Back by popular demand, Richmond Station's legendary Kitchen Party returns this New Year's Eve and its going to be bigger, bolder, and even more delicious than last year. Hosted by Top Chef Canada winner Carl Heinrich and Executive Chef Aldous Cheung, this is not your average NYE event. We're opening the doors to the kitchen and inviting just 100 guests to join us for an immersive, all-inclusive, behind-the-pass celebration.

What to Expect:

This isn't a sit down, boring prix fixe dinner (although there is seating!). It's a roving, high energy kitchen party where guests can get their hands dirty (literally) if they want to! Expect to hang out in the kitchen, cook your own burger, fire a pizza, compete in fun culinary challenges, and embrace the joyful chaos that only a true kitchen party can bring.

Doors open at 7:30 PM, and guests are welcome to arrive anytime throughout the night. Come hungry and dress as you wish - this is an evening built for comfort, fun, and full-on celebration.

All Inclusive Ticket:

Your ticket includes everything! The evening’s food and drink experience will be just as vibrant as the atmosphere. Guests will enjoy beer from our friends at Common Good Brewery, alongside curated cocktails crafted by Beverage Manager Atharva Bhilare, featuring premium spirits from Stratford Fox Run. Our Sommelier, Ryan Donovan, has hand-selected a 100% Ontario wine list, showcasing the very best from our local vineyards including back vintages and magnums! Throughout the night, DJ Matt Migz will keep the vibe alive with a dynamic setlist, and at midnight, we’ll raise a glass together with a festive champagne toast to welcome 2026 in style.

This year, we’re adding a twist: the Apron Contest. Guests are encouraged to bring their favourite apron - wacky, vintage, customized, or classy. Prizes will be awarded for coolest, most unique, and best overall apron. It’s time to show off your kitchen swagger.

Only 100 tickets are available, and this event will sell out. If you joined us last year, you know this is a one-of-a-kind celebration. If it’s your first time - prepare to party like never before. Secure your spot, grab your apron, and get ready to cook, sip, dance, and toast your way into the New Year with the Richmond Station family.
