Ancora Waterfront Dining & Patio is situated along the Seabreeze Walk at the end of Howe Street (at the former C Restaurant) providing guests with panoramic views of False Creek. They have revamped the dated location to a modern and upscale dining experience. ‘Tiffany blue’ hues and neutral is seen through out the restaurant reflects an elegant and serene setting.
Ancora Dining & Waterfront offers guests a dining experience inspired by Peruvian and Japanese cuisine with a mix of The Pacific North West-featuring sustainable seafoods and locally and International sourced ingredients.

We started with the national drink of Peru, served shaken with egg white, citrus, sugar, and topped with aromatic bitters. Pisco is a grape spirit, similar to an unaged brandy. Distilled to proof, much of the flavour of the grape is carried through to the bottled spirit.
We also ordered SAILOR’S MOON (not shown)- hangar one lime leaf vodka, plum sake, millet and moondog bitters.

Amuse – Slow poached trout on potato blini and chive crème fraiche. A beautiful dish and a great start to dinner.


Course 2 – Nova Scotia lobster risotto, yellow foot mushrooms, roasted cauliflower, and preserved lemon. The risotto was my favourite of the evening. Filled with lots of lobster pieces and the crispy brussels sprouts added a nice crunch factor. This did not disappoint.

Course 3 – First Halibut of the season, Haida Gwaii Halibut, kohlrabi puree, smoked chayote, jicama peach salsa. The fish was seasoned and cooked perfectly; seared exterior and tender inside.

If you’re looking for a upscale dining experience with a modern and elegant feel than Ancora is the place. They offer an extensive wine and drink list with knowledgeable staff.
Overall I was very happy with my dinner experience. Everything was beautifully presented, and tasted great. The chef tasting menu that we had was $70 per person (excluding the liquor). The only negative was I found the portions a bit on the small size. Other than that, I would come back again.
My brother recommended I would possibly like this website.
He was once totally right. This put up actually made my day.
You cann’t believe simply how much time I had spent for this info!
Thanks!
