The Story Café started with an idea that “there is a story in everything." We love coffee, music, food, and anything that can create or bring back a story such as an antique, vintage camera or a memorable music record. So in 2018, we began to think of an idea which would combine all the elements of things we loves into one restaurant.

We believe that nothing is useless. Therefore, as far as your eyes can see, all the decorations have their own stories and tales, they have been handpicked and gathered from all over BC. We hope you will feel like you are in a different century and a different time where the arts would thrive and generate amazing stories as you dine and enjoy the antique décor.

Throughout the week we have music nights that are dedicated to showcasing different musical genres and different talented musicians to give you entertainment and give back to the community in our own way.

The Story café invites you to join us and become part of our story.

The place had great decor with the old sports car out front and the old books and radio and other antique things on shelves. The old music in the background was easy listening. The food was excellent with neat plate presentation. Good service. I will visit again when in Richmond.

Great tasting food and cool ambiance !! Let’s get that straight. But service was horrible and I’ve never seen such expensive drinks! The happy hour food menu was priced alright but not the best for happy hour in our experience of other places. A bottle of $16 Henkel Prosecco was $45 there!!!! I’ve seen a lot of drink menus and I’ve never seen a markup THAT high before haha! It was laughable. For service, we literally had to ask our server EVERY time we needed her, including taking our order. It’s not a very big place and lots of people left after we sat down, so I didn’t understand the lack of service. Even when she’d walk by, she wouldn’t give eye contact so I couldn’t wave her over. The service was the most frustrating part but the food was amazing!

Celebrated our 2 friends birthdays and the place was busy. I recommend getting reservations. The staff was friendly and attentive. They have quite a wide range of delicious entrees. I had the spicy chicken burger with fries and latte. I asked on the reservation comment using open table if we could have a slice of cake and candle for the celebrants and they accommodated my requests. The ambience and decor was top notch and overall the value for the food and drinks that we spent was well worth it. I’d definitely recommend this restaurant for their delicious food and top notch service. Kudos to our server for being so friendly and accomodating.

It would be nice if the soups can be a bit hotter. I believe pre warming the soup plates would help. Beef Wellington was a bit overcooked. Supposed to be medium rare but more like medium well. Sable dish was good.

Fantastic all around! The service was attentive and the linguine carbonara was easily the best pasta I have ever had. Everything was incredibly flavourful and well worth the price. Be aware during performance nights that the volume can get quite loud and it may become difficult to hear each other

Our hotel recommended this little Cafe last week when we arrived in Vancouver. It is so good, we have gone 3 times in 8 days. Happy hr is amazing and the lobster prawn meal with gnocchi absolutely delicious. I only wish we lived in this area, as we would make it our regular dining spot.

Overall experience was really good. Service was great to ensure that we didn’t get rained on and to ensure we are comfortable and warm. We just wish that the patio cover (on the side) would actually block out the wind and rain. The cover was more of less for privacy only.

Wow, what a great find in this neighbourhood. We were stating at the River Rock casino nearby for one night before our flight and we were underwhelmed with the dining options at the casino. Someone recommended the Story which is a three-minute walk. The food was amazing, we both had the best salmon tartare ever, I had the beef wellington and my wife had the lobster gnocchi with a full lobster tail. Would definitely recommend.

A great place overall. Service was good. Did not like my brunch choice this time which was the pulled pork on French toast. Pork was fine, French toast was very bland so overall food was unsatisfying this time.

I found overall foods are too pricey to go back. I won't order again that shrimp and scallop for sure. I like the duck dish but Burger was average for the price range. The servers were nice but not impressive. The interior was not stunning but comfortable with little space. I was there for my birthday but not my favorite birthday experience there for sure.

The live entertainment and heated patio seating created an enjoyable vibe. Overall food was good and well presented. Sufficient portion for the price. The crepe Suzette has room for improvement as the grand marnier sauce was over power by the flambéed alcohol. There is no trace of orange or it’s juice. Will go back again.
