Pescatarian Tasting Menu Returns to Ancora’s Two Locations in March

The GOODS from Ancora

Vancouver, BC | Back by popular demand, Ancora Waterfront Dining and Patio will haul in a bounty of the West Coast’s best seafood when it brings its Pescatarian Tasting Menu back to both its False Creek (Vancouver) and Ambleside (West Vancouver) locations throughout the month of March.

Available Sundays through Thursdays, the Pescatarian Tasting Menu gives Executive Chef Ricardo Valverde and his talented culinary teams another opportunity to underscore the restaurants’ mission to showcase fresh catches in such signature Peruvian-Japanese ‘Nikkei’ dishes as miso & aji panca grilled prawns, sesame-crusted albacore tuna tataki and steelhead trout with squid ink hummus, fingerling potatoes and green olive vinaigrette.

Returning for the third year in a row, Ancora’s prix-fixe Pescatarian Tasting Menu offers guests a choice of first plates, mains and desserts and will be a highlight of the daily menu from Sunday, March 1 until Tuesday, March 31 for $49 per person plus tax and gratuity, with regular à-la-carte options also available.
