CeCe Pepper's Profile
Richmond, VA and surrounding area
DO NOT drive an hour to go to cville, there are PLENTY of great restaurants in Richmond, and a lot of veg-friendly places. Stay in the city! don't eat at mekong on ugly Broad Street (although it's good), or for heaven's sake don't go all the way to Midlothian Tpk! Good restaurants in the fan and city: Edo's Squid (italian), Ipanema Cafe (creative vegetarian), Millie's in Church Hill (excellent, haute dinner, nationally known), Dogwood Grill (named richmond's best last year, it's a good special occassion place, $22 entrees, not terribly expensive but the best service you'll have in your life and great menu), anything along Main Street is good, even Davis & Main. Don't go to Strawberry Street Cafe, it's terrible, bland and boring. Can Can is good but loud. There is a good Thai restuarant in Carytown that has outside seating but it's more casual, called Mom's Siam. Also a place called Ginger that's a little nicer looking. Accacia in Carytown is excellent, chef was written up in food and wine, great porch to sit on and price fixed menu too. Also Amici is an italian place down the block that is also excellent.
