    Finally made it here after it being on my list forever. The meal was fantastic and a must try restaurant. We started with the duck liver pate (surprisingly the highlight of the meal) the sweet flavour of the maple compliments the pate so nicely. The second appetizer was the halibut croquettes which were also very good. For mains we had the station burger and the short rib. Both mains were excellent. A great experience and would recommend it to others for a special evening dinner.

    Truly an exceptional Toronto establishment. The culinary and hospitality experience you recieve is unmatched especially at this price point. I've been wanting to try this place and it was as good as I hoped and that's coming from someone who is usually underwhelmed eating out. The chicken fried mushrooms were the highlight for me. It was delicious and unique. The fried brie was also really nice and creative. The burger was very good and you could taste the quality of the ingredients In every dish. The sticky toffee pudding was very decadent but a touch too sweet for my taste and that portion size. Their cocktails are Very nice and generous with a well stocked wine selection. They also employ a no tipping policy which is great for the staff and the customer and the quality of the service was top tier. This place is a wonderful experience that delivers in every aspect.

    My partner and I dined here today for our anniversary dinner and it was amazing. Our server was well versed on the menu and she took care of my dietary restrictions. We went for the burger and lobster macaroni and they were both delicious. The ‘farmers ricotta’ starter and ‘white chocolate tart’ for dessert were also really tasty. I highly recommend this fine dining experience and we look forward to visiting again.

    Great food and atmosphere! Service was phenomenal, we had a lady with a French accent and she was very passionate about the dishes. Burger is probably the best in the city. It would be nice to have a little more variety however I understand their goal is to keep the quality consistent.

    Had amazing dining experience at Richmond Station. The food was thoughtfully prepared using seasonal ingredients and offers amazing flavor. The menu offerings rotate every season and I had the pleasure to try the halibut and the ravioli, both were sensational. The service is impeccable and I really applaud the restaurant's approach of not asking for gratuity (or tips). It's great knowing the food were priced fairly and includes the cost of service. Highly recommend this spot and looking forward to visiting it again!

    Excellent place and an amazing experience to sit at the chef's table and watch the kitchen bustling about (watching the pastry chef was particularly entertaining). Got the Station Burger and it was cooked perfectly, only thing was it was just a touch too sweet - delicious and very different from any other burger I've had. High quality ingredients too. The fries were delicious but overly salted although the saltiness played wonderfully with the dill pickle mayo sauce they came with. Service was excellent and we got some small freebies since I was celebrating an anniversary. No tip pricing is AWESOME. For $60+tax for 2 people, you just cant beat the experience. Maybe Ill come back for the tasting menu one day or come back to try the rabbit dish.

    Great food, Excellent Service! 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. 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 shouldn’t miss 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!

    This was a wonderful eating experience. I suggested it to my boss and we were both thoroughly impressed. The service was very attentive and knowledgeable about each dish, the presentation was very beautiful, and a very wide variety of dishes were served. The pork was outstanding in particular, and they are well known for serving an entirely fresh made burger including in house butchered beef. I was really excited to eat here with a top chef winner running the place, and I was very happy with the experience. Be sure to consider the chef's table if you want to be front and center watching the kitchen operating. We will both be returning again with friends and family.

    the service was amazing! the lady was so patient with our large group (Robyn). Some of the food items were delicious and I wish there were more cocktail options. The station burger was a great choice as well as the chickpea panisse! what was most refreshing was at the end they didn’t expect a tip because it was included in the bill! I really appreciated this!

    So far the best French food experience! The restaurant has included the tips in the bill so no extra tips required! The servers were all super friendly and brought us a great experience. Farmer’s Ricotta: (5/5) the sauce that comes with the bread is amazing, it has so many layers and rich texture. We couldn’t stop eating it!! Duck liver pate: (4/5) a regular duck liver pate, I enjoyed it a lot but it’s not as amazing as the other dishes we got Grass-fed beef tartare: (4/5) also regular beef tartare. The chips that come with the dish is really good. Mushroom salad: (5/5) amazing mix of all different kinds of ingredients! The crunchiness combined with the flavour of mushroom is amazing! Def one of the best salads ever Farms Lamb: (4/5) we were so full after so many side dishes, the lamb was good, and it comes with a special sauce that tastes really good Duck: (5/5) our favourite main course! Everything on that plate were great. Special fish steak: (4/5) the steak was good, just not very special, it’s very soft tho. If you haven’t been, this is a must try French restaurant in Toronto!

