Reviews for The Shoestring Cafe in Richmond, BC
Hidden gem in Richmond. The Shoestring Cafe, at first thought, one would think it serves simple cafe style dish. Saw some... pictures and read some views, it was not so simple at all. When I arrived, it was a small place, so reservation should be amust. The decor had this mystery vibe to it. I was super impressed with the plating, it looks high class. The food wasdelicious, I loved the pork. Portions are a good size as well. Would totally recommend if you have not been here. Read more
Not so much of a hidden gem anymore since the word is out, but definitely worth a visit! Located in the commercial / industrial... area of Richmond, this restaurant has plenty of free parking within the plaza and on the street. They usually have special dealsfor combos like ad $20 to any entree price to also get a appetizer and dessert (any on the menu). Everything we tried wasexcellent, but these are the MUST TRY.. Appetizers- tiger prawn+corn cakes, mussels Main- saffron pasta, lamb chops(8ribs!) Dessert- chocolate souffle Read more
This is seriously such a hidden gem that's tucked away near the outskirts of Richmond. I still find myself thinking about the... fresh baguette served with their homemade shrimp butter (which I highly, highly recommend). The table ordered the Dungeness crabwith avocado salad and the seafood and corn chowder for the appetizers. They were extremely well-seasoned and was a perfect wayto start off our meal. As for the mains, we opted for the cajun chicken alfredo, grilled aged rib eye steak, and the seafoodalfredo. Again, completely had our minds blown by how amazing it tasted. For desserts, we had their flan and panna cotta, whichwas great as it wasn't sickeningly sweet. The prices a bit on the pricier side, but the entire meal was totally worth it. Read more
Mom?s choice of restaurant for Canada Day. Small restaurant in commercial area. Good quality food, decent portions. Price is on... the higher side for the restaurant setting and area but still reasonable. Probably will return just for special occasion. Read more
Had a chance to try this little restaurant hidden in East Richmond. It?s located in a business district on No. 6 Rd. Inside,... there?s about 10 tables. The menu is sufficient with choice on steaks, fish, duck and other meats. The mussels and calamari wasgood. The main course, the tomahawk steak was the prize. So juicy and done to near perfection. Other entrées included duckbreast and halibut steak. All good. Read more
Tiny restaurant tucked away in commercial area of Richmond. First time here during Dine Out and was pleasantly surprised by the... quality of the dishes and good service. The photos speak for themselves. We enjoyed the seafood chowder, scallop thermidor,thick cut of pork, and flavorful steak. Loved that they had chocolate souffle as a dessert option. Good COVID-19 measures inplace, from checking i.d., to the clear panels separating the tables. Don't let the location and outer aesthetic deter you fromthis gem. Read more
Me and my friend visited this place for the first time on Friday evening. The location is not ideal in Richmond but it was... surprisingly busy. People come just for food from here. We got the freshly baked bread with homemade shrimp paste and butter,steamed mussels with white wine, black cod fillet and duck breast. The main courses came with their homemade pumpkin puree,which was mild and creamy, it went along with the vegetables well. The ingredients they used were very fresh and everythingcooked well. The restaurant owner and server there are very nice, their services are pretty good too! Highly recommend thisplace! Read more
