Richmond's historic fishing village at the mouth of the Fraser's south arm, where a working commercial fleet still sells off the dock at Fisherman's Wharf. Moncton Street carries independent cafés, bakeries, gift shops and restaurants; the Gulf of Georgia Cannery and Britannia Shipyards bookend the boardwalk, and Garry Point Park closes the western edge.
Steveston is Richmond's historic fishing village, set at the mouth of the south arm of the Fraser River. The village grew around the fishery and still works at it: a commercial fleet ties up at Fisherman's Wharf and sells its catch directly off the dock. The Gulf of Georgia Cannery and Britannia Shipyards bookend the boardwalk, and Garry Point Park closes the western edge of the village where the dyke trail runs along the water.
Moncton Street carries the commercial core, a run of independent cafes, bakeries, gift shops and restaurants. Bayview Street takes the waterfront side, closer to the wharf and the boardwalk, while Chatham Street and Second Avenue hold addresses set back from the main run. No. 1 Road carries further commercial frontage where the village meets the road north through the rest of Richmond. Businesses here are usually described by street rather than by mall or plaza, so knowing which of those five streets an address sits on is most of the work of finding it.
The directory lists 83 businesses in Steveston, and food fills most of the larger categories. Restaurants come first, followed by fast food and takeout, cafes, ice cream and dessert shops, bars and pubs, and bakeries, a spread that fits a village serving people who come for the waterfront as well as the households living behind it. Dentists and clothing stores also appear among the main categories, which covers the everyday side of the village rather than the visitor side.
Walking is the practical way to cover Steveston once a car has been parked. The dyke trail follows the waterfront past the shipyards and out to Garry Point Park, and the commercial streets sit close enough together that an address on Chatham Street is a short walk from one on Bayview Street. The Canada Line does not reach this part of Richmond, so arrivals are by road. Within a single category, several options usually sit inside the same few blocks, which makes comparing them straightforward.
A counter-service Chaoshan noodle shop that opened on Moncton Street in 2026, serving hand-pounded beef and pork balls in clear broth with rice noodles, white pepper and celery. A plain wooden room better suited to twos and threes than groups.

Steveston bookshop and cafe in one room, stocking mostly secondhand titles with some new releases. You can trade in your own books for store credit, and the espresso bar means people settle in rather than browse and leave. Separate kids' and adult sections.

Family-run Punjabi kitchen that outgrew its small Moncton Street takeout counter and moved into a larger Bayview dining room. A dozen curries, biryani, Indo-Chinese dishes and vegetarian platters, open daily from late morning until nine.

French-leaning cafe set just off No. 1 Road at the quiet edge of Steveston Village, doing savoury and sweet crepes, sandwiches and proper coffee. A calmer option when the Moncton Street cafes fill up with weekend visitors.

Family-run Texas-style smokehouse near the far end of Bayview, turning out brisket, pulled pork, lamb shank and smoked chicken quarters. Portions are large and the lounge side pours beer and cocktails. A change of pace from Steveston's seafood.

Reggio-inspired early learning center on Bayview Street in Steveston Village, where the day runs on art, music, gardening and yoga rather than worksheets. There is an optional meal service, and it is small enough that staff know every family.
