They call this Melbourne suburb "the island" because, if you live there, you never leave. Richmond local Kate Oliver shares a few of her favourite spots.
BRUNCH
In the beautiful old State Bank building in the heart of Swan St, you'll find Fargo & Co. Shiny, new and popular with the locals, it's open all day, moving effortlessly from a bright and cheerful brunch space to a hopping night spot. You'll catch some of the cooler kids in town here. Go on a Saturday or Sunday between 11am and 2pm for a bottomless brunch [Read: As many mimosas as you can drink] - and stay for a few cocktails on the rooftop. You don't have to book, but it's advisable, especially on the weekend.
