Service between appetizer and main course took longer than usual. Noisy atmosphere. Rock fish was salty.
Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to write, we appreciate the feedback, as always. We've followed up with the team regarding the slower service and are committed to providing the highest level of food and service moving forward!
Excellent food and service, small portions. The restaurant was relatively empty, but good ambience and covid measures.
Hi Ben, Thanks for the support! We appreciate you noticing the time and effort we've put into health & safety measures and look forward to seeing you again soon!
AMAZING HAPPY HOUR!! If you can nab the bar seats up against the front window, you’ll have a perfect view of all the dogs of gastown. The cocktails and food are really nice, too.
Thanks Andrea! We look forward to seeing you back at the bar again very soon!
Flawless Execution
Some of the best cooking in Vancouver
Our first experience at this restaurant was fantastic! We felt the staff genuinely cared about us and made us feel welcome. Outstanding food served by amazing people
Hi Sarah, Thanks so much for the glowing review! I've passed your feedback along to the staff :) We really work hard to ensure our guests always feel welcome. Cheers!
Went for an anniversary dinner and boy are we happy we chose this place... the service was 10/10.. the staff really know the menu and make you feel super welcomed. I highly recommend the baked oysters and duck breast.. we can't wait to come back! Thank you La'battoir for making our anniversary special.
Hi Jose! We appreciate you choosing us for your special day! Thanks for the kind words and we look forward to welcoming you back soon :)
We were there to celebrate our birthdays, both in March, and had the scallops & sweet bread for appetizers and tandori cod and rabbit for dinner, followed by dessert, the chocolate dessert and banana. We loved the scallops, tandori cod and both desserts were great! It was a good birthday, and we recommend L'Abattoir for anyone else celebrating their special day!
Thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice review, Teresa! We're happy you were able to enjoy your birthdays with us :)
Thank you for a wonderful birthday dinner for our mom
Portions were a bit too small.
We were accosted by several unmasked transients when we left.
Food is always out of this world. Service just what the food needs. Hard not to go back every week.
Fantastic!
Very good food and ambience. Tasty, creative, and well presented. We ate during the pandemic and felt safe.
We went to L’Abattoire for our 4 year anniversary.
It was our first time dining at L'Abattoir and it was a lovely evening out. We enjoyed the different flavours offered for food and enjoyed the way all the food complimented each other. We will return.
Our servers were amazing - explained all the foods as they arrived and was able to get us a glass of wine that is normally on the tasting menu (rather than on the list of wines sold by the glass). Moreover, the dishes tasted amazing. Curious - there were several appetizers - it's interesting that all the appetizers were brought out at the same time, rather than one at a time. Most Michelin star restaurants would bring the appies out one a time for the guest to experience slowly. The Tasting menu was expensive, but we have always enjoyed the food at L'Abbatoir.
Excellent pairing, great taste and great service! Thank you for the experience.
This was an amazing dinner experience. I have not been there for awhile but will be back again soon. The service and food were top notch!
Wonderful food as always—had the Gaoler’s tasting menu and pairings. Plexiglass shields and appropriate distances between tables are in place.
Steak Diane was brilliant. Good atmosphere and experience
Good experience, food and selection for wine pairing was excellent.
most courses are perfect except the lamb. lamb with a little bit of smell.
Delicious quality dishes. Appie, entrée and dessert all fantastic.
Our reservation was pushed back 20 minutes later due to minor accident but other than that, staff were accommodating , food was good, great cocktails selection and fairly priced.
Hi there, Thank you so much for joining us and we do apologize in the delay for seating. Please feel free to reach out to us at info@labattoir.ca next time you're thinking of joining us and we'll leave you a small token of our appreciation! Regards, Team L'Abattoir
My partner and I really enjoyed our first experience at L'Abattoir. We both work in the industry and have been looking forward to this dining experience. Our server and food runners were knowledgeable to help assist with the perfect wine pairings and dishes that blew our expectations! So happy we came when Chef was there which made it extra special. Can't wait to return.
Hi Nicole! Thanks again for joining us the other night, we're super pleased to hear we could exceed your expectations - can't wait to have you back !
We had an amazing Valentines Day dinner and enjoyed the tasting menu. The food and service was top notch and we will be back.
So far the best! Will be back for sure!
Wow! The tandoori sablefish is incredible. Everything was excellent. The service was very good. Never disappointing, but last time it exceeded our expectations. Well done!
We had a lovely dinner for my husband’s birthday. The food was excellent and the service was stellar. It was a special evening of being pampered in the best possible way!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback! We've been working hard to keep our standards high. Glad you and your husband enjoyed yourselves, looking forward to seeing you again soon!
service is good
nice place for couple
but the dark chocolate is too sweet
Enjoyed a night out with my husband. Wonderful evening with great food and knowledgeable staff. Our server Melissa was wonderful. Good luck on your continued wine studies W Set.
Wonderful tasting menu. Great flavors
A favourite place to visit when I'm in Vancouver. We went with two pre-teens and they loved their mocktails and the server was incredibly accommodating to our requests. Great vibe in the room, fantastic music, friendly + personable staff. Food was incredible.
Truly exceptional. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairings and everything was perfect.
Thanks Jesse! Looking forward to seeing again soon. Cheers!
We did the gaoler's menu. It was incredible!!! A splurge but worth it. This is one of the best dining experiences I've ever had.
Wow it was really really good. The duck my dear! Amazing. I also organized a little surprise for my +1 and the staff on site helped me (they kept the gift for 2 days + gave it just at the right time during the diner.) Thank you so much for this night, it was truly amazing!
Congratulations again from team L'Abattoir!!
Amazing ambience, menu and service! We had The Gaoler’s tasting menu with wine pairing this weekend and it was easily among my top 5 dining experiences in Vancouver. 5 stars!!
Excellent service and food, enjoyed the seasonal craft cocktails and how knowledge the staff was.
Thanks for the positive feedback Charlotte! Looking forward to seeing you again soon :) Nick
I would definitely recommend eating at L’Abattoir!!! The food was delicious and it definitely sparked conversation about some of the different flavor combinations going on in the dishes. The service was also on point and professional. The only comment would be the choice of music. Gangster rap would be fine at a lounge or nightclub bit I thought the ambiance and food combination begged for something a little more conservative.
Everything was absolutely amazing and made for such a great date night.
We had a lovely evening at the restaurant. The food was outstanding. The server was very good and I especially loved the dessert! The only thing I would critique is the choice of wine or wine itself. As a second level sommelier, I'm pretty confident it was corked. My husband chose it and I only took a sip after eating and drinking other things. We ended up bringing the bottle home and I tasted it and yeah, definitely corked. It was iltabarro Valpolicella 2016. Too bad since he spent $91 on the bottle. I should have stepped in and taken charge but I didn't want to upset our evening. Otherwise, we enjoyed ourselves very much.
