The Richmond dining scene offers so much more than Southern comfort food.

1. Lehja [Indian]

   Named a James Beard 2019 semifinalist, Sandeep “Sunny” Baweja is owner and executive chef at Lehja. You won’t find the typical tiki masala here but it will be the best you’ve ever had.

2. Pho Tay Do [Vietnamese]

   Located in an unassuming baby blue ranch, Pho Tay Do serves some of the most authentic Vietnamese food you can find. Don’t forget your cash, cards not accepted.

   Fish dishes, pasta, and wine, oh my! Their braised fennel is one of the most coveted dishes in all of Richmond.

5. Perly’s [Jewish]

   Named one of America’s best Jewish delis by Food and Wine, their matzo ball soup is perfectly executed. We also recommend the fish board.
