Had a great experience at Richmond Station! We came here to celebrate an anniversary and were greeted promptly by the staff. We ordered the beef tartare, station burger, and chorizo spaghetti. The beef tartare was good but I definitely had higher expectations from all the reviews. The spaghetti was forgettable, we couldn't really taste the chorizo and the dish just lacked flavour. The burger was absolutely amazing. They recommend having it medium rare and it was so juicy. The beet chutney was delicious on it and despite being a burger, didn't feel too heavy. The fries were also perfectly cooked. For dessert we ordered the chocolate mousse with olive oil ice cream. We really enjoyed this one too. I really like how tip is already included in the prices. After paying they also gave us some salted caramel chocolate which were delicious as well. Will definitely be back for the burger and more desserts!
The service was exceptional! The staff was very helpful and always attentive. Ambiance was a little loud, depends on who you sit beside I suppose but it was hard to hear my partner across the table until the table next to us left. For the food, I got the station burger, the beef tartare, and the chorizo spaghetti. The beef tartare had rave reviews online, but I found it to be good but not great. The chorizo spaghetti was a bit disappointing, nothing about it really popped out, including the chorizo. The station burger however was insanely good. The patty can be medium rare or well done, and comes with a delicious aioli. If I came here again, I'd basically just get the burger and I'd walk out very satisfied.
I came here at the recommendation of a friend for my birthday, and it delivered perfectly. You can tell they put a lot of thought into everything - food, service and decor. You can definitely tell it's meant for a nicer night out as the servers are very kinda and attentive, explaining each dish thoroughly and even grabbing coat check for you. Food-wise I found everything a lot of fun! There were a lot of familiar flavours but executed in different ways that made it exciting to eat. I can really tell that each dish required a lot of thought and execution even though I'm not so well versed in cooking myself. I got the duck, and everything in the dish worked extremely well together. It also reminded me of Asian BBQ duck which was a pleasant surprise. I also really enjoyed the beef tartare. The meat was great quality, and something about the potatoes on top were just addictive... better than the potatoes we had with the main. They do have seasonal dishes as well and are constantly rotating the menu, so I would love to come again! Overall a solid experience and a great pick for any special occasion.
I am back once again with a new review. I'm so happy everytime I come back here. To start, the food is always delicious, the chefs always do their best to accommodate without compromising quality, and you can really tell that they care about the quality that gets served. This time they updated the menu with heavier fare for the winter and since my last visit 3 years ago, I let them know that i developed a gluten intolerance in top of my pork and dairy intolerance. Servers were well versed and so friendly and made sure i was pleased with my dinner service. Now onto the food. Because of my intolerances they took liberties to adjust what was on the menu (I always order the chefs tasting menu) and replaced a few items (in my case, gave me 2 off menu items and an additional sweet fudge treat to send me off!) . Please note everything was gluten and dairy and pork free. Amuse bouche was something from their specials - salmon tartar on shiso, but was not on the chefs menu. Creamy but very light. Beef tartar with crispy potato. Surprisingly flavour packed - don't be fooled by the size. My favourite was the carrots - surprisingly delightful - I had a ratatouille moment with the ingredients. By themselves it's unassuming but when you pair them together it's an explosion - nay, a symphony!- for your tastebuds. Seafood rice tastes exactly like a congee - quite delicious but I missed out on the chili butter spice due to the dairy intolerance. I imagine it would've been completely perfect, however I loved it this way also because its exactly like how I would make jt and was so comforting. Creamy without the cream, scallops were scalloping... the only thing I didn't care for was the cilantro because unfortunately i have the gene that makes things taste like soap but I ate it anyway. (Not a great look for someone already intolerant to so many things). Next was a surprise off menu item of the chicken. This was the solid favourite right next to the carrots. Fuckin delicious. Perfect balance of spice, salt, fat, and acid. And the plating was beautiful! And definitely outshined the man beef dish. Stole the show even. The beef dish was surprisingly mayo forward. But everything was cooked perfectly. My favourite part of this was actually the gluten free bread because I have been craving it all week and I don't know how they did it but it was so soft and moist on the inside but crunchy on the outside. The last desserts were vegan. By that point I was so full I can't even remember enjoying it but what stood out to me the most was the vegan bar. It had 3 layers: chocolate crumb base, coconut cream base, and a layer that sort of tasted like firm tofu. And it was topped with a sweet lemon touille. The chocolate fudge and vegan chocolate icecream. Chocolate isn't my favourite flavour and i was low key hoping for sage and sweet potato because it sounds like such a unique flavour combo.. but I enjoyed it with the sea salt as it helps cut the chocolate sweetness. I understand why they couldn't serve it. But now I have ideas on how to try making it at home. Very happy with the service here. I'll continue to share this joy and this restaurant with my peers.
