Fueling up with a hearty morning meal is the perfect way to start a great day out in Richmond. And luckily, the city is jam-packed with enticing eateries that are guaranteed to satisfy even the growliest of empty stomachs. While dim sum is a popular go-to for many (you’ll find several great options along our Dumpling Trail), this list focuses more on breakfast and brunch spots that are easy to enjoy solo or with a smaller group. Hungry for some delicious local picks? Read on for our handpicked recommendations—and discover the most delicious ways to kick off your morning.
THE STORY CAFE EATERY & BAR
2800 Sexsmith Road, Richmond, BC
A firm favourite with local brunch fans, there’s a great selection of elevated classics and more at this warm, diner-esque destination. Served daily from 8:00am, their top-sellers include egg bennies, duck confit hash and the richly delicious house specialty, Chicken French Toast––brioche bread dipped in coconut custard and topped with buttermilk fried chicken.
BRITANNIA BREWING COMPANY
12240 Second Avenue, Richmond, BC
Snag a perch on the sun-dappled patio of this friendly Steveston resto-bar and enjoy an alfresco brunch––served from Tuesday to Sunday with extended hours on weekends. You’ll find everything from waffles to avocado toast to a classic Brewers Breaky on the menu here. But if you can’t resist the lure of perfectly battered rockfish and shoestring fries, this is the place to dive right in.
75 WEST COAST GRILL
7571 Westminster Highway, Richmond, BC
One of several city centre hotel restaurant options, this one serves far more than most. Breakfast (from 6:30am daily) includes a la carte choices from corned beef hash to classic eggs and bacon as well as a buffet with all your favourite dishes and cooked-to-order eggs. And on weekends (from 11:30am), there’s a brunch offering with “bottomless eggs benny” and “bottomless bubbles” beverage options.
FLYING BEAVER BAR & GRILL
4760 Inglis Drive, Richmond, BC
A wood-floored Richmond pub with lovely riverfront views, there’s a satisfying selection of breakfast and brunch options to choose from here. Consider popular favourites such as waffles and omelettes or dive straight into their aptly named bacon-sausage-and-eggs Biggie Breakfast. We also love the eggs bennies here, with topping options ranging from pork belly to smoked salmon.
LITTLE KARP
110-8631 Alexandra Road, Richmond, BC
This award-winning Eat Street restaurant fuses inventive Asian and Western approaches to create a unique selection of tempting dishes––especially on their monthly-changing brunch menu. Recent options have included sausage shakshuka, smoked duck breast skillet and seafood eggs benedict made with scallops, shrimp and octopus. Still hungry? Create your own brunch set combo with soup or salad and a tasty dessert.
TOAST TO COAST BRUNCH BAR
130-3760 Moncton Street, Richmond, BC
The menu is suffused with delicious and inventive Korean flourishes at this hugely popular Steveston corner restaurant—but it’s best to arrive off-peak to sidestep the queues (especially on weekends). Consider the tasty eggs benny option that’s made with beef bulgogi and kimchi jam or check out the Korean-style fried chicken served with a signature waffle and lovely house-made pickles.
EGGSPECTATION
10551 St. Edwards Drive, Richmond, BC
There’s a ginormous array of options at the only BC branch of this popular Montreal chain––including entire menu pages of omelettes and eggs bennies plus multiple waffle and pancake possibilities (authentic Quebec maple syrup included). We especially love the Signature Dishes here, ranging from chicken and waffles to breakfast poutine—which they make with bacon, sausage, ham and cheese curds topped with gravy and crowned with a sunny side egg.
CHA KEE
President Plaza Food Court, 8181 Cambie Road, Richmond, BC
Richmond is well-served by Hong Kong-style breakfast eateries––any food court worth its salt here has at least one mom-and-pop counter offering simple and satisfying dishes of eggs, white-bread toast, milk tea and more. But this fancy-free President Plaza favourite is particularly famous for its thick and silky scrambled egg sandwiches. Hot tip: arrive off-peak to avoid the lineups!
LIDO
4231 Hazelbridge Way, Richmond, BC
Located in Central Square between Aberdeen Centre and Parker Place, this classic Hong Kong-style café is best known for its legendary pineapple bun with butter. Fresh from the oven with a thick slab of cold butter inside, it’s a sweet-salty must-try that draws loyal fans daily. Pair it with milk tea or go all in with satay beef stuffed in the bun for a heartier start.
