One of Metro Vancouver’s most time-honoured foodie traditions is reopening for the summer season! The Richmond Night Market has been satisfying all manner of international cravings since it began in 2000. 26 years on, it has become a seasonal destination for hungry foodies seeking incredible food vendors, live cultural performances, and fun family activities. You could easily spend the evening here, following your senses around each delicious corner. It can be a lot to take in all at once, so we’ve got a few options to get you started and prime your appetite. Have fun!
Strawberry and Cream Mille Feuille
The market is full of perfectly flaked European pastries. Keep your eyes peeled for this crowd-pleaser and grab one before they sell out!
Birria Tacos
One of the most umami-tasting tastes you’ll find among the food stalls, these dippable sandwiches/tacos will have you savouring every juicy bite. Be sure to grab an extra napkin, though!
Pizza
What needs to be said, really? The market has plenty of crisped-to-perfection, oven-baked pies. Many of which have an absolutely stacked toppings list.
Mango Sticky Rice
One of the true bangers of the market, this Southeast Asian delicacy never fails to satisfy. Sometimes it’s the simplest of combos that make the biggest impression. This pick proves it.
BBQ Squid
Calimari with a kick, the lightly sweetened sauce is a wonderful accompaniment to the crisp crunchy texture. Grab an order to share with your friends, but they won’t last very long!
Japanese Shaved Ice
Nothing refreshes quite like the thinly shaved shards of coldness. Add your choice of flavoured topping and it’s one of the tastiest ways you can fend off the summer heat.
Ramen Donut
Just one of the more unexpected culinary creations you can expect upon arrival. Will it become a cultural mainstay? Who knows, but it’s definitely worth giving it a go for yourself!
Flying Ramen
Order a cup and watch all the double takes at this eye-catching, gravity-defying delicacy. The market always delivers when it comes to presentation. Just be ready for the questions about where you got it!
Roasted Pineapple Custards
The sweet tang of the pineapple, the creamy goodness of the custard, it’s a combination you might not have heard of, but makes perfect sense. One scoopful and we have a feeling you’ll agree.
Bone Marrow
Never tried it? Now’s your chance! Spread on a toasted piece of bread, there’s nothing like the savoury taste of marrow. If you’re still unsure, try it out with a group and discuss all your satisfied conclusions.
