The origin of The Story Café emerged from the mantra “There is a story in everything”
So in 2018 when we fell upon a 30 year old warehouse, we saw the potential to transform the abandoned space into a warm, hospitable, unique eatery. Through consistent innovation, research and dedication we managed to blend our affinity for coffee, music, food and antique into a ambient mélange of vintage and nostalgia. Today, we proudly present our eatery to newcomers and are considered a staple in the Richmond community!

We are excited to share with you that our restaurant has been voted for the OpenTable Diners’ Choice 2023 award for multiple categories in Vancouver! This prestigious award is a testament to our commitment to providing exceptional dining experiences and top-notch service to our customers.

    Food was excellent, dinner service was top notch. Only issue was the hostess who insisted on giving us the worst table in the restaurant, when others were readily available.

    We had the seafood platter for 2, organic green salad and beef Wellington. All were outstanding. Despite email confirmation for 1:45 h seating, we were informed when we arrived that we could have the table for 1:20 h. Felt rushed since it takes 35 minutes to prepare beef Wellington and no time for dessert. Followed up with the restaurant who informed me to call directly next time if I want the regular seating duration to be honoured.

    Went for a birthday date. As always, the food and service were excellent. We had the Lasagna and Lobster Gnocchi and both were amazing! The desserts are great and perfect for sharing! Best of all, they allow dogs on their fully covered and heated patio!
