Obviously love every dish we got! The tea smoked quail was amazing, smoky, sweet and tender. (We almost lick the plate before the waiting staff gave us a tiny spoon for finishing the sauce) The noodles were simple yet with rich flavour. Will definitely come back to try more!

We had a fabulous meal and night at Anchovy. Great contemporary take on Australian-Vietnamese food with global influences. Fresh ingredients and sophisticated flavours and presentation. Generous portion sizes. Excellent drinks. Fantastic staff. Couldn’t recommend more! We’ll definitely be back.

Modern Vietnamese restaurant situated on Bridge Rd Richmond, abundance of flavour, cooked and presented well. Balanced flavours of sweet, salty and sour from their very own fish sauce garlic, chilli, sugar and lemon/lime with some accents of tamarind depending on the dish. Try the goat rib, pork shoulder and tea smoked duck. Flavours of authenticity from the bbq coals reminisces the streets of Saigon. Dessert choices are limited as their seating capacity. Try the coconut sorbet with strawberry granita and yellow rice wine and the Paris-brest with banana, hazelnut praline and toasted rice sorbet. Both delicious and worth sharing and returning on a different season.

We went for Pipis Hut night on Wednesday and tried both pipi flavours with all of the sides, handmade egg noodles, Banh mi and Chinese Donuts. We also ordered the prawn papaya salad. Everything was delicious! Our server was so lovely, well timed service, friendly and gave us the perfect little descriptions of the food. The space was also beautiful. Can't wait to come back and try their regular menu.

Not cheap but very unique Vietnamese dining experience in Melbourne. It was $130 per person (food only) and initially I was dubious as I had never heard of Anchovy prior to my friend organising our meal. Safe to say that I was very impressed. So much food. The highlight for me was the pippies and the market fish which was so fresh! There was not enough sides to eat this with however - the sauces were delicious. As for the dessert - wow. I had to unbutton my jeans to drive home. A special restaurant and one I recommend.