    Went for the tasting menu and sat at the chef's table area. Really great service from start to finish. The staff really goes above and beyond for everyone. The kitchen staff was a blast to watch, we went early so it was interesting to see them slowly get more and more busy. The food was mostly great, though there were a few odd pairings but they're changing the tasting menu bi-weekly so there's a fair bit of experimentation going on. The lamb combo was a bit wild, lots of strong competing flavors. The parsnip salad was amazing.

    This place is absolutely amazing - the food is first class, the service is great, the atmosphere is soulful. The duck liver pate 🦆 is mind blowing - the combination with dried strawberry and strawberry sauce is something you must try! The brioche, that accompany the pate, Is delicious itself 😋 the menu changes every 3-4 weeks, so, don't hurry up with the burger - it's been in the menu for 10 years and will not disappear 😉

    Yo Richmond Station! Had a good time eating here and felt appreciated by your staff. Drinks: Ordered the Black Walnut Old Fashioned. I always gravitate towards old fashioned whenever I see it. Not the absolutely best but it does the job. Food: We started with the duck liver pate. We just simply love pate. Richmond Station provided a new experience for us. We haven’t had it with strawberry jam(?) but it went well over the brioche toast. We ordered the Stn Burger and this weekly special item that has bacon wrapped rabbit. We asked for plain but to keep the rest on the side. Hard to review this as my girlfriend prefers plain burgers. She did enjoy it though. Dessert was interesting. I recommend the rhubarb sundae. The earl grey whip cream was simply amazing. It had this rhubarb syrup and sorbet and stacked with these waffle crunch. What the heck is a waffle crunch anyway? Oh well, let’s not think too much and just enjoy good food. Definitely can recommend this place. The pricing isn’t on the cheap side BUT gratuities are not expected. They’re able to pay their employees well, foster a good environment for everyone, and more. I like this so 5/5.

    Great food and fantastic service make Richmond station a must try in Toronto. At first I wasn’t sure if there “gratuity included” idea would still translate to good service, but I was thankfully wrong. All our servers seemed to genuinely love the work and were knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. Food was great, and what you’d expect for a place of this price range. The burger is a must.

    I was blown away by the service we received. I honestly think more places should follow suit in the “gratuity included” style of service. We were helped by 5 different staff and service was all prompt and courteous. Our water was always topped off and side plates and new cutleries was set after every course. This was so much better than trying to wave down the ONE person responsible for your section. The food was amazing and we ordered way too much for two people but it feels amazing supporting a restaurant that pays their staff living wages.

    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!

    I really enjoyed the experience at Richmond Station. They had great food, drinks and service. The rabbit and duck were really good, perfectly seasoned and cooked. I’d highly recommend trying them if you ever visit. They’re also a no-tip establishment - which is ironic as they had much better service than other tipping restaurants in Toronto. The restaurant was a bit dim, but other than that it was a flawless experience. Richmond Station is definitely a restaurant I look forward to visit again in the future.

    My fiance and I were in Toronto on holiday and decided to go out to dinner at Richmond station. We had cocktails, torched mackerel, Gojujang duck wraps, the duo of duck and the suckling pig. Sticky toffee pudding and opera cake for dessert. Everything was delicious. The plating is beautiful. The kitchen is open concept- from one of the dining rooms, you can watch your meal being made. Our server was Oliver. He was very knowledgeable, and professional. I would speak about the decor but the dining room is very low light. All I could say is that it was warm, intimate, and classy. The dining room on the night we visited was quite loud. We really enjoyed our dinner & we will definitely consider Richmond station again.

    I went here to celebrate a special occassion and this was the perfect place to do so. I reserved chef's rail seats so I could watch as they prepared each dish meticulously and was not disappointed by the quality that they put out the entire time I was there. Food was superb along with the presentation of each dish. I was also very pleased with the wine pairings that came with the tasting menu.

