan, spicy shrimp diavolo pasta, daily specials and, of course, squid. This place can get very crowded and noisy.

Ipanema Café
This underground den is much loved by the bohemian and art-student crowd, with a tempting selection of vegan and vegetarian fare (tempeh 'bacon' sandwich, curried vegetables, changing specials), plus moules-frites, tuna melts and a few other nonveg options. Vegan desserts are outstanding.

Hidden Treasure
Seeing as it's right across from the city visitor center this place isn't all that hidden, which is fine considering the quality seafood (try the crab bisque) at this cozy, occasionally chaotic neighborhood joint.

Papa Ningo's
The big hunks of pork and chicken on this Dominican place don't just stick to your ribs - they sort of latch on and ward off hunger for the rest of the day.

Panda Veg
This dark, student-y vegetarian enclave makes a point of proving tofu can replace meat in any Chinese dish you can imagine. Vegan buffets run on weekends.

Ann's Soul Food
If you must have that early heart attack, best earn it by shoveling through the excellent meatloaf and corncakes at this spartan diner in Jackson Ward.
