Best Canadian Restaurants in Leslieville / Riverdale

Have wanted to try this restaurant for a long time. Each dish was beautifully presented, showcasing a variety of flavors, colors, and textures. Surprisingly, the dishes incorporated a lot of Asian flavors paired with French techniques. Most of the dishes were excellent and unique, though there were a couple of misses. The service was good, with attentive staff. The ambiance was decent and comfortable, not suffocating or uncomfortable at all. Overall, I enjoyed my time and dinner here.

The food was both inventive and delicious. My partner enjoyed the Nori-Cured Salmon while I savoured the Roasted Carrots—a perfect balance of flavours. For mains, my partner opted for the Chickpea Burger; while they felt the patty tasted slightly processed, I thoroughly enjoyed my Arctic Char, cooked to a tender and flavorful medium rare. We shared a creamy and indulgent Vanilla Custard for dessert—a sweet ending to a lovely meal. The ambiance was clean, uncluttered, and welcoming, with a vibrant yet relaxed energy. It was refreshing to dine among people fully immersed in enjoying a great meal rather than being distracted by social media. What stood out most was the exceptional hospitality. Every staff member we encountered made us feel genuinely valued as guests, and it was a special treat to meet the chef-owner, whose dedication to guest comfort and enjoyment is evident in every detail of the experience. Richmond Station is a gem I’m thrilled to have discovered, and I can’t wait to return for another memorable meal. I highly recommend it!

Amazing food, drinks and location! Service was friendly and fast. We were there for Taylor Swift on Nov. 23 and they were decorated for her and for Christmas. The whole place was incredible! Anytime we are in Toronto, it’s a must!

Great food and good bang for our buck. Our server checked in on us often and made sure we were happy throughout the entire meal.
