| - I had the best dinner in a long time at Richmond Station! It's rare that I love everything - from appetizer to dessert! The staff were nice. Prices were reasonable for the quality you are getting. There's public parking right beside the restaurant. I will most definitely be coming back again!! I couldn't stop talking about the meal after we were done!
We ordered the crispy pork belly with a slightly spicy apple, cucumber, scallion salad as an appetizer. Best pork belly, perfectly cooked. Appetizer portions are small, and more meant for one person instead of sharing. For mains, we ordered the slow cooked smoked trout, it comes medium rare and was so so smoked and buttery good. We also ordered the crispy duck confit, which is a crispy duck leg, and comes with pan fried gnocchi, mushrooms and broccoli. The pan fried gnocchi and mushroom sauce were so good, I would totally order it on its own. For dessert, we ordered the ice cream bar which is their most popular, and the bubble tea. Each dessert plate is packed with different flavours! The ice cream bar was spectacular, it said it had pecans and I was expecting an ice cream bar with individual pecans in it but they actually crushed the pecans and sort of made it into a cookie/ biscuit layer within the ice cream, so the texture was great! The bubble tea had milk tea ganache, lychee sorbet, and tapioca pudding and some matcha powder to top it off, it's like I am eating 3 desserts at the same time and are all good!!
All in all, it was a five star meal and explained why it is quite hard to get reservations at this restaurant!! Book a few weeks in advance if you want dinner on the weekend!
