   A reminder why L’Abattoir is a mainstay. Came for a special night out and had the chef’s menu with wine pairing because we couldn’t decide what to order. Every dish was worth writing home about - from the trio of starters to the fish with a caviar and Brussels sprouts sauce. Sorry for the terrible photo! A meal I won’t soon forget. The sommelier was thorough and friendly in describing all the delicious wines. Can’t wait to come back.

   Great food and service. However was there for romantic meal and soon after we sat a work party was put beside us and were just doing there thing loud convos and laughter. We were at the back of the restaurant right beside them, it was to much we couldn't talk normally w out raising our voices and being interrupted with loudness. So no intimate romantic meal but again food and service on Point.

   There were surprisingly few gluten free options on the menu. This is a big change from the last time we were there. It was fixed after we insisted the server speak to the kitchen. Otherwise pleasant and busy as usual. Food was perfectly cooked and the baked oysters were divine.

   It was a birthday dinner and we were not allowed to bring a birthday cake and there was no cake to order on the menu

   L'Abattoir RestaurantResponded on January 17, 2023Hi Adeola, thank you for your kind review. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We are sorry that we could not serve the cake you wanted, since we have staff with severe nut allergies we have a strict "no outside food" policy... we try to keep this policy from impacting a good celebration but sometimes we miss the mark. We would love the opportunity to host you again and appreciate you choosing L'Abattoir to dine!

    Restaurant is not comfortable. Very loud. Service was good and they tried hard to please. But for my taste anyway, poor ambiance, uncomfortable seating and a very high noise level was a deal killer for future meals.

    This is not our first time dining at L'Abattoir, but it may be our last. The room, ambience and service is always comfortable and fun. The hostess was kind, the server was cheerful and personable, the sommelier was knowledgeable and helpful -- however the tasting menu left a lot to be desired. We had the $155 chefs tasting menu, 8 "courses". The first 3 were canapés, of which the steak tartar was tasty. The raclette croquant was bland and the foie gras and ok. The pacific oyster was also nice, but nothing special. Our ling cod was bland, and lukewarm. The veal sweetbreads were the best part of the entire menu, very delicious -- also the only dish that arrived even close to hot/warm. The squab was also quite bland and lukewarm, only the black currants were flavourful. Both desserts were also just ok. We had a good time, but would not recommend the tasting menu. It really missed the mark. Very disappointing, "ok" at best.

    Food was delicious but during the busy dinner rush service was average. Our waiter while friendly was distracted by something falling at another table left us in the middle of describing an entree and never returned. Gluten free options were also a bit challenging to place requests for.

    Went for the 9 course menu right before their New Year’s special, and was thoroughly impressed with every dish that arrived! My server (can’t remember his name unfortunately) was outstanding, providing me guidance through drink choices, was very pleasant and provided me great service! Would recommend L’Abbatoir for a lovely night out.

    Food and service are great overall! But for vegetarians, the options are too limited and the portion of dishes is too small compared to non-vegetarian dishes. The dessert could still be improved.

    Great experience overall, been there several times. Sommelier recommended a Pinot noir to pair all our meals. Even though it was not bad, it was very mild and had nothing particular for the high price point.

    We were 4 and had the expensive Chef's Menu. Loved the different foods but as the waiter brought the 9 courses and told us what each was, our table could hardly hear for all the noise. So think you should ask for a menu to be left at the table so you know what you are eating. None of us enjoyed the last meat course.

    Food was good but be careful of the server who tries to mislead guests with the half open still / sparking water and charge extra money on the bill. Just ask for tap water.

    The food was exquisite, the presentation was outstanding and the service was very good The only thing that was “disappointing” was the choice of tableware. The chef and team in the kitchen go to exceptional length to deliver each dish PERFECTLY presented. For example, the foie gras is on a beautiful, handcrafted cracker base which is covered in a delicious jam, topped with perfectly cut foie gras and finished off with a sprinkle of finely chopped black truffles But the dish is presented on an “IKEA” like industrial plate The exquisite and meticulously prepared shrimp dish is literally presented in a plain white bowl. For a Michelin starred restaurant, I’d expect such a beautiful and delicious dish to be presented on an exceptional plate. Instead, it too was in an IKEA industrial bowl The food is world class. If they just paid a bit more attention to the tableware on which the food is presented, their ratings im sure would rise even further

    L'Abattoir RestaurantResponded on December 23, 2022Thank you so much for your kind words regarding our food program! We are very proud of what our kitchen has to offer and are honoured to be a part of Vancouver's first Michelin Recommended list. We will pass on your notes on plate ware to our team to consider. Cheers!

    Visited the restaurant for my husband's birthday and the food did not disappoint. I had the fish with crab and he had the lamb. If we were at home I am pretty sure plates would have been licked! The only downfall was that they ran out of the wine we wanted to drink. First world problems :)

    L’Abbatoir never disappoints. The thoughtful menu, the exquisite preparation, the expertise when it comes to cocktails or wine selection. We had some very minor hiccups in terms of timing but the staff was quick to correct so no complaints here. I will happily go back…time and time again!
