Located on Richmond’s bustling Swan Street, Caddie is perhaps, one of the most exciting Melbourne restaurant openings this year. The brainchild of Chef Dylan Evans whose resume includes stints at some of the best restaurants in the world including Noma (Denmark), Manresa (LA), Alinea (Chicago) as well as Melbourne’s staple watering holes – State of Grace and Fargo and Co., Caddie is a venue which is versatile enough...

I had an amazing dining experience at Caddie. This minimal yet elegant restaurant is a great addition to the Richmond dining scene. Each dish is prepared with the freshest locally sourced ingredients, and there are several delicious vegetable options available. I was particularly impressed by the lupini beans, which have a unique flavor that is a mix between corn and garbanzo beans. They are apparently a popular bar snack in some parts of Latin America. I also enjoyed the carrots with bread salt and the beetroot with salted plum on a bed of yogurt. Even though I'm not usually a fan of beetroot, this dish was exceptional. To finish, I indulged in a rich dark chocolate mousse with pear. Although the menu at Caddie may appear simple, the exceptional quality and preparation of each ingredient truly sets it apart from other restaurants. While they may not offer a wide variety of dishes, everything they serve is done to perfection.
Richmond favourite Meatmother closed earlier this year, and it didn’t take long for a replacement, Caddie, to pop up in its place. Caddie is owner/chef Dylan Evans’ first restaurant and he brings a wealth of experience to the venue, having worked in the kitchen at Noma (Copenhagen), Manresa (Los Gatos), Alinea (Chicago), and Fargo Co (Melbourne).
Had an enjoyable dinner at Caddie on Friday night. Design is very sleek and the staff were absolutely lovely. The menu was nice but was fairly limited. Between 4 we shared the kingfish sashimi, the pork and the steak special as mains and the beetroot, the black cabbage and the chicken fat potatoes as sides. The food was pleasant and all cooked well but no dish was overly memorable flavour wise. Still a good option for a slightly finer dining option on Swan street though.
Amazing, came here for lunch on a Thursday. At first I was the only person dining then another table of two came along. I had the lunch special which was 3 courses for $30, very decently priced. Had the house made bread with butter curd, delicious. As for the mains, I had a choice between pasta with pine mushrooms or a breaded chicken, obviously I chose the pasta. And it didn’t disappoint, good flavours and the pasta was al dente. As for dessert, it was a quince almond cake with cultured cream. Nice not too sweet. Overall, I enjoyed my lunch and would love to return for dinner!
