Waterfront smokehouse opens in Steveston with harbour views

Wharf & Flame Smokehouse + Lounge has opened at 120-4020 Bayview Street in Steveston, bringing low-and-slow barbecue to one of Richmond's best waterfront locations.

The new spot takes over the space that Good Co. occupied for 3.5 years before closing in January. Wharf & Flame is leaning into the modern smokehouse vibe, with big platters of smoked meats, sides, and hearty handhelds.

The real draw is the setting: right on the boardwalk overlooking the harbour, it's a natural fit for summer patios. The restaurant is still in early days, so the full menu is still rolling out. Keep an eye on their Instagram (@wharfandflame) for hours and the complete lineup.

This is a major piece of real estate in Steveston — one of the neighbourhood's prime riverfront viewpoints — and the opening comes as the village continues to draw both locals and visitors looking for food and water views.
