New restaurants in April
Eight new restaurants / venues / record stores opened in April–it’s a diverse group.
Chef MaMusu’s African-Caribbean Cuisine
April 5th
Chef MaMusu’s opened their second location in the former Parkside Cafe spot on Forest Hill. They’ll serve the same classic West African cuisine as the location downtown on Main Street.
Monument City Coffee & Records
April 7th
Monument City Coffee & Records might be the only place in town where you can flip some records while sipping some beer (please don’t spill the beer on the records, though). In addition to vinyl and hops, they’ve got food and coffee–the four basic building blocks of life.
Dash Kitchen + Carry
April 8th
Jessica and Josh Bufford, high off of their success with Toast and the critically acclaimed Estilo, have opened a fast casual restaurant in the heart of VCU. In addition to burgers, sandwiches, and the like, they offer milkshakes.
Boka Tako Bar
April 11th
The Tako Empire expands! First the cart, then the Kantina, now the Tako Bar, next THE KWORLD. Joking aside, we’re pretty excited about a Robinson Street taco spot.
Triple Crossing Brewing Company
April 11th
Richmond’s newest brewery…for now! Triple Crossing offers a great menu of classic English-inspired beer styles tucked away in a charming-but-hidden part of Monroe Ward. I anticipate many an after-work happy hour spent on their deck, beer in hand.
Caribbean Seafood and Jamaican Jerk House
April 15th
Third time has got to be charm, right? Dixie Chicken made a valiant effort, Beagle’s BBQ gave it a half-hearted shot, and now we’ve got a new restauranteur moved into 1203 Westover Hills Boulevard. Good luck!
The Broadberry
April 17th
On the dining side of things, The Camel’s executive chef, Xavier Beverly, will team up with Matt McDonald of Joe’s Inn to develop the Broadberry’s menu. On the music side of things, The Broadberry will accommodate 350 people–a big enough space to attract regional and national bands on tour who would otherwise skip a stop in Richmond.
Shyndigz
April 23rd
Shyndigz serves up incredible desserts that will destroy any diet in the flash of a fork. Seriously, just browse through some of their photos on Facebook and you risk diabetic shock (but in a good way). They’ve got limited hours Wednesday through Thursday–for which our wallets and waistlines are thankful.
