Peruvian-Japanese nikkei plates in a glass room facing Lions Gate Bridge, best appreciated the moment the sun hits Burrard Inlet.
Bellevue Avenue, Ambleside
More infoAncora marries Peruvian and Japanese flavours, ceviche and nikkei tiradito, with Pacific Northwest seafood, then seats the whole production in a glass room staring straight down Burrard Inlet at the Lions Gate Bridge. Time it for sunset and the windows do something no marketing budget could replicate. The pisco list is serious, the plates precise and colourful. Right on Ambleside's waterfront, so dress for the room, because the room dressed for you.
This is a view restaurant, so request a window or patio table when you book and aim to be seated as the light goes gold. Order across the menu, the ceviche and nikkei tiradito are the signatures, and don't miss the pisco-forward cocktail list. Budget a full two hours; it's a splurge worth slowing down for, with the Ambleside seawall right outside for a post-dinner walk.