Hidden away in downtown Toronto, this upscale French restaurant is a true gem. What's special is that it doesn't charge a service fee. Every dish is surprisingly delicious. The restaurant has a lively and charming atmosphere that's hard to leave behind One dish in particular that stands out is the foie gras. Golden, crispy toast topped with sweet and tangy maple syrup is incredibly appetizing. Another must-try is their signature dish--double portion of musk duck. Three slices of tender, juicy duck with crispy, delicious skin. Three slices of duck are really too little.
Visited here for work with a client for another shot at their lunch menu - and this time it was a hit! There's a reason this restaurant is considered a Toronto institution after all. Among everyone we ordered almost everything off the menu and the food was delicious with no exceptions - actually, the person who had the rabbit "just to try it" wasn't too sure about the dish after all...that one should be left to an adventurous soul. I was however just slightly disappointed with the dessert I selected - the earl grey rhubarb trifle - which sounded very fancy on paper but did not end up delivering as much to the palate. Next time, I'll stick with the traditional offerings. Service was excellent as always, with staff that were consistently friendly, attentive, and accommodating - they do everything they can to make you comfortable and welcomed. The space was a little cramped (relative to other upscale restaurants in the area), but it wasn't a problem having conversations or being heard. I noticed on their website that they now offer a two-course fixed price lunch for $49 (add $10 for any dessert), which is so reasonable I would even come back without work as an excuse!
Had a really nice experience here. The food was flavorful and well prepared, and everything came out fresh. I especially liked that the dishes felt satisfying without being too heavy. The service was friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was comfortable and easy to enjoy. It's the kind of place that works well whether you're stopping by for a casual meal or meeting friends. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm in the area.
We went for the Six Course Chef's Tasting Menu as a family since I owed them a big favour recently. The menu probably changes with the seasons so I won't get into every detail, but what really stood out was how thoughtfully each course was prepared and how approachable the flavors were. Even someone not familiar with Western fine dining would find it enjoyable. My mom usually sticks with Asian cuisine, so I was a little nervous about how she would take it. Watching her finish every plate, even down to the last drop of sauce, honestly made me smile the whole evening. The service added to it too. The servers were warm and attentive, and when I saw her make the effort to express her gratitude to them directly, I knew we were in the right place. For a first experience with a tasting menu like this, Richmond Station feels like the perfect spot. It goes beyond just being "delicious" and becomes a shared memory. The dining room was full, but everyone seemed happy and relaxed, and that energy made the night feel even more special. Richmond Station is now where I'd start if I ever wanted to introduce someone new to this kind of dining.
Richmond Station never misses. Every visit feels like a masterclass in thoughtful cooking and effortless hospitality. The menu strikes that perfect balance between refined and comforting--beautifully plated, but never precious. From impeccably cooked mains to desserts that quietly steal the show, each dish is layered, balanced, and clearly made with intention. Standouts across the table: bold flavours, clean execution, and sauces you want to chase with a spoon. The burger? Still one of the best in the city--juicy, rich, and worth the hype every single time. Desserts are elegant and restrained, letting quality ingredients do the heavy lifting. What really sets Richmond Station apart is consistency. You can feel the pride in the kitchen and the warmth in the service. This is Toronto dining done right--approachable, elevated, and deeply satisfying. A must-visit, and an easy return.
