There's a surprising lack of late night food in downtown Vancouver during the week. Cardero's is a triple threat: food and cocktails served late, a comfortable & slightly upscale environment, and it's on the water.

We went for cocktails a couple nights during our last stay and were impressed with the mixology and service. My husband had an excellent Vieux Carre. Another night we had dessert - Apple Strudel with Vanilla Gelato. It was big - perfect for sharing - and delicious.

The live guitarist in the lounge was very good and a nice bonus.
