Swan St · Richmond · 3121
Restaurants
42 places to eat on the street, from 1969-vintage Greek institutions to late-night kebabs.
Swan Street has been Richmond’s Greek strip since the 1960s, and charcoal grills and souvlaki still anchor it. Around them sits a wider spread: Mexican, Vietnamese, Japanese, Italian pasta bars and modern Australian dining rooms, plus the pizzerias and burger joints that keep the street fed well past midnight. Whether you want a white-tablecloth dinner or a souva eaten on the tram stop, this is the full list.
