Vancouver | Hidden Gem Seafood Restaurant | Little Karp
๐ Little Karp Seafood & Bar ๐ 8631 Alexandra Rd #110, Richmond ๐ Rating: 5/5 ๐ฅ ๐ฐ Price: ~$65 CAD per person ๐ A friend recommended this spot during my Vancouver trip, and it was an absolutely delightful surprise! Just opened with a great deal: add $18 to any main for a 5-course set menu. The menu rotates seasonally, making each visit a new experience. ๐ฅ Appetizers ๐ Octopus Leg Slices ๐๐๐๐๐ Marinated in yuzu oil for a tangy, refreshing kick. The octopus is perfectly tender with a satisfying chew. Paired with yuzu pulp - a must-try! ๐ฆ Mixed Seafood Ceviche ๐๐๐๐ A bright, citrusy blend of lobster, octopus, and scallops with cucumber, pineapple, tomato, and a hint of red pepper. Light and flavorful. ๐ฅฃ Scallop & Potato Cold Soup ๐๐๐๐๐ A creamy potato base with briny scallop richness, topped with fresh herbs. Unique texture and incredibly fresh seafood. ๐ฅฉ Mains ๐ Pan-Seared Fish ๐๐๐๐๐ Wild black cod with a delicate sauce - buttery and melt-in-your-mouth tender. ๐ Fusilli alla Caprese ๐๐๐ Duck and tomato pasta - decent but not standout. ๐ค Squid Ink Risotto ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ The star dish! Packed with clams, scallops, and baby octopus. Rich, briny, and deeply flavorful. ๐ฅ Seafood Paella๐๐๐๐ Generous seafood portions in a tomato-based rice. Solid but not extraordinary. ๐ Lamb Rack ๐๐๐๐๐ Perfectly juicy with sweet potato purรฉe, cauliflower, asparagus, and a savory scallion sauce. ๐ฐ Dessert ๐ Lemon Cheesecake ๐๐๐๐๐ Not overly sweet! Balanced citrus tang with creamy richness - a perfect finish. #VancouverEats #SeafoodLover #RichmondBC #FoodieFinds #HiddenGems #TravelEats #MustTryRestaurant
