About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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 and 2024 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.

    Went for a special dinner for dad-in-law’s birthday. The food was absolutely delicious. I went for the spring menu is fresh and delicious from the appy to dessert. The rest of the party got the staples, risotto, pork chop and steak, all perfect.

    Loved it. Food was amazing. My husband could not stop talking about the burger. My beef wellington was perfect. Tiny cafe. Not much parking. Reservation is highly recommended. Live music on certain days.

    We chose the patio. The service is very good. The waiter is always there to help you add water and to ask if you need anything else. The food was delicious too, especially the Wellington steak, which wowed me. Serendipity - killing me softly- chocolate lava cake! The name is very interesting and the taste is delicious! Nice experience

    We managed to send a full water glass flying off the table. It shattered into a million pieces. The staff were amazingly kind snd efficient in sweeping and moping up the mess. So - wonderful service, reliably good food and there was an excellent musician/singer playing some of our favorite songs. If they kept it slightly warmer during the cool weather, we’d be totally happy!
