La Fantaisie
Housed in a two-storey Victorian building in the heart of Abbotsford, La Fantaisie artfully
combines florist, Cafe & restaurant and function spaces into a welcoming and tactile proposition.
Embracing a layered approach to materials, the venue reflects the beauty and fragility of the
historic site. Burnished concrete floors, exposed-truss ceilings, raked render and troweled
brick walls create a textural backdrop, drawing focus to the striking articulation of floristry
and café benches. Custom carved from solid blush-toned marble, the bench’s scalloped
profile is a creative hallmark of the space, complemented by linen drapery and tiered flower
displays that define a series of dining settings in timber and cognac leather. Upstairs, a
brass-lined cocktail bar and open function room craft a captivating setting for special events.

Great atmosphere. Very beautiful. Signature drinks are lovely and very instagrammable. My group were place in a very tight corner despite other tables being available and booking ahead. Food was ok but everything looked really nice. The waiter we had was wonderfully honest about which dishes were better than others and we appreciate this. There was a change in menu that morning and so we taste tested!

Would recommend, food was excellent. The pancakes in particular were great. It was quiet when I went but the way the tables are set out is a bit squishy. I can imagine it might not be a comfortable vibe if it was really busy. But enjoyed it overall, good food and drink and is very aesthetically pleasing.

Nice food and drinks. Although service felt like they were pushing us to leave as soon as we finished our meals.
