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 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.

Vancouver / British Columbia best for : Live Music and Contemporary American

    Fig and Brie Wellington was great. Lobster gnocchi and squash and mushroom linguine were both delicious. Service was great and not once were we put on the clock. Party of 2. We would come back in a heart beat if ever in the area again. Perfect spot to celebrate my wife’s birthday.

    This is our third time there and Story again exceeded our expectations. We’re downtown but the fact they’re so close to the Bridgeport Skytrain station makes getting there a breeze. Totally worth the trip.

    THIS IS A HIDDEN GEM. You will think you have made a wrong turn. Don’t let the industrial neighbourhood throw you off. Food was spectacular, service friendly and attentive, ambiance intimate but fun (live music). Run here. Don’t walk. So worth it.
