A stopping place in the heart of the city.
"A neighbourhood spot means the owners are around most days, the staff maintain their position for years and there's too many familiar faces to really just 'be in and out'."
Richmond Station is a neighbourhood restaurant. We grew up with a passion for those romantic neighbourhood spots where you could reliably grab a bite to eat once a month, two nights in a row or whenever the fridge was bare. Your favourite items never leave the menu and if they do, the chef wants to make it for you all the same.
Richmond Station opened in October 2012. The first meal we ate here was a Thanksgiving dinner, together as a staff. Our moms and dads were milling about helping to clean, paint and be enthusiastic. We cleared away enough construction site to push a dozen tables together and even today we can't remember what we ate. The food was important, but getting to know each other seemed a higher priority. That first meal will forever be among our most favourite.
A neighbourhood restaurant is woven into the fabric of the community where it lives, equal parts contributor and beneficiary.