We have been to Richmond Station previously when we stayed in Toronto the last time it was excellent. We were surprised to be seated at the same table as our previous visit upstairs with a full view of the kitchen. Calling earlier in the day to secure a table the same night. Our reservation was for 8:15 and we were seated at 8:30. Our waitress Bea was quiet but friendly and attentive. The only issue i had was she did'nt tell us about the specials. We started off with a couple of Spicy Caesar's/Bloody Mary's which were delicious. We have two children a tween and a teen. They ordered off the kids menu which has some teen friendly offerings. They previously had the Station Burgers which they enjoyed. This time they tried the pasta which had a weird shape and texture. So take this into account if your kids order it. We started out with the Oyster Mushroom app which my wife and I loved. Then for our main dish I had the Duo of Muscovy Duck, I thought the preparation of the one was a little more rare than I usually like for my duck but still acceptable. The second preparation was out of this world its at the top of the photo I took. My wife had the halibut which she enjoyed said it was a bit over salty. Overall the meal was great. Until next time. read more
Came here with a friend on a Friday night, we called 30 minutes before arriving and were lucky to get a spot. (make reservations) When we came we were seated at a big table across from one another with people on either side of us. It was cozy to say the least, you could definitely not have a private conversation here. Food: (3.5 stars): - Beef Tartare 4 stars. $11. (tasty but tiny tiny portions) - Station Burger 3.5 stars $24 (lettuce, beet chutney, aged cheddar, milk bun, rosemary fries, dill pickle, garlic aioli). It was good, but almost tried too hard. The size of the burger was on the lower end. The bun was unique, but did not complement the burger. The main part of this burger is that it can be cooked to medium rare (means the place actually minced their own meat). - Black Forest Manhatten 3 stars $17 - good but had better elsewhere The total for 2 people, came to just over $100. Service (4 stars): friendly and attentive Ambiance (2 stars): For the price of the food I would expect the place to be slightly more upscale. Final thoughts: Nothing amazing for the price, I found everything good, but for the price you can get better value elsewhere in the city. read more

Found this little place in Toronto. So very yummy. The good really is amazing. Not to many tables. I got lucky and got in, but I would make reservations. I will definitely be back. Great feel & ambiance. read more
Everyone raves about Richmond Station. I can see why, but only if you order the right dishes. Crispy Penny Potatoes $13 comtomme cheese, beer mustard, garlic emulsion I liked the garlic lard-like emulsion with the potatoes as well as the cheese. The mustard would have tasted better without the beer. Quite a small portion, though it had more substance than some of the other appetizers around the same price range Duck 2 Ways $29 parsnip puree, roasted pear, braised endive, curly leaf kale, ruby port jus Definitely worth ordering. Very flavourful and the duck was juicy! Kind of upset they removed the Polenta Fries from the menu. I knew this before coming in, but hoping they would come back at some time. Crossing my fingers. The ambiance and service are superb! read more
I'm so glad my team found this restaurant on our recent business trip to Toronto. We were attending a conference at the Metro Toronto Convention Center and Richmond Station is a nice 15 minute walk away. We had reservations for 8 and they put us in a private room in the back which was just perfect for our group. When we got in the restaurant, I immediately smelled lamb being cooked and I knew what I was ordering for the night. The lamb duo was the entree special and my main course for the evening. The team decided to start with the charcuterie and cheese plate as well as the fresh oysters. When we saw the dessert menu, we decided to order all of them and the dessert special as well. Overall, the meal was great. Service was good even though they were really busy. Highly recommend this place to groups visiting town. read more
This restaurant is a classic in Toronto for upscale dining at a reasonable price. I got the duck two ways: served as a duck croquette and duck confit. The croquette was good but I much preferred the duck confit, as that is where you truly get to appreciate the flavour and texture of the duck. For dessert we got the spiced apple pudding - the texture reminded me of cassava cake. The flavours were harmonious and went well together! read more
