The food at Richmond Station is really good, but not quite as inventive as in the early days. Oyster mushroom were fried perfectly, but the menu didn't mention the hot peppers in the dish, which we really dislike. Duck liver pâté was excellent, plenty for one person, not quite enough to share. The standout dish was dessert: a sunchoke millefeuilles that was original and absolutely delicious. Williams' attentive service was much appreciated as is the no tipping policy. How refreshing!

I popped in for lunch on a Monday based off of Google Review’s. Richmond Station was just as described, incredibly elevated food with a classy, easy and inviting atmosphere. I ordered the parsnip soup and crispy duck salad. Mic drop on the soup, grounded but light and the anjour pear was the perfect finish. Cashews were folded in the flavorful pieces of crispy duck and played king of the hill atop the most exciting bed of raw and pickled vegetables. I sat next to a woman that just came in for a beautiful plate of pastries. We noticed each other taking photos, and said hello with our eyes and slight bow of our heads. When she left she said “enjoy” I think she knew that I was and so did she. What a perfect encounter. Thank you for having me and sharing your love and craft of food with me.

Great experience 👍 service is topnotch (many thanks to Williams and team), the atmosphere is cool and welcoming, and most importantly, the food is delicious! Fun fact, tips are already included in the price of the food/beverages, which makes things much easier. I appreciate that latter touch.

I don’t know why this restaurant gets so many great reviews. There’s nothing bad about it, other than it’s over hyped, but it’s just an average restaurant. There’s nothing special here to warrant a five star review.

Excellent menu, great atmosphere and fantastic staff
A fabulous restaurant with a really warming feel. Polite, knowledgeable and attentive staff, good menu options and fantastic food. Wonderful atmosphere generated as a result and busy so make sure to book

Richmond Station delivers exactly what you want from a great night out: excellent food and genuinely warm service. The duck liver pâté and beef tartare were standout starters - rich, balanced, and a perfect way to kick off the evening. The burger was cooked to perfection, packed with flavor, and paired beautifully with crispy French fries. A consistently solid spot that never disappoints.

Exceptionally friendly atmosphere, professional and engaging service and outstanding cuisine with an emphasis on seasonal and local. Great wine selection with some particularly interesting Ontario vintages. The whole dining experience here was a delight from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Richmond Station delivers an outstanding dining experience. The burger is absolutely delicious, easily one of the best I’ve had, and the fries come with a perfectly balanced, creamy mayonnaise that elevates the dish even more. The steak was cooked to perfection, full of flavor and beautifully executed. I also had the mushroom soup as a starter, which was rich, comforting, and incredibly tasty. Overall, the food was flawless — a solid 10/10. Highly recommended.

Our son and his wife got married at Richmond Station. Everything was top shelf, yet so relaxed and easy! The food was mostly appetizers and extremely varied....we definitely got full! My favorite was the seafood bar....until they put out the roast pork and started making super yummy rice/pork/raisin/hoisin lettuce wraps: then THAT was my favorite. The desserts, as well as the cake bar, was over the top....which is what my tummy did over my belt afterwards. The staff was lovely and engaging.
I also really appreciated that there were designated Male/Female washrooms.
Highly recommended!!

Fabulous meal, we all really enjoyed our food. Clearly on the Michelin track but prices are currently low. I love the service included concept too. Highly recommend.

We had an incredible experience at Richmond Station! Every dish was exceptional — the salad was fresh and flavorful, the beef tartare and baked brie were absolutely delicious, and the duck and shrimp fettuccine were both cooked to perfection.

The espresso martini was one of the best I’ve had, and all of their house drinks were creative and well-balanced. We finished with the s’mores dessert, which was the perfect sweet ending.

But what really made the night unforgettable was the service — truly the best I’ve ever received. Every staff member interacts with guests, and you can tell they genuinely care about making your experience special. Warm, welcoming, and perfectly attentive from start to finish.

Richmond Station is easily one of the best dining experiences in the city. We’ll definitely be back!

