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!

    Great seafood. We had the crab crusted lingcod and the sable fish and both were delicious. One of the best Ceasar salads. Wine on the expensive side. Service excellent and consistent. Noise level very high. We come here for our anniversary every year need I say more.

    Went to Cardero's to celebrate my girlfriend hitting a work milestone, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere, the staff the food and wine, everything was exceptional. 12/10 experience, we will definitely be back!

    I had a great experience at Carder’s . The food was delicious, with a good variety of options, and the prices were fair for the quality. The service was attentive and friendly, which made the visit even more enjoyable. However, one drawback was the strong smell of cooking when you first step inside. It would be much more pleasant if the kitchen was better separated from the dining area or equipped with more effective ventilation. Overall, it’s a great spot for a meal, and I’d definitely recommend it with the hope that this minor issue can be improved!

    We had reservations at the sister restaurant The Teahouse. However they had to close because of downed trees. The teahouse recommended your restaurants, but it was NO COMPARISON to the Teahouse. They are totally different.

    Can't beat this location. You can take lovely stroll along the seawall and end up at this gem. Inside it is cozy and warm. Tables are very nicely spaced allowing for privacy. Mussels were fantastic. Lots of fish offerings as well as other items. Perfect evening out! Very much enjoyed. The walk back after supper was very much needed!

    Another amazing experience as always. Sat in the lounge for a change by the window beside the fireplace with an amazing view. Our server Maria was excellent and food as well. The slice of birthday cake for Mom was literally icing on the cake! 🎉