Please don't get discouraged or dissuaded, I am a tough crowd. This place is overall very good, but there were several things that just didn't work for me, and kept it from the fourth or fifth star. I started off with the Chamomile Fields (non-alcoholic) drink. While it was refreshing, and generally an awesome non-alcoohlic option, I found its tartness and bitterness a little a little nippy for my taste. There was just the tiniest amount of sweetness also, perhaps a little more syrup would help balance out the tartness? Sorry, not a winner. Speaking of drinks, I also had the Pits and Peels. This one hit all the right notes! It did have a little sweetness, some flavour (not too much bite) from the whiskey without being too spirit forward. There were some other flavours in there as well (a little sourness/bitterness I think, but don't quote me on this). And the foam on top added a wonderful and unique touch! 10/10 would buy again. For appetizer (from the shares menu) I ordered the beef tartare. These were amazingly executed! The crisp holding it was just the right amount of crispy without having the crunch overwhelm everything, but without being soft. The beef was the star though, the toppings mix-in's compliment the beer perfectly adding just a the right amount of freshness, and helping the taste be other than just raw beef. My favourite dish of the night, and great for sharing! Duck two ways: Man, I was looking forward to this thing for a while, and alas it left me a little disappointed. Flavor-wise it was very good, cooked really well, and other than being a little heavy on the salt, seasoned well. One of the variations had a slightly liver-y taste, and while I'm not fond of that particular flavour, I realize this is entirely my preference, and therefore will let it slide. The duck was nothing amazing, but otherwise very good. What kept this dish from living up to its full potential was that it was, in my opinion, overly busy. Things like the croutons, asparagus, and potatoes seemed extra and unnecessary. Furthermore, the way the sauces were executed (namely being on the bottom) meant that as I ate everything (duck and other "fixings") haphazardly mixed together. What I would have done, and I have no culinary experience... have the duck be topped with the sauces, and put the other ingredients towards the side, combined in a meaningful way. For my final course I had a decaf espresso and the tiramisu. There was a very small amount of espresso, but sometimes places give you less, but it is stronger, so benefit of the doubt there. The tiramisu was a miss for me. Once again it suffers from being too busy. More than that, the tiramisu portion got buried. There was a small tiramisu square, topped with a scoop of ice cream, and a very liberal amount of some kind of sauce. The sauce and ice cream were good, and the little crystals (fennel?) added a slight, pleasant crunch. Having to fight through all of that to get to the actual cake did do it for me. In their defense: on the menu it is in quotes. The service was for the most part fast, and having the chef's table (kitchen view) was cool. Finally, considering what I ordered, the value was pretty good. read more

5/5 Richmond station is one of my Top 10 favourite restaurants in Toronto. They have the best ingredient and excellent hospitality. Every dish has its unique flavours and is presented very beautifully! Each week their chefs curate a unique Multi-Course Menu. It's such a perfect way to experience Richmond Station. I have tried their chef menu a few times and every time was great! They also offer beverage pairings for Chef's menu. It's a good deal! If you love drinking, you should go for it! ‼The unique thing about Richmond Station is that they are a Hospitality Included restaurant! That means the prices we see in the menu include the cost of service!!! Isn't it a great idea? So, We don't have to think about how much we have to leave tips for the service and we know exactly how much we have to pay for the meal. Besides, their employees get paid well and don't have to rely on the tips to survive! If you plan to visit, I would recommend you make a reservation ahead of time, especially when you have a party of over six people! Highly Recommend! read more
OVERALL: Excellent restaurant in the heart of the city. Great service, good value for money and outstanding dishes - Richmond Station is a must visit. VENUE: Located right on Richmond between Bay and Yonge, the restaurant is in the heart of the city. It's a relatively small restaurant but with a comfortable layout. Reservations are a must. FOOD: Great food! We had the duck liver appetizer, famous Richmond station burger and one of the specials - beef 3 ways. The burger is a must try. SERVICE: Great service, as expected for a restaurant like this. Our server was great for recommendations. VALUE: Value for food is on point. The cocktails are a bit pricy. read more
( 4.5 rounded up) I've been to Richmond Station for both the regular and $80 Chef's tasting menu and I would have to say that although the regular menu is a much better value overall, it doesn't hurt to try the tasting menu for a special occasion because it was honestly a great experience! Firstly, the service here is always amazing - everyone is welcoming and attentive without overdoing it. As someone who drinks a lot of water during meals, my cup was always full and they always make sure to check up on you. The menu here is simple and changes occasionally to reflect the seasonal ingredients that they have. I would say that they are one of the most consistently good restaurants in Toronto and you always know that you'll get a great quality meal here. I won't go into details about what the Chef's menu served except that you won't disappointed by the variety and freshness of each dish. The atmosphere here is quite casual and it can get quite loud but all in all it deserves all the hype that it gets. read more

