Coal Harbour's waterfront institution: fresh BC seafood, a marina patio, and views of the North Shore mountains
Cardero's occupies a position on the Coal Harbour waterfront that no other Vancouver restaurant can claim: a marina-side patio with direct views of the North Shore mountains, the seaplane terminal, and the boats moored in the harbour. The setting is exceptional, and the kitchen produces a seafood-focused menu that does justice to it.
Veil Verdict
Cardero's earns its place in the guide as Coal Harbour's most accomplished waterfront dining room. The marina patio is exceptional, the BC seafood is fresh and well-prepared, and the setting reflects Vancouver's relationship with the water in a way that few restaurants in the city can match. For guests who want to experience BC seafood with a view that justifies the occasion, Cardero's is the right choice.
