D'ELEPHANT THAI RICHMOND

D'Elephant Thai sits on Bridge Road in Richmond, one of Melbourne's lively inner-eastern suburbs just across the river from the CBD. A much-loved Thai restaurant, it's built a strong following for its authentic, flavour-packed cooking — the kind of reliable, satisfying spot that draws a devoted crowd in an area with a strong dining culture.

The appeal is that combination of vibrant, authentic Thai flavours and a relaxed, welcoming setting, ideal for a casual dinner, a catch-up or a satisfying feed. In a suburb with plenty of dining options, building this kind of loyal following speaks to a kitchen that consistently delivers on flavour and quality.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 600 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change, and a popular Richmond restaurant fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or keen to settle in for a proper Thai feast.
