    Still one of the best places to eat in Richmond. Having been lucky enough to visit France on multiple occasions, I say with all honesty that the baguette and other bread at Can Can is on par with what you’ll enjoy in Paris, Lyon, etc.

    The Tinsel & Tequila cocktails were some of the best I’ve had for a Christmas pop-up menu, well prepared and much more enjoyable than other restaurants in Richmond. The empanadas were fresh and hot, and we loved the Casa Crunch Burrito. I recommend a stop by for happy hour at the bar, or for dinner before a night out with friends.
