L'abattoir est un établissement convivial. Leur bar est le coin rêvé pour prendre un verre. Ce lieu apprécié est ouvert en soirée tous les jours de la semaine. Vous pouvez vous y rendre aisément par voiture ou transport en commun.
A storied neighbourhood with a gritty past is perhaps an unlikely spot to find one of Vancouver's most celebrated dining rooms, but L’Abattoir Co-owners Paul Grunberg and Executive Chef Lee Cooper have happily flaunted the area’s colourful history ever since they opened their elegant Gastown dining room in July 2010.
Located in the city's former meatpacking district, the restaurant's slaughterhouse-inspired name seems fitting. “We liked the mysticism of the name, and the fact that it’s an oxymoron since our food isn’t rough, it’s technically refined,” Paul notes. The fact that both Paul and Lee’s grandfathers were butchers adds another level of irony to the restaurant's name.
Known for its outstanding French-inspired Pacific Northwest fare, L’Abattoir offers an award-winning dinner menu as well as a fresh spin on weekend brunch. Crepes stuffed with ricotta and lemon zest soar to new heights, while baskets of fresh-baked pastries are curated for each table. Round the meal out with a pressed juice or an I Will Survive cocktail (a spin on the Bloody Mary made with Chartreuse), and your weekend is complete.
