Steveston’s top fine-dining destinations
Steveston has the good fortune of being home to some of Richmond’s finest restaurants. The riverside village is a food lover’s paradise for locally caught seafood (if fish is not your thing, no worries, there are plenty of options). Locals are lucky to able to call these restaurants their neighbourhood haunts, however people travel from far and wide to experience these fine-dining spots.
Blue Canoe Waterfront Restaurant
140-3866 Bayview St, Richmond BC V7E 4R7The award-winning Blue Canoe overlooks the Fraser River, a perfect location to watch commercial fishing boats and sunsets.

From perennial favourites like the waterfront burger, grilled strip loin steak and quinoa salad to daily specials (often shining a spotlight on seafood), this is a happening spot year round.
Ora Sushi & Grill
