Main Menu
From ramen to dim sum, Richmond’s highly authentic Asian dining scene is a huge hook for local and visiting foodies. But the city is also home to an under-the-radar menu of restaurants that showcase delicious dishes and culinary traditions from other parts of the world.
Keen to dive into everything from marinated Hawaiian ribs to juicy Afghan kebabs and from velvet-soft Greek lamb to amazing Spanish tapas? Read on for our 10 road-tested Richmond recommendations––then launch your own international dine-out adventure without even leaving town.
ALOHA HAWAIIAN GRILL
110-3900 Bayview Street, Richmond, BC
The perfect antidote to a West Coast rainy day, dive into a sunny serving of Hawaiian comfort food at this Steveston Village charmer. Choose from a tempting array of hearty, homestyle dishes such as Maui beef ribs or grilled spam with eggs on rice. And be sure to finish your feast with a bowl of shave ice––flavour options include kiwi, guava, pina colada and many more.
AFGHAN CHOPAN
1699-8260 Westminster Highway, Richmond, BC
Situated on the storefront exterior of the Richmond Public Market building, this local favourite serves an enticing menu of lovingly prepared Afghan comfort dishes. Kebabs are the mainstay, with delicious chicken, lamb and beef varieties available. Make sure you check all the combo options (lunch specials included) and save room for mantu, delicate dumplings filled with seasoned meat and topped with a flavorful sauce. If you are a dumpling lover, don’t miss the chance to explore even more delicious dumplings along the Richmond Dumpling Trail.
Anar
12051 Third Avenue, Richmond, BC
The menu at this highly hospitable Persian eatery incorporates intriguing echoes of Greek, Turkish and even Russian food traditions. Popular dishes include braised lamb Baghali Polo as well as chicken, walnut and pomegranate Fesenjoon, a sweet and sour Iranian stew. There are also several excellent vegetarian and vegan options plus banquet-like share platters that are perfect for special occasion feasting.
BiBo
7899 Templeton Station Road, Richmond, BC
Need a break during your bargain-hunting visit to McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Vancouver Airport? Snag a seat at one of the shopping complex’s popular eateries. We love BiBo’s wild salmon gnocchi but sharing a luscious pancetta, sausage and salami pizza is also highly recommended. Dessert? Consider nearby Hugo’s, where the Mexican-themed menu includes churros served with ice cream.
Daddy’s Grill
4020 No. 5 Road, Richmond, BC
Kebab fans should hotfoot it to this large, fancy-free local favourite that offers a simple but perfectly executed menu of flavourful wraps, skewers and hearty kebab platters. Portions are generous and everything is freshly made––we especially love their Joje Kebab dish with its marinated charbroiled chicken, fluffy basmati rice, crisp salad and special sauce. Arriving hungry is essential!
Damien’s Belgian Waffles
3891 Chatham Street, Richmond, BC
Beeline to this bright breakfast and lunch café and browse the chalkboard menu of chunky Liege-style waffles. They come in a wide array of options––including maple, caramel, banana and yuzu––with toppings such as fresh fruit, chocolate sauce, vanilla ice cream and more. You can also pick-up some frozen ones to take home––brunch at home will never be the same again.
Kisamos Greek Taverna
3420 Moncton Street, Richmond, BC
Enter this warm, family-run restaurant and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to a sun-dappled Greek island. It’s hard to stop yourself from gorging on the warm pita bread that quickly arrives at your table, but save room for one of their classic Mediterranean comfort dishes––including moussaka, souvlaki or butter-soft roast lamb. We also love their great-value lunch specials.
Little Mexico Cantina
150-3131 Chatham Street, Richmond, BC
The menu at this popular Steveston staple reads like a road map of regional Mexican cuisine, with options ranging from fajitas and enchiladas to a delicious seafood stew and a huge array of taco choices. The salsa, hot sauces and crispy nachos at Little Mexico Cantina are all made from scratch, and serve as the the foundation of the restaurant’s success. This is the perfect spot for sharing a selection of small plates and a margarita or two.
Lamajoun
128-11782 River Road, Richmond, BC
This highly welcoming Armenian bakery café serves takeout treats such as sweet baklava and flaky borek pastries. But we recommend ordering a selection of shareable dishes and grabbing a table upstairs. Our favourites? The beef-packed khinkali dumplings; delicious homestyle soups; and the hearty cheese pastry ‘boat’ filled with three types of cheese and topped with an egg.
Jamoneria by ARC
1020-12471 Horseshoe Way, Richmond, BC
This unique import business combines a small but brilliantly curated store filled with Spanish food items––plus the chance to find a table and sample some authentic Iberian dishes in their onsite tasting room. Gather your friends and dive into a delicious array of sharing plates, including mouthwatering cheeses, charcuterie, olives and cooked dishes (barbecued pork ribs recommended). There’s also a great Spanish wine list to explore here.
