\"ancora<\/a><\/p>\n

In envisioning the design and d\u00e9cor of Ancora Ambleside, Vancouver’s\u00a0SmartDesign Group\u00a0<\/strong>migrated the same coastal-inspired, serene-yet-sophisticated style of the original location by using a palette of neutral colours and touches of light wood to embrace and reflect the warmth of the city’s waterfront. The design team also incorporated a theatre-like open kitchen and bar that invites guests to engage with the chef and sommelier teams and showcases the space’s sweeping panoramic views via high ceilings and windows.<\/p>\n

“We couldn’t think of a better spot to bring the Ancora experience to the North Shore,” says Edwards. “We look forward to introducing our guests to a menu that embraces the harmony of Peruvian and Japanese cuisines while incorporating the bounty of local ingredients available to us on the West Coast.”<\/p>\n
