Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Cheap and sit-down do go together in Richmond if you read the price boards. This page covers five places: the Victoria Street strip, three restaurants and cafes in Richmond, and a pub in Collingwood.
Every price on the page was copied as printed from the venue’s own menu. Where we could not find a published price, the entry says so and prints no dollar figure. Hours are given as the listing we read gives them, so check before you go.

Victoria Street shopping strip — Victoria Street, Richmond VIC 3121
The council lists Victoria Street as the place for fresh produce, cheap eats and emerging creative businesses. Wikipedia adds that Richmond is well known for Little Saigon along Victoria Street. This is a strip and not a single business, so there is no price board to read, and we have printed no price for it.
The move: use the strip as your starting street, then read each menu in the window before you commit.
