    You may come for the exceptional cocktails, but you'll probably want to stay for chef and co-owner Lee Cooper's French-inspired simple cooking. Ultra-cool but not try-hard. [Eater 38 Member]

    Everything was delicious. Great 1/2 price deals for happy hour. The chocolate ganache was amazing.

    Best meal in a while...baked oysters and stake dianne. Can't make as on the cocktails as well.
  • The Wall Street Journal
    The exposed brick and beam look is a signature of the city's oldest neighborhood. L'Abattoir usually attracts an artistic and stylish crowd. The cocktail list is innovative and interesting. Read more

    Upscale hipster fine dining that's actually done well. Quality ingredients and talent in the kitchen results in some absolutely amazing dishes. It can get a bit loud, but get a table in the atrium.

    Pro tips: before 6:30pm it's HH Time. All plate of 20$ and less are half-price! Please, try the Baked Pacific Oysters. They are exhilarating!!

    Went here for dine out. Food was worth dinner price. Went with the lightly cured salmon, risotto, and ended it off with a nice olive oil cake. Was expecting steelhead but I guess they ran out.

    Steak Diane is to die for, cocktails are dee-lish (Clover Club & Commercial Drive were our faves), cute bartenders--all packaged in a beautiful refurbished building in the heart of Gastown.

    This sleek spot is raising Gastown's game. Try the confit of Albacore tuna with smoky pork morsels and velvety crab custard in "brioche" with chick pea toast and Mostaccioli pasta with mozzarella. Read more

    Expensive but the food was excellent. Too bad the table next door was talking so loud it messed up my experience.

    the Clover Club Refashioned is good for those who don't drink often, and prefer to not taste the alcohol too much. Really good!

    Cocktails here can't be beat. Try the Mexican meat Hook for something both boozy and smoky.

    If you are into wine ask for Jake (the sommelier) to recommend a glass or bottle from his excellent list.

    Always ask what is new on the menu - chef Lee's creativity is maybe the best in the city.

    The veal sweetbread is awesome.

    The bread alone is worth a visit. Bacon brioche, anchovy pastry twist and sesame crisp flatbread... homemade and complementary.
