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.

    We were sitting in the enclosed outdoor patio seating when it began to rain. We unfortunately were also getting wet as the outside facing "wall" is mesh. The restaurant was only to happy to move us away from there, still on the patio and it was warm with all the outdoor heating. The food & service were very good and would certainly to again. We were celebrating a birthday and everything went well.

    Went here for my birthday dinner and ordered the French Onion soup, a salad, mushroom burger and finally the tomahawk steak. Everything was delicious; the tomahawk was cooked perfectly! Had a wonderful evening!

    Had to send a meal back to the kitchen but they tried hard to make up for it. Can’t do much better than that. Great service.

    Being told you have to pay extra for Parmesan cheese, when you order a pasta dish? That’s a first. Ordered wings- but they don’t offer a blue cheese or a dip? An extensive drinks list, but no NA beers? Our waiter seemed liked he cared more about talking to his “bro’s” then taking care of his customers. The staff seemed more like a frat house and less like a service provider. This place is a no bueno for someone who has over 200 favourable reviews on OpenTable.
    The Story Cafe - Eatery & BarResponded on 27 February 2025
    Dear Shawn, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We genuinely apologize for the experience you had during your visit, as it falls short of the standards we aim to uphold. We understand how frustrating it can be to encounter the unexpected. We appreciate your comments about our drink selection, and we’re always looking to enhance our options, including exploring non-alcoholic beers. It’s also concerning to hear that our service did not meet your expectations; We will address this with our team to ensure that we prioritize our customers’ needs. Please do reach out to me as we would love the opportunity to make things right and we’d be happy to discuss how we can enhance your experience. Warm regards Fina Klaudia Management Assistant fina@thestory.cafe

    The service was excellent, the food cooked to perfection, I would describe as authentic Mediterranean. Nothing to fault with the food or service. We were a group of 4. Seated on the covered patio. The people sitting next to the awning tarp could feel a draft, but easily remedied by changing seats with the people on the inside. Would not recommend a person with mobility issues be seated next to awning side.

    We had fun at Story Cafe on a Thursday night. There was a vocalist and his pianist playing for the diners that night. We enjoyed the food, the seafood linguini and the mushroom burger were delicious~~ The drinks were great!! We would definitely come back again~