    My mother and I came to Richmond Station this past Saturday. I had read so many great reviews about it, and it truly did not disappoint. The food was expertly prepared, and the service was amazingly delivered. We were impressed with every dish we got with the Chef's Tasting Menu. I was so sad when it was over and we had to leave, but I will 100% be back to try more of their food. Kudos to you all, you made our visit a true experience and not just another restaurant outing!

    Took my wife out to Richmond Station this past weekend to celebrate her birthday and we loved the experience. Reservations, food, drinks, service was superb. Due to crazy unpredictable Toronto traffic, we were about 15 minutes late and they were so accommodating as we called in and let them know we would be late. We booked a seat at the Chef's Tasting Table partaking in the Chef's Tasting Menu. It was fun to see the kitchen working, and at times chefs serving you different dishes. Service was amazing, and even surprised us with a few nice touches for my wife's birthday which was so appreciated. Will hopefully be back soon!

    My girlfriend and I went here on our celebratory vacation dinner and WOW!!! I got the swordfish and it blew me out of the water (haha) and my girlfriend loved her (vegan) pasta! The cheesecake was light and the strawberry sauce was balanced and not too acidic. The service was also outstanding! Such kind and friendly staff that made us feel so welcome. The cherry on top was the fact that it is hospitality-based meaning that they pay their staff a fair and livable wage. This was made apparent by the positive atmosphere and upbeat demeanor in every single staff member. We will certainly be back on our next trip to Toronto. So grateful and humbled to have eaten at this restaurant.

    The overall service was great and it was a nice setting for our tasting. The food itself was just average compared to our palette. Underwhelming flavors on most of the course. The empanada on the first amuse was dry. The watercress soup was a mid level dish with 2 out our 4 diners still containing shrimp shells. Definitely not what we expected from a Top Chef winner, but it could have been an off night for the team.

    I was very fortunate to experience Richmond Station's tasting menu for my birthday. My brother and I had reserved the chef's table seating in advance - which directly faced the kitchen's open window. It was a nice treat to see the process behind the meal. Tracy was our server for the majority of the evening, and she was such a delight! Kind, courteous and humored my brother, lol. The tasting menu comes with an optional beverage pairing for an additional fee, but I will say I am delighted we took advantage and added the beverage pairing. I thoroughly enjoyed the tasting menu, with my favorite offerings being the Selection of Canapes and the Dry-Aged Penokean Hills Beef. The canapes were such a fun selection, and a great way to lead into the meal. The dry-aged beef was memorable and delicious. I will say for myself, the highlight of the tasting menu was Linda's enthusiastic descriptions of our paired wines and how its balances with the upcoming course. As someone who is not so familiar with wine, I truly appreciated her knowledge. Richmond Station was an experience I would love to delve into again, and it truly made for a memorable birthday dinner.

    Really enjoyed the tasting menu which changes every two weeks. The service is amazing. The staff is very friendly and engaging. Very comfortable casual seating environment that’s well lit so you can see who you’re eating with and what you’re eating. Love it and can’t wait to come back!

    So glad we tried the tasting menu tonight. Fresh and quality ingredients. We love the duck liver pate with strawberry puree, seared yellowfin tuna, braised chicken terrine, dry aged rib eye with oyster mushroom and the black forest cake the most. Friendly service and non pretentious. Highly recommend this restaurant in the heart of downtown Toronto.

    Recently discovered this gem! All the food was amazing and the service was great! We sat in front of the kitchen and got to see the chefs at work. Very clean environment and will definitely be going back! All meats are butchered in house and the pasta is homemade.

    Loved this place. Booked the chefs table and it was so cool observing the calm and disciplined flow of the kitchen. Food was on point, a few things I'd fault here or there but not major and definitely wouldn't drop a star for. I could eat the brie cheese and toast ever day of my life. Service impeccable, ambience wonderful. I brought my toddler with me and luckily he was on his best behavior, but I also appreciated how much they set up for kids and are not snooty about it at all

    Great food and great service. Waiters were very friendly and certainly knew their stuff. I would like to add that gratuity is included in the menu prices, so while the prices may seem more expensive compared to other places, it is because of this reason. Pictured: bread to start, beef tartare, rabbit saddle, layered dessert.

