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.

    Food was great, especially the bone-in pork chop, thick and tasty. just the right bite. Service was great, kept our hot waters refilled a few times through our stay.

    This is my favourite restaurant. I'm so glad I found it. The service is outstanding and the food is even better. Very professional service. Make a reservation. The beef bites are to die for. The crime brulée is unbelievable. I was here for my anniversary.

    This might be our new go to restaurant for pre-airport meals. My wife and I splite the Beef Carpaccio for our appetizer and had the Lobster Gnocchi and the Creamy Truffle Mushroom Gemelli for our mains. Everything tasted great. My only disappointment was that they didn't have Diet Coke (but they did have Coke Zero). We're looking forward to returning to try out some of the other items on the menu.

    Service and food were fabulous. Tables were crowded together, and the noise level made intimate conversation very difficult. Was put off by other patrons having pets in the adjacent patio area that insisted on barking. We will go back but might choose a different time or day so it is not so busy.

    We adore this restaurant! We try and visit every time we come to Vancouver for a visit. The food is fantastic and the people are friendly. Just be sure to make a reservation, as it is a very popular place. *The Carbonara is one of the best this side of Italy!
