Feast on these new and coming-soon to Richmond restaurants.
Why it matters: You can eat at four of them right now.
🇬🇧 The British Embassy debuted downtown on the corner of Main and 12th streets.
- The dedicated Brit food spot is the standalone spin-off of the secret menu in a Short Pump Thai restaurant.
- On the menu: Fish and chips (including a gluten-free option), bangers and mash, a sausage roll, Scotch egg and sticky pudding ($4.99-$16.99).
- Open Monday-Saturday, 11am-8pm.
🍗 Southern Kitchen is up and running in Stony Point Fashion Park after closing its Jackson Ward location earlier this year.
- On the menu: Chef /owner Shane Roberts-Thomas' signature fried chicken, smothered pork chops, catfish bites and more.
- Open: Tuesday-Thursday 4pm-9pm; Friday and Saturday, 11am-10pm and
Sunday, 11am-8pm.
☕️ Sugar & Twine's long-awaited Carytown coffee cafe — the one that has indoor seating — opened Wednesday morning and is now up and letting folks sit and sip daily from 7am-3pm.
- Its walkup window is still open, too, daily, 7am-1pm.
🦞 Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls, a fast-casual chain out of Maryland, opened its first Richmond location off Midlo at 14213 Winterview Parkway.
- On the menu: Lobster rolls, lobster bisque, lobster salad, lobster mac and cheese, lobster grilled cheese — and some lobster-free options for the kiddos, because they know they're not eating lobster.
- Open daily for lunch and dinner.
🫗 Sincero, which opened in November in Jackson Ward after running as a pop-up, will close at the end of service on Sunday.
☕️ Can Can's morning hours and coffee and pastry service are back starting Wednesday and running 7-10am every Wednesday-Saturday after that.
🥬 Little House Green Grocery on Bellevue in Northside is under new ownership and will soon add prepared foods from new co-owner, Nokoribi (and formerly Longoven) chef Andrew Manning.
🔜 Coming soon: Roots Natural Kitchen will open its third Richmond spot in Midlothian in the Winterfield Crossing shopping center.
🍹Goldwing, a cocktail and dessert-focused concept from (and next door to) the Fighting Fish owner, is in the works on Arthur Ashe Boulevard in Scott's Addition, per BizSense. It should open this fall.
ICYMI: Barrio Taqueria + Tequila will close in the coming months to prepare for a new concept.