Appetizer pretty decent, soft and buttery brioche with duck liver - a bit greasy , would be better if any jam to balance the flavors. The other appetizer I already don't remember, prob not that good. For main I ordered the duo way duck and my accompany ordered burger. The temperature and cooked level of duck is superb. Nicely seared flavor with tender and juicy meat. Dessert just too sweat, not as recommended. read more
I went to this restaurant twice. The first time I ordered the cod and my friend ordered the duck dish. The cod was terrific. Duck was very flavourful but a bit on the salty side. We also shared a plate of duck liver pate. It tasted good but definitely not one of the best I've had. In general, we enjoyed our meal. The second time I tried their station burger because I saw good reviews on yelp, but it was horrible. The fries were completely burnt, no flavour at all. The burger was mediocre. Their food quality did not seem to be consistent, but considering the price it was still great value for money. read more
Was visiting Toronto and saw this restaurant recommended on a few guides online. Came with a few friends to try it out. Had the brie for appetizer and it was incredible. The honey, the brown butter, and the bread worked perfectly. My friends tried the burger while I tried the Duck, which i thought was very good, if a tad on the sweeter side. I like more savory duck dishes personally but I understand that sweet is a popular pairing. Tried the Milk Chocolate Mousse and Cheesecake for dessert and the Mousse was definitely the highlight of the meal for me, the flavors of raspberry and chocolate always work well. Our server was great at helping us navigate the menu and some drink pairings. Would definitely recommend if you're ever in Toronto read more

First time to Richmond station. The staff was very friendly. Food was amazing. The four of us ordered the Chef's menu with wine pairing. Each course perfectly paired with wine. Simply delicious. Prices may seem a little higher than other places but the restaurant has a policy to pay its staff well so tips is not required. You pay the price listed plus tax. That's it. All and all a very enjoyable experience. Will definitely be back read more

Found this place on Eater and it did not disappoint! Beautifully composed dishes that taste as good as they look! The cocktails are as well-thought out as the food. Phenomenal service by the staff, which you cannot tip as gratuity is included in the pricing. Would happily come here again! read more

Yes! Yes! Yes! We did the chef's table and it was dreamy. It's always so fun to watch the execution and plating of each dish. You're probably saying, but that's every chef's table and you are correct. What Richmond Station has above the others is their food. I've eaten really tasty dishes; they are so straight forward, looks pretty, tastes pretty. Richmond Station had this mushroom dish that I still think about and I ate it in June. Every bite was different except for the first and last bite. They were the same, whaaaaaaat?! Yes, that's right. Somehow I got the same bite for the first and last bite. Every bite in the middle was different from each other and the first/last bite. How is the possible? I have no clue. Also the first bite was so earthy. When people say I hate mushrooms because they taste like dirt, they are referencing this bite, but then the chef says, I'm going to show you how many different, wonderful, delicious flavor profiles a mushroom can offer. The rest of the food was wonderful, but goodness gracious that dish!! It's a must eat. read more

Came here for their chef's menu. Here were our thoughts on each course: 1. Selection of Canapés: one of the highlights of the meal! This course came with 4 mini bite size apps. I loved the tuna with sauce and duck liver in choux pastry. 2. Grass feed beef tartare: enjoyed this mini app, the tartare had great flavour, clean and refreshing. The beef wasn't the most tender. 3. Roasted squash soup: this was absolutely amazing! I've never had soup this creamy and savoury. The hazelnuts and honey crisp apple added a nice texture and to the soup. The nutty and fruity flavour added more depth to the experience. 4. Atlantic salmon: the fish was cooked on a Japanese grill to perfection! It was buttery and melts in your mouth. There was minimal seasoning to bring out the fish's natural flavor. 5. Organic chicken ballotine: this course was a bit disappointing as the chicken itself was undercooked. In the centre the chicken was still quite pink and you can clearly see the blood. Aside from that the dish was quite good. 6. Sticky toffee pudding: the warm pudding was amazing with their homemade vanilla icecream! The only downside is that it was extremely sweet. Overall I enjoyed this tasting menu experience! Aside from the chicken dish everything else was amazing read more

