The Top 21 Restaurants in Richmond
The best restaurants in Richmond, by the professional record: World Culinary Awards, Canada's 100 Best, and Eater have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Baan Lao comes out on top.
Bamboo Grove Restaurant and Max Noodle House hold the next two places. Chinese Restaurant Awards shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with Vancouver Magazine next.

Rank 1. Baan Lao
Royal Thai
A 20-seat fine dining room in Steveston Village, which is otherwise known for fish and chips and frozen yogurt, turns out to be an oddly perfect home for royal Thai cuisine. White-gloved servers bring each course of an 18-dish tasting menu to white-clothed tables overlooking the Fraser River. The chef trained privately with Bangkok cooks before opening this, having no restaurant background at all. Canada's 100 Best ranks it among the country's top 25.
