Ancora - Vancouver, British Columbia

This restaurant's location is unbeatable - stunning! Overpriced for what the food is, both ordered aperol spritz it came with about 20 floating dead ants in it - that was noticed after I had drank out of it. When server took it back she said "sorry they like the sweetness" ... not sure what ants are doing behind the bar. No offer to comp the drink or anything. I wont be back even though the location was beautiful Read more

Ancora Waterfront Dining in Vancouver offers a delightful dining experience with stunning views and a diverse menu. My recent visit included the fish and chips, which were decent, though not exceptional. The fish was well-cooked and the batter crisp, but it lacked a bit of seasoning to make it truly ... memorable. However, the Czar salad was a standout—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with a delicious dressing and crisp croutons. The ambiance and service were top-notch, making it a great spot for a relaxing meal by the water. Overall, Ancora is worth a visit, especially for the salad and the scenic views. Read more

Nice restaurant They offer Peruvian and Japanese cuisine Like muted menu Delicious food. Their ceviche recipe is awesome I advise you to try. A little expensive 50-60 $ per person. Location is very strategic and you can reach easily via boats or Uber / Taxis. Better to reserve the table via phone. There are outdoor and indoor tables.

Service is good. The host is amazing for guiding us into the parking garage and letting us out after the meal. - Ceviche sampler is very good. - The chicharrón roll appears to be just a thin layer of possibly pork skin and drenched in miso/teriyaki sauce seared on top. Not ... sure about their definition of chicharrón but none of us could tell what it was. - arroz con pato: generous portion of tasteless and slightly overcooked duck breast. The rice and sides are very flavourful. - sablefish: good taste but bok choy was raw. - halibut cheek: weird spongey texture and entirely tasteless. The scallop is really good. Read more

ANCORA (Downtown) Japanese / Peruvian Fusion! I can't believe it's taken me this long to try this place out! And WOW, amazing patio! Overlooks Granville Island, perfect waterfront dining! Inside, theres tons of natural light! Would definitely come here again and again. Ok in order of ... preference, this is what we got: PERUVIAN PORK BELLY SANDWICH $21 pork belly, roasted yam, salsa criolla, with Yucas Bravas (+$5). OMG it was amazing! Small portion... But extremely tasty! A MUST-HAVE!!!! KUSSHI OYSTERS $4.50each Ok so yes you can get these oysters at other restaurants, but the special sauce and horseradish they made was INCREDIBLE. Definitely better than places... I would highly recommend! PRAWN SOLTERITO SALAD $22 kataifi fried prawn, hannah brooke farm salad, mandarine vinaigrette, potato, cipollini, edamame, cherry tomato, queso fresco. So I'm not a huge salad fan, but this was pretty tasty! The dressing wasn't heavy at all, very light, but tasty! Alisa liked this much more than me... MUSHROOM SOUP $17 mixed mushrooms, sautéed chantarelles, queso fresco, crème fraÎche. This was a very flavourful soup! The only disappointing factor was that we were hoping to get actual pieces of mushroom in here. If they had some, this would have been perfect! Read more
