Established in 1997, Cardero's is one of Vancouver's longest standing & top-rated restaurants. Nestled in the gorgeous waterfront neighbourhood of Coal Harbour, we offer an unbeatable location, intimate yet lively atmosphere, outstanding food, and exemplary service. You can cozy up by the fireplace in our lounge, enjoy the rustic, nautical ambience of our dining room, or watch the boats come in and out of the harbour on our heated and covered patio. At Cardero's, we take the utmost pride in providing you with a truly spectacular and memorable dining experience. While we are most famously known for our fresh seafood, we also offer a wide variety of classic west coast cuisine, wok dishes, and scrumptious desserts.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

    Every dish we ordered was excellent and fresh —oysters on the half shell, stir-fried squid, planked salmon, ahi tuna, lobster bisque. We also enjoyed the roasted Brussel sprouts. The ambiance and view of the harbor add to the festive experience. We would definitely recommend and return to Cardero’s.

    My girlfriend and I loved celebrating our special occasions for the first time there. The creme brulee was amazing and the lamb was absolutely delicious. Our server was very helpful as well. My girlfriend loved her prawns and scallops and cheesecake. :) We will definitely be spending our occasions there more frequently :)

    We had a lovely dinner here on Valentine’s Day. The restaurant was extremely busy, but the service remained attentive and efficient. The sablefish and lingcod were both outstanding perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The squid was slightly overdone, but overall, the meal was excellent. Despite the holiday crowd, the staff handled everything well, and we never felt neglected. Would definitely return for another meal!

    Our service was exceptional! We never felt rushed and was able to enjoy a wonderful evening. Our food was delicious, we had the crab crusted lingcod and cedar plank salmon. Enjoyed an affogato and carrot cake for dessert…so yummy!

    Outstanding! My birthday lunch, was fantastic! Impossible burger and cedar plank salmon was great! We got stuck behind a car accident driving to the restaurant, so I called Chris, (your hostess with the mostest!!!), I told her we would be late. Chris told us not to worry, our table is waiting, and to drive carefully! So gracious! Our server was lovely! What a team!
