Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Short Pump

"Located in a turn-of-the-century building in Richmond’s oldest neighborhood, The Roosevelt is an award-winning restaurant run by Chef Lee Gregory, whose untraditional menu celebrates the food of the South. The Roosevelt opened in 2011 to public and has been serving favorites like the Southern poutine and lamb sausage, the roasted catfish served with rice grits, and the peanut butter pie with whipped cream. The famous bar boasts an all-Virginia wine list, regional beers and an array of signature cocktails that will leave you wanting more."

"821 Café is popular among VCU students and RVA dwellers, and for good reason. Their menu has every type of food imaginable for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there is no shortage of vegetarian and vegan options to cater to the high amount of meatless Richmond clientele. If you’re having trouble choosing an item, pick the Nutella-stuffed French toast with bananas."

"If you’re starting your day at Millie’s Diner, consider one of the signature messes. These three-egg, open-faced omelettes are topped with everything from andouille sausage and crawfish to spicy Italian sausage with a crown of melted cheddar. You don’t want to visit the South without enjoying the shrimp and grits, and Millie’s is one of the best places in Richmond for this classic Southern dish."

"A post shared by Michele Humlan- Richmond, VA (@rivercitygoodeats) on Apr 29, 2016 at 3:34pm PDT. With its beautiful and meaningful name “Enoteca Sogno”, the word “enoteca” is a place that offers wine and food, while “sogno” in Italian means “dream” - you can consider this charming Italian restaurant a mecca for food and wine lovers. Situated in Bellevue neighborhood, Enoteca serves a seasonal menu of high-quality Italian fare and extensive selection of Italian wine - all at a very friendly price."

"Penny Lane Pub is an English pub which has adopted the slogan of the Liverpool Football Club, ‘You’ll never walk alone’. The downstairs bar scene is relaxed and the perfect spot to try some traditional British fare, such as the fish and chips or steak and Guinness pie. Head to the upstairs bar if you fancy a more lively scene and prefer to play billiards or darts."

"We love finding new restaurants, but when we say SB’s Lakeside Love Shack is new, we mean NEW…as in they just opened in November 2017. But all we can say is, “Where have you been all our lives?. ” This sure-to-be local favorite has already made a buzz and their all-day breakfast is just one of the reasons."

"Options include classics like Corned Beef Hash and bagels topped with lox and cream cheese as well as breakfast takes on Jewish cuisine like the Cinnamon Babka Fresh Toast or the Benny Goodman: two potato latkes topped with smoked salmon, poached eggs, dill hollandaise, and salmon roe. After breakfast, take a stroll down Monument Avenue, known for the historic monuments but also a popular spot for locals to lie out on sunny days, jog, or walk their dogs (if you’ve brought your pups along, a leashed jaunt down the avenue is a great Richmond activity for you both!)."

"You can't go wrong with avocado on the Blackstone Benedict at @helensrva. The curry-covered potatoes were a happy surprise. Brunch is Saturday and Sunday from 10-2."

"Cute, homey restaurant by day; friendly, silly, cute, fun, chill bar by night. I have mostly spent my time there for bunch."

"If your Richmond sightseeing adventures include a visit to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, plan to enjoy lunch, brunch, happy hour, or dinner at Amuse. Enjoy appetizers, soups, sandwiches, salads, entrees, and more in a beautiful setting with art and artifacts from every corner of the world. For lunch, I recommend the lamb shawarma that layers thinly sliced shawarma meat on fresh pita topping it with tzatziki sauce and serving it with a side of cucumber tomato salad."

"Located at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Amuse Restaurant offers fine dining with a view of the museum’s Sculpture Garden and the Atrium. A modern interior with glass walls reflects the Museum’s design style, while an elegant patio is ideal for soaking up the sun over lunch or cocktails (which change with the exhibitions at the museum) during happy hour. The restaurant serves a seasonally changing menu prepared with locally sourced ingredients."

"Stony Point Fashion Park isn’t all about clothes- the food here is always in fashion too. Excellent steaks and succulent seafood are timeless classics, and Fleming’s has got all th..."

"I was reading some of the reviews for Flemings and I just cannot believe that these people were in the same restaurant that I love."
