Richmond Station is the highly anticipated first restaurant from last season’s Top Chef Canada winner, Carl Heinrich and Ryan Donovan of the well-loved West Side Beef. The duo, who both left their respective positions at Marben earlier this year, have refreshingly modest aspirations; to be the neighbourhood restaurant in a neighbourhood that needs one. “This is isn’t fine dining,” Heinrich tells me, “it’s buying good food, cooking it properly and putting it on a plate.”<\/p>\n
The space, formerly occupied by Asian-fusion restaurant, Yulla looks totally new inside. The dining room is relatively unadorned letting dark woods contrast with prominent white subway tiles and off-white walls that display oversized prints from the Toronto Archives. Upstairs, in the smaller dining room, we claim front row seats at the kitchen-facing chef’s rail and have the opportunity to watch the kitchen staff at work and to chat with Heinrich \u2013 who is clearly comfortable in front of an audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1472,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_application":"fernando@astoundify.com","_company_name":"","_company_website":"richmondstation.ca","_company_tagline":"","_company_twitter":"https:\/\/twitter.com\/richmondstn","_company_video":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CDsw0nc-yqE","_filled":0,"_featured":0,"_remote_position":0,"_job_salary":"","_job_salary_currency":"","_job_salary_unit":""},"job-categories":[51,29],"job_listing_tag":[57,67,73],"class_list":["post-1470","job_listing","type-job_listing","status-expired","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","job_listing_category-canadian","job_listing_category-restaurants","job_listing_tag-accepts-credit-cards","job_listing_tag-alcohol","job_listing_tag-reservations","not-claimed"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/listify-demos.astoundify.com\/classic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-listings\/1470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/listify-demos.astoundify.com\/classic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-listings"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/listify-demos.astoundify.com\/classic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/job_listing"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/listify-demos.astoundify.com\/classic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/listify-demos.astoundify.com\/classic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1470"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/listify-demos.astoundify.com\/classic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/listify-demos.astoundify.com\/classic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"job_listing_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/listify-demos.astoundify.com\/classic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-categories?post=1470"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/listify-demos.astoundify.com\/classic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_tag?post=1470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