Seemed to be well-revised and busy so i had to wait, but the menu was very limited beyond burgers, and the food was lukewarm and nothing special.

I was in Toronto on a business trip, had a few hours free at lunch time and decided to treat myself at Richmond Station. I asked for a table in a quiet spot. They let me sit by the window so I could watch people pass by while I relaxed.

I ordered a lighter thing: a seasonal salad to start, then a fish dish that was on special. It came beautifully plated — you could tell that someone in the kitchen took pride in the look as much as the taste. The fish was flaky and fresh, accompanied by vegetables that weren’t overcooked. The salad had good seasonal greens, a sharp dressing that cut through nicely.

The service was excellent. My water was refilled without me asking, the server checked in to see how the food was, made small but kind suggestions for dessert or coffee. I had a cup of coffee at the end and just lingered a bit, enjoying that calm moment in the middle of a busy day.

I left feeling glad I treated myself. Sometimes when you’re alone, it’s nice to have a place where the food, the service, and the ambiance all feel like they’re working together to make you feel good. Richmond Station did that.

The Chef's Table is definitely a not to be missed dining experience if you appreciate innovative, fresh, perfectly executed dishes and wine pairings. Linda is such an exceptional sommelier, she also pairs non-alcoholic drinks with the same acumen. The staff are all talented and prepare each dish as a work of art from the heart.
Reservations are recommended.

The place feels welcoming from the moment you walk in. The food is consistently tasty, and the service is excellent. Such a reliable restaurant.

This was, without exaggeration, the best meal of my life.
We celebrated our wedding anniversary with the tasting menu and drink pairing on the Chefs Table. and it was an absolute explosion of flavours. I felt just like Remy from Ratatouille, combining everything on my palate and realizing how perfectly it all made sense together.
The restaurant truly deserve a Michelin star, every award, and every possible recognition.
I can’t wait to come back.

Delightful night out at brilliant restaurant.. Nothing to fault really. Food, staff, wine, service all excellent. We had the chef tasting menu and paired wines. The food is delicious and there is enough food that you don't leave hungry. The standouts for me was the 72 hour cooked beef and the melon sorbet. The wines are thoughtfully matched and compliment the food nicely. It's a mix of local and imported wine. The sommelier was both informative and knowledgeable.

It was Saturday night in the restaurant was full which is an indicator to the quality.

We sat in front of the kitchen which is always entertaining to watch.

We visited this restaurant 3 times in our 8 day stay! It is one of the reasons we love coming to Toronto. The food is amazing. Your staff are amazing. The atmosphere generated is lively and welcoming. On one of the nights we had the taster menu and loved it! A great variety of dishes and we managed to get all the way through to dessert!
The mushroom starter is delicious and the tomato salad is a winner!
We will be back, well done to everyone for being brilliant. Special mention to Jade and Emily who were so bubbly and enthusiastic when serving our food! And our last dessert still makes me smile!

Service was excellent, fast and attentive, and hospitality was included in the prices. Prices were not too bad considering tips were built in. Overall, food was good but not great. Had the beef tartar which was good with crispy potatoes. Arctic char was good with corn succotash, perhaps needed some crispy things. Chocolate tart had good flavor, but perhaps too much gelatin.

Excellent food and service. Great value too as the quality was exceptional. I would highly recommend the tasting menu.

What a spectacular experience overall. The food was amazing and well presented. Great variety of food. Server was amazing and attentive to our needs. The dessert was spectacular because who would have thought lemon sponge, coconut Chantilly, blueberry jam and basil sorbet could taste so good. Mind bogglingly good conclusion to an extraordinarily good meal. We will be back!!!!!

We can to Richmond Station for a meal as part of our honeymoon. Really good food, plenty to choose from on the menu.

Staff were really friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back!

Some reviewers have mention being a bit close to other tables. This is the case, but it’s not offensively close, perhaps a little closer than I would normally prefer.

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.