Updated review: five stars. We've had Richmond station twice since my last review - on New Year's Eve and just last night. We were extremely impressed with the quality, flavour, creativity and presentation with each and every dish on both occasions. It is quickly becoming our favourite restaurant in the city. At the moment, our go to dishes are the Brassica Caesar Salad, Polenta Fries, Nicola Potato Agnolotti and any of their desserts, they are all exceptional. Still haven't tried the station burger or rosemary fries - may give them a try next time. Exceptional food. Friendly and accommodating staff. Highly, highly recommended. Five stars. read more
Must try restaurant in my book - great service and even better food! We got two different cocktails to start, and they were so unique and flavorful, my only gripe was that my drink was served in a coupe and the server spilled half of it when delivering it and didn't offer to make another or refill it. For food, we started with the charcuterie board (just meat) and it was a great size for the price. We got the swordfish and burger for entrees, swordfish being elegant and well seasoned and the burger just a solid melt in your mouth burger. You need reservations, so plan ahead. A little touch I thought was SO cute was they have a card for restaurants they recommend around Toronto for us out of towners, and let me tell you those recommendations did not disappoint either. read more
The winner...and still the reigning champion...Richmond Staaaaation. [Good] Food - Been here twice now and both times the food has been nothing short of spectacular! You can always expect the unexpected here and experience flavours that you've tasted before. The first time we did the tasting menu and the second time we ended up doing an extended tasting menu that seem to run on and on (definitely a good thing). With that in mind, here are some of my brief thoughts on the dishes we were served. Village Bay oysters - A nice start to the night. Oysters were balanced and mild. I'm not usually a big fan of super briny oysters so these ones hit the spot. Charcuterie board - Included items like grilled summer sausage which had a nice grill flavour. Then there was the lardo. Thin white slices of pork fatback that I've never had before. It was interesting but quite greasy. Asparagus - This was a unique combination of white asparagus spears covered with slices of ham and coming with a side of chilled asparagus soup with hazelnut and chives yogurt. The ham flavour overpowered the asparagus a little bit. The soup was nice and refreshing. Seared scallops in lobster sauce - This was some all star level stuff. Scallops were perfectly seared and were magnificent. Lobster sauce kind of tasted like pizza. Perogie - Best I've ever had. It had a soft thin shell with cheese that was not overpowering. Flavours meshed well with the wild leeks. Beef tenderloin - A small steak served with truffle pommes, sauteed greens, and roasted carrots. Sounds pretty standard but surprise surprise, the truffle pommes tasted better than the steak! In what crazy world do we live in where the mashed potatoes are better than the meat it's served beside?! The meat was excellent but the potatoes stole the show on this dish. The jus was also amazing. Everything amazing on this climactic dish. Iced tea ice cream - This came with ginger beer pearls and honeycomb shortbread. The ice cream was bitter but the pearls and shortbread made up for it. This was another interesting dish that I thought we would end the night on. But wait, there's more... Goat cheese parfait - There was more food! This was super unique. The texture was creamy and the flavour was mild. When you eat it it's like you know it's goat cheese but it's hidden somewhere in the back. Totally cool mouthfeel and flavour profile. Such a great night of food! Rounding everything out is the wonderful service that we received. There were no designated servers for the table so we were served by many different people who all really knew their stuff well. Everyone is always super friendly and unimposing. I really love the casual atmosphere that puts everyone at ease. [Worth it?] 100x yes! It's not a cheap meal but the innovation, the uniqueness of the food combinations, and the experience are all worth it. I'm smiling just thinking back of the food and this was back in June and I'm also stuffed right now. It's definitely my favourite restaurant for now and for the foreseeable future. read more

If this wasn't the best burger I have ever had, it is in top 3! Even though I ordered online, the presentation was great and the burger came in a good shape. The cheese was perfectly cooked and the burger was seasoned well. The bun was amazing, probably one of the best buns I have ever had. I asked them not to put onions because Im not a fan of onions anyway haha. But I should say, given its location, and the quality of food, this restaurant deserves to get 5 and the only negative point is I'm sure I'll be craving for this burger again later on today Well done Richmond Station! read more
