Oceanside Escape
For fresh-from-the-sea fare with a side of scenery,
the waterfront patio at Cardero’s (page 90) is the
perfect place to drop anchor. This picturesque perch
on the edge of Coal Harbour offers views of Stanley
Park and the North Shore mountains, as well as end-
less opportunities to gaze longingly at the daydream-
inspiring sailboats in the nearby marina. Picturing
yourself as a sea captain is hungry work, but dishes
like the Dockside Platter—an array of chilled seafood
including mussels, oysters, salmon poke, ahi tuna and
more—provide ample fuel for all seafaring fantasies.
