Mumbler

Shopped out on Swan Street, Richmond, and keen to seek refuge? Find Mumbler, a smart new stylish hole-in-the-wall nestled on the retail strip.

It's a modern bar with a fine-food fetish and a raft of boutique beers and wines to complement.

So sink into a choc-mint faux-leather sofa while you swig on a Moo Brew and mull over the menu. Laksa scallops, Moroccan lamb meatballs and pilsener-battered barramundi strips are all equally tempting.

But it's the lemon pepper calamari, crispy thin pizza and seafood platters that rank high with the locals. Mumbler's gourmet grazing goes pretty much till closing. It's good value, too.