Came in to Richmond station precovid back in early March. I've heard so much about Richmond station and nothing but good things. I came in with really high expectations but everything about this restaurant just blew my mind. The food was top notch and the service was even better than the food. Overall the experience combined was probably one of the best dining experiences in Toronto. Can't wait to go back to check this place out post covid! We did the tasting menu and everything was incredible. Side note: please order ahead of time if doing the tasting menu. We got lucky and was able to order it at the table. Usually you reserve ahead of time. It was such an interesting experience because every ingredient complimented each other so well. Things that I never would have thought to put together in one dish. All the respect goes out to these talented chefs. I can't say there's one particular dish that we liked the most, each was so unique. One thing is for sure, the next time I'm back, definitely trying their famous burger. read more
For my birthday I chose Richmond Station for a tasting menu or as they like to call it "let us cook for you" experience. The dishes are usually served family style but we had a lot of preferences and allergies. They were so accommodating to all our needs which included: a vegan, a nut allergy, a fungi allergy, and a strong aversion to beets. We were treated to six courses! First course - sunchokes and cauliflower (vegan) - well cooked with crispy brown exterior and creamy center and beautifully plated but honestly one of the least memorable courses of the meal. Second course - pork buns - these were one of the specials of the night. Pretty tasty but considering we had done a food tour in Chinatown the day before with some of the best Chinese in Toronto including pork buns, these hardly compared. Third course - roasted carrots (modified vegan) - ah the humble carrot . . . y'all these were THE best carrots I've ever eaten. They were roasty and toasty and sweet and savory with puree (of more carrot) and seeds and tahini and feta (on the side). Just so good I can barely describe them. Fourth course - butternut squash ravioli (vegetarian) - these were a crowd favorite topped with a brown butter sauce and toasted almonds. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the filling was creamy and dreamy. The almonds added the perfect textural contrast. Fifth course - filet - this was accompanied with a parsnip (I think) puree and roasted carrot. I had extra helpings of filet because my counterparts are more of medium-well girls rather than medium-well. Dessert - tea & chocolate (complete with birthday candle) and apple & cheddar (nut-free) - I don't like chocolate very much but the tea "caviar" and meringues were delightful as was the ice cream. The apple and cheddar dish was like a crumble and also very delicious. Who knew those two things went together. I mean I've had them on a charcuterie board but still who knew? Overall a great experience and I'd recommend for a special occasion or just a fancy Wednesday night lol read more

By far the best restaurant I visited in Toronto. Top 5 in the world for me as of this review. Reserve the Chef's Table - you will NOT regret it. The most personal attention, the best show in the house, and wonderful company all around. Call in or swing by in person to reserve because you can't specifically request on Opentable. First off, get the tasting menu if you don't have any dietary restrictions. For me, I have a dairy sensitivity and the kitchen staff accommodated masterfully. I ended up getting the halibut special (flown in from B.C. same day) and the rabbit with the most delicious pork belly I've ever had + fried duck confit. Unbelievable. Mouth watering. Not enough adjectives to describe. Then, since everyone around me was going gaga over the burger, I had to try it and boy was I impressed. Easily the best burger in Toronto. Alice took the ABSOLUTE MOST WONDERFUL care of me - she's definitely earned a spot in my customer service hall of fame. TL;DR Must visit while in Toronto. Or if you're ever planning to travel to Canada for that matter. Fly in and stop at Richmond Station to dine on your way to culinary heaven. read more

Service was very good. Food was ok. Brie was a bit too creamy. Tartare was good. Duck was good. Agnolotti could have used a bit of acid. Chocolate quality was ok. read more

I came here back in 2013 (wow time flies), but haven't been back since. I'm glad to see that Richmond Station has upheld its quality and service over the years. We were celebrating a friend's birthday, and were seated upstairs next to the kitchen. I started with the Blue Hubbard Squash Soup - a perfect fall appetizer. I then went for the Pan-Seared Trout (a daily special). The fish was very tender (perhaps slightly salty), but the side cauliflower was spectacular. I normally get pretty full with just an entree, but portions here are not large. Most importantly, this place has finessed its service. One of the specials listed on the chalkboard was a pork dish for $20. Two people in our party ordered this, marvelling at its value (with most other entrees nearing $30). However, when we all received the bill, the dish was charged for $29. We informed the waiter of the missing tail on the 9 on the chalkboard, simply expecting an acknowledgment of the error and a correction for future guests. To our surprise, the manager came over and discounted the bills to $20. My payment wasn't affected at all, but it was such a nice gesture - one that I will remember for a long time. read more
