For proper Thai cuisine in Richmond, your best bet is to head straight to Rustic Thai Kitchen on Victoria Street. Just steps from Melbourne’s North Richmond station, this relaxed Thai restaurant has foodies buzzing, and we can’t help but buzz a little too, especially about the food. Start your flavour adventure with a bowl of tom yum, tom kha or clear soup before selecting from an impressive range of stir-fried delights, tasty noodles, perfectly cooked fried rice and a variety of chef’s recommendations. We love seafood specialities like the soft shell crab with garlic and pepper, pla lard prig (crispy barramundi with chilli and basil sauce) and the rockling fish with black pepper sauce, but you also can’t go wrong with classics like red duck curry and the Rustic Thai green curry.
