ANCORA WATERFRONT DINING AND PATIO – FALSE CREEK
Executive Chef Sebastian Delgado’s special Easter two-course lunch ($44 per person) and three-course dinner ($55 per person) menus beautifully display Ancora’s signature Peruvian-meets-Japanese Nikkei cuisine. Guests can indulge in dishes such as Prawn Causa with avocado mousse and panca emulsion, Papa A La Huancaina Salad with romaine hearts and soft-boiled egg, and Forbidden Rice Seafood Paella with Peruvian corn and sablefish croquettes. Choose between Picarones with pecans, spiced syrup, and ice cream or daily selection of Sorbet for dessert.
“Easter in Peru” is the feature cocktail created by Bar Manager Kam Tabarraee in honour of the holiday. This captivating drink showcases Tacama Albilla Pisco, white crème de cacao, Frangelico, cacao nibs-infused green tea, and a dash of raspberry-and-lemon shrub. It is then served in a chocolate-rimmed martini glass lined with two whimsical chocolate-covered grapes, which resembles chocolate Easter eggs.
