River Road Cafe - Richmond, British Columbia

Cassava fries are tasty! Came here and ordered the mini cheese Coxinhas and the Feijoada. We sat in for our meal which takes a bit of time as they make it fresh. The staff was very friendly in explaining what was on the dish and how to eat what condiment with ... what. The few Cassava fries you get with the Feijoada were really delicious. They had just the right amount of sweetness … better than yam fries. They were really great in offering us if we needed extra rice or collared greens. I, personally, wasn’t a fan of the collared greens finding them bitter but that’s probably because I’m not used to them. The stew itself was delicious and you get plenty of it. I’ve had Coxinhas before in the US and these were just as tasty. I prefer the mini size because I find them to be rich so the bite size makes it not such a heavy snack. I would’ve gotten a Pastel but I just didn’t have the room! Read more

River Road is a very nice small Brazilian restaurant located at a kind of remote area of Richmond. The restaurant has the same vibe as family owned restaurants in Brazil, very chill. I’ve tried most of their snacks and they are really good. I really love their esfihas, and French ... bread which are hard to find. They also sell a variety of frozen snacks that are just as good.

Delicious for a first timer like me to try Brazilian food. Beef and Cheese Pastel is one of my favorite and the 3 sampler snacks (3rd photo) he let us try which I forgot the name (chicken filling, beef filling and cheese filling), all yummy. Must try!

Don’t go on a rush, they take their time. Slow down and appreciate the delicious food they prepare with lots of care. The best feijoada (Brazilian beans stew) and pastel in Vancouver / Metro Vancouver.

A thank you to Roggerio for introducing this cafe/diner. A low key place with friendly staff. I had a great breakfast that started off with a ground beef pastel, thin steak and onions, sausage & eggs breakfast and the owner threw in his house special bean stew for me to ... try. Everything was yummy and they sell other products there. Cheese balls and mini churros I baked at home and their pickled chillis are all really good as well. Thank you to the owner for giving me a sample of the house special bean stew. It was really good and it was a generous size. I will definitely be visiting again. Read more
