Upscale Restaurants in Richmond are Closing Their Doors



I love good food, but I love having money in my pocket even more.  Like me, many Richmonders are pinching their pennies and forgoing the 4 star restaurants for cheaper dining alternatives.  Many even going so far as to actually cook for themselves.  I shudder at the thought of having to eat my own cooking.

Richmond Restaurants that have closed in the last week:

• Bottega Bistro
• Manakin Grill
• 1 North Belmont

I must say that I am going to miss Bottega.  Being a Southside girl myself, there was nothing nummier than their Sunday brunch.

My husband and I went to 1 North Belmont a couple of years ago for our anniversary and the food was delictable, but the check was so high that it hurt.  The food was so wonderful that we’ve always wanted to go back, and it saddens me that we won’t get that opportunity now.

I’ve never been to Manakin Grill, but I can only imagine it must have been delicious.

It seems that the finer things in life are slipping away in Richmond.  I wonder what will get hit next.

Quick Money Saving Tips:

1. Buy discounted gift cards for restaurants and other local merchants.
