SALONA | 260A SWAN ST RICHMOND | Est. 1969

Salona sits on Swan Street in Richmond, a lively inner-eastern suburb of Melbourne — and has been a fixture of the strip since 1969. A long-established restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation over the decades for its quality, flavour-packed cooking and warm, welcoming atmosphere, the kind of beloved, enduring spot that generations of locals have returned to.

The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks offering and the genuine character of a long-running restaurant in a convenient Swan Street location, ideal for a special dinner, a group meal or a relaxed night out. There's something special about a restaurant with real history and staying power, and Salona's enduring popularity speaks to a place that's kept its loyal following happy for many years.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 500 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular, long-loved 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 planning a special meal at this Richmond institution.
