Patio Lanterns

It’s that time of year when restaurateurs dust off their patio furniture and prepare their outside spaces for the summer months ahead. And although we’ve enjoyed an early patio season here in Richmond, BC – thank you El Nino – we thought we’d share some of our favorite patios to linger on as the days get longer.

Richmond and the surrounding neighborhoods boasts quite an eclectic mix of gastro genres, thanks to our multicultural community, so there’s always some place new to explore. Being the food lovers we are, we thought we’d share a few of our favorites that come highly recommended by the team at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Riverport-Richmond:

Tapenade Bistro – Cuisine comparable to what you’d find along the southern shores of France. Begin with the Beet Salad followed by the authentically delicious Bouillabaisse. Locatedin the heart of Steveston Village at 3711 Bayview Street. Call for reservations 604.275.5188.

The Blue Canoe – Enjoy the game on the heated, covered patio with fabulous views of the Fraser, or share a bottle of bubbles at sunset. Check them out at 3866 Bayview Street, 604.275.7811. www.bluecanoerestaurant.com/

Browns Social House – Casual dining at its best. Stop in for a pint on the patio and try an order of the lobster wings. Located at 11660 Steveston Hwy, 604.275.3322. http://brownsrestaurantgroup.com/

Chop – Searching for a succulent steak or the fresh catch of the day? Stop by to peruse the Ocean Wise menu and a fine selection of local wines. Located at 10251 St Edwards Drive, call ahead 604.276.1180. www.chop.ca/

Bon appetit!
