Our story
A Vietnamese heart
in Richmond.
A neighbourhood restaurant shaped by family pride, generous hospitality and chef Quan Nguyen’s culinary journey.
Paper Plate Restaurant
We cook with one foot in the rich culinary history of Vietnam and the other in the bright, changing streets of Melbourne.
At Paper Plate, presentation matters—but never at the expense of flavour or warmth. The menu brings together old and modern street-food inspiration, colourful produce and the kind of generous dishes that naturally travel around a shared table.
Meet the chef
Quan Nguyen
Bringing his culinary dream to life in Richmond, Quan creates food grounded in memory, family and the energetic flavours of Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
His cooking is vibrant and contemporary, but the intention is simple: make people feel welcome and give them something delicious to share.
