Richmond Station is a stopping place—a bustling neighbourhood restaurant in Toronto's downtown core. We are committed to delicious food and excellent hospitality. Founded by Top Chef Canada winner Carl Heinrich, Richmond Station is an ingredient-focused and technique-driven neighbourhood restaurant steps from the Eaton Centre and Yonge-Dundas Square. Our open kitchen invites guests to witness the craftsmanship that goes into every plate, from our signature Station Burger to our rotating chef's tasting menu. Whether you're joining us for a casual lunch, an intimate dinner, or a celebratory gathering, Richmond Station offers a warm atmosphere that makes all feel welcome. We believe that exceptional service is an integral part of our dining experience, which is why we operate with a "hospitality included" model. This means that gratuities are not accepted, as the service cost is already reflected in our pricing. For parties of 8 or more, please email reservations@richmondstation.ca.

    Came for Valentine's dinner. We were made aware of another reservation made at our table after our dinner but the manager said they'd try to move things around if they could. They did and we were not asked to finish up which was really appreciated. Dennis was our server and he did a great job of taking care of us. I would certainly return to try other items on their menu.

    We are frequent guests at the diner. We are always greeted in a friendly manner by all hostesses. They remember us and call us by name. We enjoy any of the dishes that we order and feel that the servings are plentiful and the price ver reasonable.

    Supberb lunch. Simply excellent food. Unobtrusive service. Not noisy at all. The design of the place is pleasant, though it seems uncertain just what it wants to project. A lounge? Casual meets formal? There's an underlying calculated sterility to it, as though the design has been used and copied from elsewhere. Still, a lovely and memorable lunch.

    We love the Chef’s Tasting menu at Richmond Station! We have treated ourselves by celebrating our anniversary here every year since they opened. It’s a busy spot but the personal attention from the moment you walk in is wonderful. Everyone who attends at the table is so knowledgable about what they are putting in front of you, the attention to detail is awesome. Service is excellent, so attentive and personable but not intrusive. We absolutely support Richmond Station’s no tip model where their pricing includes the ability to pay a fair living wage to servers. The vibe is great, the room is alive, the open kitchen is amazing to watch, but you never struggle to share conversation at your table. We love it and so should you!!