    Hands down my new favourite restaurant. Very intentional and well thought out menu that changes weekly as well as with the season as they use local, seasonal ingredients. Chef Gordon Ramsay would be super proud 💯 love, love, love this place!! Tip is included into the prices you see. Very fair priced for what you get. Absolutely creative but not complicated meals. One of our orders got mixed up but we didn't even mind. Everything on the menu sounds delicious! I want to try everything! The service is also fantastic. I can't wait to go back!

    I have been to this restaurant on several occasions, with family, on a date, with coworkers and it never disappoints. It's hard to get a reservation for parties larger than 4. I would suggest going there late on a date because during rush hour it is super busy and noisy. The food and the menu are sooo good. I always order something new and it has always been surprisingly rewarding. I have had the best rabbit, best white fish, and top notch burgers at Richmond Station. I like that you can safely and confidently succumb to your curiosity. The portions are a tad on the large size. Most of the dishes are enough for two if you are not too hungry.

    One of my favorites in the city by far. If you can book at the chefs table, I would highly recommend. Last time I was there we had the duck liver pâté, beef tartare, station burger, and Muscovy duck. The food was all flavorful and very fresh. A bit on the pricy side but worth it in the long run as the food is amazing.

    Friday night dinner at Richmond Station was great! Our server was eager to please. The restaurant was buzzing. I tried the English Milk Punch cocktail with an assortment of ingredients among them Earl Grey, Absinthe and Pineapple. Delicious. Lauren and I shared the beef croquettes and halibut cakes to start. Both were enjoyable however the beef croquettes will get the edge in this battle. For our mains, Lauren had the chickpea burger and rosemary fries. The fries are some of the tastiest I’ve ever had. Mine was the salmon with gnocchi and greens. Absolutely perfect! A nice touch was the vegan fudge taster at the end. We also grabbed their vegan brownies to go. Would absolutely return for another meal on our next trip to the City.

    This meal was excellent and enjoyable. I loved everything we ordered. My only complaint is I was not given a spoon with the tomato salad so I could not get all the beautiful broth. A nice and relaxing environment. Service was good. Tables are close enough to eavesdrop on conversations but not so tight that you can’t enjoy your party’s company. Noise level was friendly but maybe not great for people with hearing loss.

    Went for the winter tasting menu at the chef’s table and had such a memorable experience. The atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and modern. The bar seating facing the kitchen made for an entertaining meal as we received very attentive service throughout the night. Each dish was better than the last. Would highly recommend!

    Best beef tartare ever! Their house made charcuterie was delicious. I enjoyed a duck confit salad for my main which was super tasty. Overall food was excellent. You feast with your eyes and your stomachs at this place. Everything is presented so immaculately. Service was incredible as well. Obvious to see why they are successful. Definitely a must try restaurant in Toronto. We went a la carte tonight, but would be curious to try the tasting menu next time.

  • 3/5 I am K. 6 months ago on Google
    Went there for my birthday and didn't feel all that special because it felt very rushed. Finished dinner in less than an hour. It was amazing that we got greated immediately once we sat down along with drinks but everything felt rushed. Pretty much had less than five minutes to go over the menu and order. Yes, I could have asked the server to come back... I could appreciate my finished dishes taken away but not when it was so immediate barely seconds after putting the cutlery down and the next dish was served within a minute after. I barely finished chewing the app and the main was there. I don't like eating cold food so of course I just continued eating. Perhaps it's a Toronto, large city thing? The table next to us was empty the whole time so I wouldn't call it too busy. We had a dinner reservation so it just felt so weird.. a bit disappointed.. One can call it "very attentive stellar quick service" for people who's in a rush between work. I just felt like wow, hmm ok now where should we go next? dessert somewhere else? (I don't even love dessert, I just had the feeling "wait that's it?") I probably shouldn't have come on my birthday...hence 3 stars .... good for any super busy- when you have no time to eat kind of day. Then it probably would have been 4 stars perhaps. Limited options when you have food sensitivities. (dairy free/gluten free) Had the duck lettuce wraps as an appetizer - great Korean fusion flavours (contains butter) Fried and grilled organic chicken meal: top notch flavours. They really thought this plate through with every detail. the dill and mint made the flavours pop. (this contained buttermilk) Vegan option (I eat Paleo not vegan but I chose this dish to be safe): Grilled Teriyaki Eggplant with napa was very tasty but I wish they took off the burnt char skin on the bottom so I did not have to the work. Perhaps some people might like burnt charcoal food but not when all you taste is the char killing the pallet. I didn't notice until I had the first bite because it was on the bottom. I was glad it was fairly simple to remove the completely black parts without it interfering with the rest of the eggplant so it tasted great after realizing I had to remove the bottom layer. I didn't eat the fried onion fritter because I forgot it was indeed gluten free, so cannot comment. gratuity included in menu pricing didn't bother to try dessert even though they did have one paleo option (their coconut cream pudding). Just had a tea because there was literally no wait time in between eating apps +mains so I felt like I needed time to just breathe and digest a bit before walking out. The fudge was tasty at the end which was cool to know the lovely server made it. I am not used to eating sugar so that woke me up! Overall, Service was excellent. I like how the back of the house works the front as well. Loved how passionate the server was. Food tasted amazing. It almost felt like the most flavourful gourmet food in fine dining setting but definitely quick in-and -out service. undecided about this place now.

