Richmond Station - Toronto, Ontario

Richmond Station delivers an exceptional dining experience with delicious food and impeccable dish presentation, which I rate a 10. The restaurant offers a good wine selection and features a special every day, adding variety to each visit. A delightful touch is the small chocolate they give you with the check. During ... our visit, I had the duck, which was cooked perfectly, while my wife had the suckling pig and absolutely loved it. For an appetizer, we tried the crudo, which was fresh and flavorful, though I wished it had been a bit spicier. Overall, Richmond Station provided a great dining experience with outstanding food, presentation, and service. Read more

So good! Was looking for a special tasting menu experience and this was it! I looked through all options in Toronto and Richmond Station stood out for a locally sourced menu at a reasonable price for a fine dining experience with service included. I’m happy to say the experience lived ... up to expectations - it was fantastic! And the Chef’s Table was the best for ‘dinner and a show’ if you are looking for more than just a conversation with the person/people you go with. The staff made for a special experience and had recommendations for other places to explore in the area. Highly recommend for a special occasion! Read more

I haven’t been here in over 8 years, and finally came back and they didn’t disappoint. Service was impeccable and made for a beautiful dining experience. Everything was delicious! -fried Japanese mushrooms -anchovy salad -roast chicken Sounds simple, but way more elevated than the descriptors I’m giving.

The presentation was pretty great. Eating with your eyes is perfectly valid, but I generally place much more value on the experience from eating with my mouth. In that regard, the food was overall just okay. I liked the beef tartare the best, while the burger and suckling pig mains ... were not great. The flavors were fine, but the textures of the meats could have definitely been better. Taking the great reviews and prices into account, I was quite disappointed. The staff were all very nice, but maybe too nice. Explaining every single ingredient in every single dish felt a bit excessive. Service speed was okay, but it felt just a little slower than I would have liked. They were definitely doing their best, but the problem is that the place was just too packed. This also meant that having a conversation just across the table was less than comfortable because the atmosphere was a bit loud. The staff make extremely efficient use of all possible walking space, even between tables, so it felt like I couldn't place my bag anywhere other than between my legs. Read more

This place is so consistently good which I really value. It's always a great experience with well crafted plates and great service. Price point is so good and I support this restaurant's philosophy around tipping. I always recommend this place to others and I try my best to go here ... with every Toronto visit. Last visit was for a reunion of friends who were all impressed and prior was a tasting menu with a friend at the eating bar with a view of the kitchen. Nicely done! Read more
