A meeting place for Richmond locals (and everyone else!)
WAYGOOD was borne from a desire to slow down and keep things simple.
(216)

Before lockdown, Melbourne had accelerated to such a pace that it often slipped our minds to take a breath and enjoy ourselves. At WAYGOOD, our intention is to do just that. It’s our little haven on Richmond Hill, as a place to give back to our community the best way we know how: by giving you a place to meet, share good food and create memories.

The Sarti Spritz has been all over your feed for a reason. Fill a big w**e glass with ice, pour in three parts prosecco, two parts Sarti Rosa and a splash of soda, give it a quick stir and you’re done. Or skip the effort and let us pour you one.

Some dishes are good on their own. These two are better with bread. Whipped ricotta with charred peas, watercress and pangrattato, and stracciatella with crisp fennel, green apple and pesto, both best with a few pieces of our house-made focaccia.

The best part of date night is the bit before the food arrives, when the w**e’s poured, nobody’s checking their phone and there’s no rush to be anywhere else.
Book a table for two through the link in our bio.

Time for another of Ari’s special pours. This round, it’s the 2023 Adelina “Smith Vineyard” Cabernet Franc out of the Clare Valley. It’s lighter, fresh and full of red fruit, the kind of glass that disappears quicker than you’d planned. W**e nerds, swipe across for the tasting notes.

Meet Tiger and Sof, friends for over a decade and a long lunch is still their favourite way to catch up.
This is our favourite part of running a local, watching people come in sit down and make time for each other. More of these stories coming soon.

Our first pop-up came and went in a cloud of smoke, and we couldn’t have asked for a better start. Thanks to everyone who pulled up a chair.

Same time next Saturday. Don’t be late.

It usually starts with one glass on the way home. Then it’s a standing Thursday. Then suddenly you’ve got a usual and we’re pouring it before you’ve sat down.

Who’s the friend you made at your local? Tag them.

Introducing Waygood Pop-up Saturdays.
Every Saturday from 1pm, the terrace hosts something new. First up, this Saturday the 24th, it’s arrosticini, the little skewers Abruzzo is famous for.

After that? Even we’re not totally sure but the chefs have ideas. Happy hour runs 1 till 4, with our new Sarti Spritz.
It’s passionfruit, blood orange and mango, and it tastes like summer arrived early.

What should the chefs cook next? Drop your pick below.

20/10/2026

Every kitchen has a busiest night and ours is
Wednesday. The dockets don’t stop, the pans don’t cool down, and the room fills with people who’ve worked out the best deal in town. Get in early or book ahead.
How do you like your steak cooked? Tell us below

The hardest part was finding a date that worked for everyone.
The easy part is the table, the w**e and the next three hours.

Sound on for this one!!! That crunch is our potato cakes cracking open and they go straight into a pile of whipped cod roe sprinkled with a little bit of sumac.
They are crispy, salty, creamy and it’s the kind of snack you say you’ll share and then quietly don’t.

14/10/2026

Something’s firing up on the terrace.
From Saturday the 24th arrosticini are taking over
from 1 o’clock until sold out, with happy hour running alongside. It’s a Saturday lunch thing and it’s here until Christmas.

Full details drop next week. For now just keep your
Saturdays free.

08/10/2026

Melbourne’s finally warming up and the terrace is calling. Longer evenings, a cold glass of something and dinner that runs a bit later than planned.
Bookings are open now, link in bio.

06/10/2026

If you’re getting the steak get a glass of this too. It’s the Siren, a Nero d’Avola from our friends at Alpha Box & Dice in McLaren Vale and it’s one of our special pours. Trust us on this one! W**e nerds, the tasting notes are on slide 3.