    This was my second time ordering takeout from Richmond Station. On both occasions the food has been excellent - Junior Stn. Burger, Stn Burger and Quinoa salad were delicious. The staff are really friendly and have a good knowledge of what they're serving. Very reasonably priced considering gratuities are included. I think now more than ever it's important to support local restaurants where possible. Will definitely be back!

    By far the best restaurant in town!!! I always go there w/ my family and we can't be happier when we eat there. The food is extraordinary, the location is pretty good ( near the city center ), the staff is corteous, the whole thing is amazing. The appetizers are tasty, the mains are exceptional and the desserts are indulgent. It's a pricy restaurant, but it is totally worth it, if you want to eat fine delicious food it is definitely the place to go to!

  • 5/5 Sondra V. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious food! I had the cherry tomato salad as a starter and the curried scallops as a main. Wonderful. My husband had the cucumber salad as a starter and the lamb as a main. Also delish! We shared a zucchini cake for dessert (picture) which they decorated for us.

  • 5/5 Erica L. 3 years ago on Google
    The chickpea and leek burger was a total taste sensation, the flavours of the mayo and the chutney along with a crispy texture in the burger was exceptional. Hopefully this covid nightmare will soon be over so we can come downtown and watch the master chefs in action and try a little bit of everything like we usually do at the chef’s table. recommend

    Good service, good drinks, however the food wasn't up to par i ordered both the meat and cheese board had very little selection not worth 40$ , steak was good however i sent it back to the kitchen as it was not well done it came back and still was pink inside the best thing were the chip fries . Probably wont be coming back.

    A sublime and memorable tasting menu dinner experience. My party and I were fortunate enough to be seated in the semi private dining room, perfect for a group or 12. We were delighted with various tasting plates, all carefully crafted. Service was top notch with great attention to detail presented in a professional yet casual manner. Well worth the experience!!!

    Easily has become one of my favorite Toronto restaurants. From the small storefront to the moment you walk in to realize it goes deep in and with two different seating areas...it changes the atmosphere as well. The staff here are great, responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. The kitchen team..outstanding. It is on the pricier side but the care and selection of the dishes are well thought out. With the tasting menu and at the chefs table..it was the best way to understand the food and see the work behind it. The food is absolutely delicious with a lot of flavors and textures (the most important part I found which made them stand out more). They were also very accommodating with allergies and courteous about it.

    Fantastic. I’ve been here countless times before and during covid. Their food is always great. The burger is great but I also do Suggest you try other items as well such as the meatball. Overall this place has a great vibe, and one of the most consistent amazing service. Every single time I have been here, I felt fantastic.

    This was my second time ordering a takeout from Richmond Station and it did not disappoint. My partner ordered the Station Burger and I ordered the kale and brussel sprouts salad and we also got some chunky chips as a side. My partner was pleased with the burger, but he found the quantity of the burger to be lacking and not justifying its price tag of $17 (especially considering it did not come with a side). I enjoyed the kale and brussel sprouts salad; the dressing was light and had a slight sweet note, which went really well with the bitterness from the vegetables and the salty ham. With that said, I wish they could have substituted ham for prosciutto (even if it means increasing the price tag) and added more acidity to the dressing to make the salad more balanced. The chunky chips were good and went well with the dipping sauce, though I wouldn't have said no to a bigger portion for the dipping sauce. Overall, everything was good and tasted fresh even though it was a takeout. I'd be happy to order from here again and try other items on their menu.

