Metro Vancouver
Every business here is filed under a real category and pinned to the part of Richmond it trades in. The details come from the public OpenStreetMap map data, so they can be out of date — confirm with the business before you set off.
Narrow the list with the rail, by trade or by neighbourhood. Every filter is a plain link with its own address, so you can bookmark it, share it or send it to someone who needs a plumber's-worth of local knowledge without an account or an app.
Family greenhouse operation on No. 2 Road near Steveston that grows about 90 percent of what it sells across roughly 25,000 square feet of glass. Best known for hanging baskets, geraniums and bedding plants, plus bulbs in fall.

Steveston music school on London Road running one-to-one lessons on most instruments, alongside group classes and summer camps for kids, teens and adults. Low-key and neighborhood-scaled rather than a conservatory.

Golden Village accounting firm above Hazelbridge Way offering cloud bookkeeping, GST and PST compliance, corporate tax planning and reorganizations, estate returns and non-resident tax advice. A practical fit for Richmond business owners and landlords.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang cooking on Alexandra Road, a regional style far less common in Richmond than Cantonese. Xiao long bao and sheng jian bao are the signatures, alongside the braised, slightly sweeter dishes of eastern China.

A tiny Japanese-French cake studio on Alexandra Road, open Thursday to Sunday only. Chiffon-based entremets and choux in flavours like matcha yuzu, restrained on sugar and finished carefully. The popular ones sell out, so it is worth calling first.

Cantonese restaurant tucked into an Alexandra Road strip, quieter than the big banquet halls nearby. Dim sum is the draw at lunch: steamed dumplings, rice rolls and taro puffs made to order, with plenty of seafood on the dinner menu.

A small Chinese-run beauty spa on Hazelbridge Way offering facials and skin treatments in a private room setting. Worth a call if you want a treatment in Mandarin without heading to a large clinic.

Small Japanese izakaya in Continental Centre serving ramen, okonomiyaki, donburi and hot pot in a tight, dimly lit room. It went viral years ago for a beer-styled ramen, but the everyday draw is shareable plates and late hours.

Three ways in
Every route through the index is an ordinary link with an address of its own. Nothing here needs an account, an app or JavaScript.
The rail lists every trade in the index, with the sub-categories under each one. Each is a real page at its own address, so a filtered view can be bookmarked or sent to someone who needs it.
Where a business trades matters nearly as much as what it does. The neighbourhood list splits Richmond the way the people who live here split it, and each one has a page of its own.
If the name is already known, the search box at the top of this page goes straight there. Part of a name works, and so does a street or a trade.
Why this directory exists
A directory is only worth the reading behind it.
Every entry is categorised and placed in the neighbourhood it trades in, starting from the public OpenStreetMap map data. If a business has closed, moved or changed hands, we would rather pull the page than leave a wrong address sitting at the top of a search result, so tell us when you spot one.
