The Artisan Kitchen and Cafe

This is our favorite lunch spot in Richmond, by far. We have an extremely low tolerance for subpar ingredients, and Artisan seems to share our high standards. Considering the ingredients and quality control, this restaurant offers incredible value. We normally can’t afford the restaurants we like so we are so grateful for this gem. Everything is fresh. The BLAT is my favorite sandwich, it’s reliably good. The crab sandwich is amazing. The fries are excellent. The tasty chipotle mayo has a nice kick and is homemade. The Spanish cheesecake is superb and really tastes like a proper basque cheesecake (a true treat). The Bundt cakes are perfect too. The menu and each dish is clearly crafted with care, and the owner / chef is often on site (this makes such a difference for restaurant quality,

Cozy, warm and friendly restaurant, the food was delicious, the menu covers all corners, meaning you can find a something for everyone, from the healthy vegetarian to the meat loving omnivores. We had the Brussels sprouts, vegetable lasagne, and ribs. Everything was tasty, service was great. We will come back, the outdoor seating will allow us to bring our furry companions.

Food was fantastic! Tri tip sandwich, fried chicken sandwich, tuna melt, breakfast sandwich were all great. Tri tip sandwich being my favorite even considering the fact that I dont really eat red meat like that. The tiramisu was the star, honestly my favorite tiramisu ever (and I've tried lots!). If you're unsure what to get, Oliver at the register knows whats good, ask for his recommendation. I'm sad I was only in town for a few days, but best believe this would be one of my first stops if I'm back in Richmond.

Wow! What a gem in an unexpected spot. We just had a Friday dinner at Artisan Cafe, which is the only night they currently offer dinner service. The food is excellent and sophisticated, on par with what you might find in San Francisco. The service is friendly and responsive. The dining area is attractive. Check it out!

Great food, great outdoor seating, and great customer service. It was my first time here and I thoroughly enjoyed the nice seating outside with pretty plants and heat lamps. We ordered a salad(forget the name) it was very good and it was taco Tuesday so we got the tuna tacos. Just as a warning, it was raw tuna which we didn’t realize, but it was still very good. They should clarify that on the menu(in my opinion). The cashier was very nice!!