    Food is unique and modern. The waiters and waitresses are excellent. the atmosphere. amazing. The only problem is to keep the same quality is not always possible for restaurants like this. I hope they always have the same quality. I would suggest not to eat meat all the time.

    By far our favourite restaurant in the city! And I love that they adopted a no tipping policy! My fav dish is either the burger or the duck or the venison! Can’t say enough good things about this place, you have to see for yourself!

    My sister and I came to celebrate my big 30th here. It was a good experience. The service from the waitstaff was great. The food was amazing. The atmosphere was pleasant and inviting. Only hick up, the hostess took FOREVER to seat my sister and I. Despite plenty of empty seating available in the front, she made several phone calls before choosing to seat us. No one else waited as long as we did and I called ahead to make sure walk ins were accommodated. I’m not sure why we were treated differently but it did leave a sour taste in our mouthes that even delicious duck 2 ways could not erase. We appreciated the fantastic food and hope our next trip will be better.

    My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Richmond Station - upon arrival for our reservation, we were quickly seated and our server was very helpful in explaining the menu. I ordered the Station Burger which was highly recommended by my colleague, while my wife ordered the Pierogies. We both loved the food! Although the restaurant was pricey, the service and quality was worth it. Will go again for another special occasion!

  • 5/5 Josh T. 2 years ago on Google
    Best in Toronto! The staff are wonderful and attentive while the patio menu is accessible with comfortable offerings like a burger so dinner here does not have to be something that is intimidating. However, as we were celebrating, we opted for the seasonal tasting menu. In doing so, we completely entrusted our evening to the team; we were so glad we did! Each course was absolutely gorgeous to experience with the senses and the photos hardly do the dishes justice. We loved that the components in each dish demonstrated thoughtful consideration to bring a balanced interplay of acidity, texture, and flavour profiles. The pace and rhythm throughout was perfect and at no time did we feel rushed or wanting. Though they had an extensive wine list, we opted for a cocktail. In this case an intriguing Clarified English Milk Punch. This is the perfect kind of drink to order as it is something we would never be able to make at home (look it up... it is so much work). It was delicious from the first intense sip to the last drops. I was extremely pleased to find that the dilution from the ice did not leave the last bit of the drink a sad watery affair as most iced drinks can become. This is the second time that I have come to this restaurant with my wife. We wanted to celebrate our wedding anniversary with something special. Indeed, we were not disappointed and we are already looking forward to the next time we are back!

    Very good service today! I had the chefs tasting menu with the wine pairings. I really enjoyed the salmon crudo and the selection of wines, the first course I can't remember the name were all superstars including the oyster. It would have gotten a higher rating if the steak was not so chewy as I usually prefer medium well. The squash cake (in my own opinion) was just very bitter tasting mixed with squash for a dessert option, I simply could not complete it which was unfortunate as I love desserts. Other than that it was a lovely experience! The wine server was extremely knowledgeable which we enjoyed , except unfortunately covid mask made it a tiny bit difficult to hear him, which of course is no fault of his own. I'll definitely be looking up some of the wine selections bottles at lcbo! Thanks for a wonderful first time visit

  • 4/5 Ryan L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great dining experience. We ordered the liver parfait which was decadent and flavourful and scallop crudo which was buttery and sweet. The halibut was a bit dry however the chanterelle chicken sauce they poured over it was really delicious and the charred lettuce was a good compliment to the dish. The burger is one of the best in the city cooked med rare. The servers are very attentive and overall a great dining experience.

  • 4/5 Sean S. 2 years ago on Google
    Reflecting service in a rating is difficult. A large group with a late sitting can experience a longer dinner than desirable. In this instance a 4.5 star rating would be appropriate as Richmond Station's reputation for sensational food is well deserved and outshines any modest delays. Cod, Steak Tartare, Steak , Duck Pate on Brioche - all shone through. A revisit of both restaurant and review must take place

    Excellent foods and services. Highly recommended their chef’s menu, lots of variety of dishes with special and delicious taste and perfectly matched with unique sauces. A great experience of whole dinner, good arrangement of all dishes order and excellent foods quality. Staffs are excellent, attention to all details and your needs. Everything is good, just try to book earlier as they are quit full.

