Beloved local restaurants on Lafayette Street
At dinnertime, head to Lafayette Street to enjoy one of Richmond’s most beloved restaurants, Stella’s. Serving rustic and modern Greek cuisine since 1983, these coveted tables fill up quickly so it’s best to make a reservation in advance. Share a flaming plate of saganaki — kefalograviera cheese served with grilled pita — before savoring rich dishes like pastichio, comprised of fat noodles and spiced ground beef baked with bechamel. If the reservation book is full, don’t worry — in 2017, sister market Stella’s Grocery opened right across the street, with an espresso bar and shelves stocked with grab-and-go Greek meals and gourmet snacks. For groceries, head to Kroger on Willow Lawn Drive. This area is also home to a bustling shopping center, The Shops At Willow Lawn, with a collection of more than 30 popular retailers including Dick’s Sporting Goods, Old Navy, Ross Dress for Less and Victoria’s Secret. You’ll also find familiar fast-casual restaurants like Panera Bread, Chopt and Cava.
