Main Menu
It’s easy to find yourself visiting the same familiar eateries over and over again. But in Richmond, where there are hundreds of deliciously diverse restaurants to discover, it’s well worth tracking down a few new places to add to your personal dine-out menu.
Looking for suggestions? Read on for some tasty local eateries you might be unfamiliar with. Each of these establishments has opened in the city over the past 12 months––and every one of them is worth considering the next time you’re feeling peckish and adventurous.
HOUSE OF DAWN STEAKHOUSE
130 – 8171 Ackroyd Road, Richmond, BC
A contemporary steakhouse with Asian culinary influences, this city-centre restaurant serves a tempting menu of meat-forward dishes. You’ll find everything here from porterhouse steaks to dry-aged ribeye and from Japanese wagyu donburi to foie gras rice bowls. Befitting its lounge-like ambiance, there’s also a great beverage program, ranging from sake to cocktails and beyond.
GORDON RAMSAY STEAK
8811 River Road, Richmond, BC
Speaking of steakhouses, check out the snazzy new restaurant at the River Rock Casino Resort. Despite his famously grumpy demeanor, the Ramsay name means joyously delicious dishes such as beef wellington and top-quality steak cuts plus West Coast-inspired options like miso-glazed sablefish. A great choice for a special occasion dinner, don’t miss the sunset river views across the Fraser.
LAVASH SEASIDE GRILL
108 – 3800 Bayview Street, Richmond, BC
Located at Steveston’s scenic Fisherman’s Wharf (aim for a sunny day patio table), the huge menu at this friendly, family-run restaurant combines comfort food classics such as tacos, salmon burgers and fish and chips with tasty international options including prawn biryani and Persian lamb stew. That means there’s something for everyone here––luscious tiramisu dessert included!
LEE’S DONUTS
110 – 4180 Bayview Street, Richmond, BC
Craving some more sweet treats? Try the new Steveston branch of Lee’s Donuts, a Granville Island icon that’s been expanding across the region in recent years. Located on the shoreline promenade east of Fisherman’s Wharf, you’ll find eye-rollingly-delicious classics such as honey dip and jelly filled plus special seasonal flavours that are always impossible to resist.
OKOME
150 – 11099 No. 1 Road, Richmond, BC
Fans of perfectly prepared inari sushi should beeline to this bright and friendly spot in Steveston. Serving more than two-dozen varieties of the little golden-fried tofu parcels (including spicy tuna and salmon avocado options), the surprisingly large menu also includes udon, poké-style rice bowls and a wide array of smoothies, milk teas and more.
GYUBEE JAPANESE GRILL
50 – 8100 Ackroyd Road, Richmond, BC
Dive into this new all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurant––the first B.C. branch of a successful Ontario chain––and you won’t need to eat for several days. Each table comes with a grill, enabling you to prepare to perfection your own selections from a menu that ranges from marinated lamb to miso pork belly and from chicken thighs to black pepper kalbi. Save room for a crème brûlée finale as well.
HESTIA KITCHEN + BAR
160 – 4351 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC
The new sibling to a highly successful restaurant in Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighbourhood, this inviting Richmond location serves deliciously elevated dishes in a warm and casual setting. That means must-try options like truffle burgers and lobster risotto plus a well-curated beverage menu and a tempting Monday-to-Thursday happy hour (spicy chicken sandwich recommended).
JIANGNAN WOK
1211 – 8338 Capstan Way, Richmond, BC
The Best New Restaurant winner at 2024’s Chinese Restaurant Awards, this revelatory Huaiyang eatery has been wowing savvy diners since opening day. Fusing classic and innovative contemporary approaches with a commitment to top-quality ingredients, the must-try dishes here include the remarkable Handful of Pepper Fried Eel Paste with Emerald Vegetable Fried Rice.
LANXUAN RESTAURANT
170 – 3631 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC
One of the cornerstones of Richmond’s most notable new Cantonese restaurants is chef Wei Lai, recently recognized as Dim Sum Chef of the Year at Metro Vancouver’s Chinese Restaurant Awards. Working his creative magic via classic dishes and innovative new approaches (we love the green-hued vermicelli rolls), book ahead for a sought-after table at this elegant and inviting eatery.
MIION CAFÉ
130 – 6386 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC
If you’re looking for a quick pick me up, head to this warm and welcoming city centre café where top-quality java is the foundation. Expect perfect macchiatos and silky flat whites alongside expertly prepared specialty beverages such as their lovely London fog latte. Peckish? You’ll also find hearty salads, sandwiches and bakery treats to satisfy your hunger pangs here.