    Always a great attention to detail of flavour and presentation at Richmond Station. Service is great as well, though I think the staff are more attentive inside rather than the patio.

  • 5/5 jennifer l. 2 years ago on Google
    Every single time I come it's great service, exceptional food, and just an amazing, spot-on, 10/10 experience. We recently did the chef's tasting menu - smashing is one way to put it. A definite home run. I've not had my tastebuds be that excited for a very very long time... My partner and I were just taken for a ride from light and whimsical to the peak of salty and substantial. For $105 each, I think it was fair.. Especially since this is a hospitality included restaurant. Coat check service was complimentary, we were given fudge to end the meal.. so many over the top, exceptional things. From just a burger, to a tasting menu.. I think we'll be back for different things, different events and celebrations.

  • 5/5 Olya G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service and good food. Possibly, one the most delicious burgers I've ever had. Unfortunately, if you want a tasting menu, everyone at your table has to order one so we ended up ordering from a regular menu.

  • 5/5 Paola G. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely DECADENT. We had the baby gem salad, oysters and Comte ravioli (I forget the name) and it was just incredible. We've had the delicious burger in the past, best in the city, and their desserts are just fantastic. We hope the pasta stays in the menu, most delicious we've had in some time. Absolutely recommended.

  • 5/5 nilusha t. 1 year ago on Google
    We showed up 1 hr late due to dt traffic and the hostess and service team were sooo accommodating and understanding and we got a private dining for our meal. Drinks were lovely, our server Amanda was attentive but discreet and just great. We selected the 6 course tasting menu which was quite affordable ($110 per person).every single dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. That bread was to die for! Richmond Station is a hospitality restaurant meaning the prices on the menu included the service fee. It such a great idea, one less thing to think about. Our whole experience from start to finish was just lovely.

  • 5/5 Babak T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place, very different menu appetizers/main/dessert/cocktail with beautiful Garnish - which changes every month - one of the best burgers in the town! The staff are so friendly and cool- we had a great time there- definitely repeat it! Strongly recommend it!!!

  • 5/5 Taner A. 1 year ago on Google
    I always heard about Richmond Station being one of Toronto’s must try. I finally decided to go and was impressed. The service was impeccable, the dishes were exquisite, I also enjoyed the cocktails and beer selection they had. Oh and tip is included! You don’t need to worry about +18% at the end… Great for groups or dates or even solo, the seating setting is nicely done. I would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Michael L. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great time here. Made our own tasting menu instead of the set one... Turned out to be the right choice as we saw the testing menu being served to the couple next to us. Nice flavor combinations. All dishes were great.

  • 5/5 Wenqing H. 9 months ago on Google
    Very impressive experience of the 5-couse tasting menu with Richmond Station. The duck liver plat in the canapés is really my favourite. The dry aged beef with foamed mushroom js the highlight, very juicy and perfectly cooked. The forest cake is a bit plain. They do change the menu frequently so you’ll walk in with a total new experience! I love the intimate open kitchen atmosphere

  • 5/5 Jenny T. 8 months ago on Google
    We had a wonderful meal and the food was amazing! The service was a bit over attending but they are very nice. They don’t want you to pay them tips but you can if you like. Reasonable priced just wished we had a larger table especially when we went it was not busy.

  • 5/5 Bayli 6 months ago on Google
    Randomly stopped here while walking around downtown at 5 and was seated right away but I could tell they would've preferred me to have a reservation. Regardless the service was great and the staff was accommodating. I will be dreaming of the beef tartar for months to come it was absolutely delicious. The burger was pretty goo too, fresh bread for the bun. Will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Connie C. 9 months ago on Google
    This place really deserves more recognition than it has, although maybe I shouldn’t say that because it would be harder to get reservations! We did the chefs tasting menu and it was excellent. They had seasonal produce from their farm, well balanced portions. I came away full but not stuffed. All the meats were perfectly cooked. I appreciate that it’s service included especially now that restaurants are demanding so much in tips, it’s nice to not have to worry about tipping. There’s no compromise to the service either, as places were cleaned promptly and they brought new napkins when people stood up to use the washroom.
