   We had the chefs menu paired with the premium wine tasting. Every member of staff we interacted with was professional and friendly. The sommelier was lovely, as was our server. The wine was good, paired nicely with each dish; although for $155/person for the wine alone you’d expect to get more than just a singular glass at most. The food was good, but largely overpriced for the quality and quantity. Most of the dishes came out Luke warm. +$700 for 2 people for the premium wine pairing and chefs menu is incredibly overpriced. We left quite disappointed in the overall value.

   Opened on time, very courteous, prompt door reception. Coat closet which is fantastic. Had the Chefs tasting menu with Paired drinks which also was fantastic. Some of the dishes were out of this world particularly the cod and lamb mains. Overall a great experience. Only downside we had was the noise level made it extremely difficult to hear the servers complimentary explanations of each pairing, or just conversation in general. Other than that an exceptional meal and we will return.

   Great service. We took the tasting menu. Ling cod and the beef tartare were the best thing on there. Andy the sommelier was awesome and made some terrific wine recommendations for the meal.

   First time at L'Abattoir. This venue is where the Irish Heather used to be on Carrall St. We originally had reservation for 6:45, but were in Vancouver early. Upon entering the restaurant at 5:30, we were greeted right away, and the very accommodating maitre de, was able to seat us right away, in a very nice table overlooking the bar. Our waiter was very attentive without being overly intrusive. He described most of the dishes and made great recommendations. We had the baked oysters and wild smoked salmon; both were absolutely delicious. Next up were the mains of Steak Diane and the Grilled Venison. Again, spot on and cooked medium rare. The service was nicely timed. The menu items are on the higher priced side, but for a once in a while occasion, well worth it. The only thing that kind of bugged me was the credit card reader had gratuity increments of 19%, 22%, and 25%. Tip what you want, but that starting point is a little excessive in my opinion. However, that did not cut into a great dinner.

    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.
