Main dishes are $14.50 to $32.00. Sadly, no pupusas when we went. - 3x Empanada Colombiana ($1.50) - hot, crunchy - Tamal ($5.00) - chicken was a touch dry but good flavour. Topped with pickled red onion - Arroz con pollo ($14.50) - best dish that we ordered. Tasty green rice (with peas and diced carrots), chicken leg was nicely roasted - Bandeja paisa ($27.00) - crispy chicharron, tasty chorizo sausage. Not much shredded beef. Pricey plate; would try something else instead - Picado criolla ($21.00) - cassava and plantain were great. Nice variety with pork ribs, sausage, potato

Not only we ate once but twice. The flavors, their cuisine is amazing. It is like visiting another country. Very charming. My husband ordered Pan Chícharon & Inka Kola. I ate a Aguadito de Pollo and Empanadas de Pollo. It was a delicious. We ordered their suggestion Helado de Lucina yummy . I mentioned to my husband that I would love to come back to eat at this Peruvian restaurant again, it was even better. The owners were friendly ; Laura & Lalo and all their employees, it was like eating at home very relax. Thank you all Silvestre Deli & Bistro !!!! Blessings, Kenneth & Jacqueline Fritz

Don't bother with this place.

Fantastic high end Peruvian-Japanese fusion with a great location right next to Ambleside beach…read more Excellent taste and presentation, definitely a place to celebrate occasions. Came here to celebrate an anniversary. It's more Japanese than Peruvian IMO. Hint: the appetizer/sides are huge and the best deal. - brussel sprouts: huge portion, great taste and lightly fried - just crunchy but not too fried. Perfect. - octopus - wow you have to get this just for the Instagram shot. It's a work of art. The octopus is slightly spicy and very tender. - sushi pizza - great. Sashimi on a crunchy rice bottom. Very tasty. My sablefish is out of this world. Sooo soft and melts in your mouth good. It is tangy sweet and the flavour is fantastic. The quinoa bed is excellent too, great texture to compliment. Would definitely order this again. Desserts are great. They also did a special thing for anniversary which is really appreciated. Definitely a place for special occasions.

Date of visit: July 15, 2025…read more A friend read that they were doing salsa dancing lessons and wanted to go watch so we walked here from our hotel near Canada Place and I appreciated getting to see a little Vancouver that was not seaplanes and high rises. Unfortunately staff was not very friendly. The woman at the front counter that asked for IDs could not have looked any less interested and waved us in dismissively as though it was inconceivable that we would think she is a hostess. Staff inside was marginally better, though the decor inside is quite nice and we enjoyed the food we had. My husband found the wings to be amazing, and I enjoyed my quesadilla, though it was definitely spicier than I am used to! The salsa dancing was interesting, though I think they went a bit too fast for many of the couples so I am glad that I did not participate!

Ancora is a beautiful restaurant in one of Vancouver's most privileged waterfront locations…read more Perched along False Creek with stunning views toward Granville Island and Kitsilano, it has an elegant, relaxing atmosphere that is bright and clean. The menu's fusion approach is ambitious, but in my experience it can be hit or miss depending on what you order. What I find difficult to overlook is that the restaurant is owned by Solterra, whose nearby property at 900 Hornby St is paramountly different from Ancora. 900 Hornby has become the subject of significant neighbourhood concern. Many residents, the mayor, the chief of police, business owners and representatives from the travel and tourism industries have all voiced frustration over the impact they believe Solterra's upcoming safe drug injection site will have on the surrounding area. Open drug use, public disorder, crime, and a decline in the sense of safety for those living and working nearby has increased exponentially with the SRO Murray Hotel and will only get worse with the opening of the injection site next-door. It's unfortunate to see two properties owned by the same company serving such dramatically different realities only a few blocks apart. While Ancora offers a refined waterfront experience, the situation around 900 Hornby continues to be a source of crime, violence, open drug use and general mayhem.
