FEAST | Ancora Waterfront Dining x Ambleside x West Van

Ancora Waterfront Dining | Ambleside, West Vancouver

North Shore—(January 23, 2019) Earlier this month, Peruvian-Japanese restaurant Ancora Waterfront Dining and Patio excitingly opened up their second location in the Ambleside district of West Vancouver after the popularity of their first peak spot overlooking False Creek Fisherman's Wharf.

Ancora Ambleside, just like the first, embraces the atypical but very welcome harmony of Nikkei-style cuisine while still incorporating elements of our local Pacific Northwest fare.

ají panca glazed sablefish (with smoked potato, quinoa, and nori)
Paired with an impressive array of wines emphasizing a certain style and character over geography or varietal, their intriguing selection of signature cocktails also complements a decor that aims to reflect a kind of serene delightfulness to its west coast feel.

arroz con pato (rice and duck two ways with pickled shallots in seco jus)
The pleasant combination of flavours stood out with all the chosen meats and proteins richly prepared to maximize taste. The softly moist sablefish was aces just as the finely prepared duck burst with an excitement of culinary sophistication.

prime ribeye anticucho (with seasonal vegetables, ají verde, and yucas bravas)
Every dish, including the ribeye main course, felt enhanced up by a tasteful array of seasonal ingredients and complementary sauces.

Nikkeironi (classic Negroni cocktail with a sake twist)
The new Ancora Ambleside feels fanciful and luxurious in its Peruvian-Japanese details yet quaintly accessible with some carefully prepared cuisine and cocktails. The intimate yet inviting space—just off the water—seems perfect for a bright, warm evening of fine dining.
