The tarragon chicken salad is delicious, and I LOVE the small block of cheese. The fresh pickles are a good compliment to the chicken salad, and that's normally my go to lunch meal. Today I went with the fettuccine, feta and tomatoes! Delicious and filling! Meals come with a side of bread and everything on the menu being in the $7-10 range is incredibly reasonable for downtown Richmond. There's always a line, but service is fast and friendly.

Overall, I enjoyed each one. I really like the tortillas, add a little chewy to the bite. Each taco had double tortilla so I was able to pick up and eat them without losing any of the fillings. 1. Pork Belly Taco: so good!!! Great flavor and loved the crunch of the fried shallots. 2. Pork American: my favorite of them all! The pork was moist and the sauce was fabulous!! Just a bit of heat and so much flavor. 3. Chicken Mexican: pretty good. I really really like the chipotle cream. The chicken wasn't as moist as the pork, but still good. 4. Beef Asian: spicy! The smell made my mouth water. The Asian flavor in this taco was so good! The people were friendly, but we limited interaction so I'm sure I didn't get the full experience. Ordered online and waited in car til text told me it was ready. I will definitely eat Boka again!

The food truck options at the event were only three choices...

Just updating my review to say I still love this farmers market. When I was living in Southside, we…read moreused to come here a lot. Now I come occasionally to check it out with my friends still in Southside. My favorite vendors that come here are Maharajah Coffee and First Stop Donuts. I love the people running them! I enjoy that it's right in the park so there are quite a few benches to sit on. There are also fun paths to explore with a warm drink and yummy snacks. I highly recommend ordering goodies from the vendors then having a picnic in Forest Hill Park. On my recent visit, I bought some rainbow carrots, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, fennel, and Europa fresh bread. As it gets colder there can be fewer vendors, but they carry everything you could hope and dream of. I loved checking out a vendor that sold holiday candles. There is tons of parking here and it's easy to bike or bus to. I'd recommend checking this market out.

The brick and mortar also houses RVA Street Foodies around the back, but once you step inside, there are two frozen dessert carts holding the different flavors. We tried the Mango Pina Colada with a strawberry drizzle, and Tie Dye (which is a swirl of lemon, lemon-lime, and blue raspberry). Both were of super generous amount that comes in a cup. I really liked the strawberry drizzle, as it seemed to be made with real strawberry puree; the Mango Pina Colada tasted much better than the Tie Dye, as the Tie Dye seemed to be more lemon-centric. I also thought it would have been more icy, but it was super smooth and sort of overly 'soft,' if that makes any sense! Staff were friendly, and there are about two small 2-seater benches to wait for your dessert and some tables in the back; otherwise, the place seems to be more of a to-go/carry-out place. I'm glad I was able to check this place out. +get the strawberry drizzle +friendly staff +limited seating

Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Cathedral (I imagine it is typically here, this was my first year attending). It ran from May 28-31. I think of it as one huge food festival. I had a friend that attending on a Thursday and if you want to avoid lines, this is the move. I was silly and went on a Saturday. My mom and I attended after lunch. While I wish we tried some of the food, the lines were horrendous. The food smells were incredible though. They even had a drive through for the food. It's a free festival to attend. There are various booths with a variety of Greek (and some beyond Greek) foods to get as well as a fun shopping goods corner. I imagine it's similar each year, but outside had tents of food and plenty of seating. Inside the church there was a market place with things like clothes, jewelry, candles, olive oils, and more. It was hot outside so I got a Lemon Ice from kids running a booth nearby. My mom was most excited to see the shows. There was dancing and live music scheduled for 2:30pm that didn't start until about 2:50pm. We thankfully found shaded seats while we waited and had a lot of fun people watching. I am excited to return next year and try to go on a Thursday or Friday so I can try the actual food.

Of course everyone has favorites, I never leave without Mama J's southern cooking or Happy Empanada, but I definitely recommend trying at least one new restaurant and meal while you're here. This year I am so glad I tried The Shaved Duck Restaurant's Parisian gnocchi with confit duck. Never something I would have ordered off a menu, but was the best thing I've had in a long time! In addition to three blocks of restaurant booths, there are also a variety of craft vendors, a free phone charging station, two music stages, and usually a few street performers to entertain the crowd. Street parking is free in most areas on Sundays but is extremely limited, so be prepared to walk. The festival is pet and family friendly, but it can get very, very crowded, so leave your giant strollers and anxious pups at home.

My only complaint is that the park has a narrow road coming in, and when there is a beautiful weather day like this it takes about 30 minutes to get in and park. Definitely worth the visit if you have never been!
