Cardero's (Vancouver, CANADA) ★★★☆☆

It was really sad for me to find out that a lot of those restaurants I used to visit during my university days are no longer here. Cardero's is one of the few that still survives.

Cardero's is located along the waterfront of the Coal Harbour Quay and we used to come here a lot before moving back to Asia many years ago. The company behind Cardero's also operates the Tea Room (Stanley Park) and Seasons on the Park (QE Park) so they have been in this business for a long time.



As their slogan "We are fish, chops and wok" already gives it away, this is a place you come to enjoy seafood while also have the luxury of having great food from the grill and wok (Chinese kitchen). And if those do not excite you at all, they also have sandwiches, burgers, pastas, pizzas etc. to pepper your palates. 

My personal favorite here has always been the local BC Albacore tuna crusted with sesame that was lightly seared rare and served with wasabi and soy sauce. The albacore always melts in my mouth. Can't beat that feeling! 



Their pan-fried oysters were also to die for although I didn't like the horseradish cocktail sauce that goes with it.



Today we simply couldn't get enough of the local seafood so we went on to order an ahi Tuna & tomato salad to get the parade going.
