    A great place for breakfast or a coffee meeting for work. The service is super slick and friendly and the coffee is very nice. Pretty easy to park on Bridge Road too early in the am.

    The cheese room at Richmond Hill Cafe & Larder is a THE cheese heaven. The staff are fantastic and take the time to tell you about each of the cheeses and the cheese tasting is a treat! The cheese platter gives you a choice of 3 cheeses for $25. There are about 6 cheeses to choose from, but if you ask, you can select a different cheese from the cheese room as long as it is of equivalent value. The cheese platter is a bit much for two people. I felt like I had half a kilo of cheese all by myself...not good so take a friend or two! We went at around 1pm and you had the option of choosing from the breakfast or lunch menus and the options are amazing! Will go back to try the pancakes, fritters and more cheese!

    I have never been to such a superb breakfast venue as this one - of course a complete tribute to Stephanie Alexander! We went here yesterday morning and had amazing food - had the corn fritter with smoked salmon and poached egg....also their famous 'cheesy toast' was extraordinary. Also had the pancakes (was rather 'full' on departure) with banana, caramel peanut brittle sauce and cream cheese with honey. Go Go Go to this place and do yourself a favour.

    Richmond Hill Cafe & Larder is sensational - a real foodie heaven. The atosphere is relaxed but the food is wonderful. It's worth a visit just for the cheese room. The cakes are exquisite. Highly recommended.

    This place is a must do for all visitors to Melbourne....and anyone living in Melbourne. Fantastic buzzing atmosphere, great food and winner coffee. Yes, it does get busy on the weekend but it's definitely worth the wait! Take the paper and soak up the atmosphere (and visit the cheese room!).

    Great coffees and muffins. A bit out of the way for me but if I'm ever in the area it's a must to drop in for either brekky or lunch. It has a great atmosphere. always busy and the staff are really great. No wonder it has such a good reputation and name for itself in melbourne.

    Go here for breakfast once in your life - at least. And if coddled eggs are on the menu, include them!

    A real breakfast treat, especially if you for one of the more daring items on the menu which are always amazing.

    Only downside is how busy it can get on the weekend if you go at 'breakfast peak hour'.

    A foodie hub before many of us even knew we were foodies.

    When Stephanie Alexander and cheese wholesaler Will Studd (along with Alexander's daughter Lisa Montague and friend Angela Clemens) opened this cafe exactly 10 years ago, it was the first Melbourne place that knitted together high-end restaurant standards with an informal all-day cafe setting. "I've always been interested in showing people how possible it is to eat well," says Alexander, who was already serving good food at Stephanie's, her fancy Hawthorn restaurant, but was tired of the high-end expectations and long hours. "I couldn't hack it," she says. "I wanted something accessible without all the ceremony." The "something accessible" was Richmond Hill Cafe and Larder. It was French-based but fresh and frisky. It was a foodie hub before many of us even knew we were foodies, full of great bread, meat and, of course, cheese, properly kept in Melbourne's first humidity-controlled cheese room. And it went gangbusters from day one. Studd stuck around for five years; Alexander sol...
