Located in historic Gastown between Gaoler's Mews and Blood Alley, built in the 19th century on the site of Vancouver's first jail and originally buttressed to the city's main butchery and meat packing district, the name L'Abattoir pays homage to the neighbourhood's colourful past. Set in a refurbished brick and beam building combining classic French tile work with industrial fixtures and natural wood, the restaurant offers a bar and lounge, elevated dining room and a plush, light soaked atrium as well as private dining rooms. Chef/Owner Lee Cooper is dedicated to highlighting the finer points of eating & drinking in L'Abattoir's informed but informal setting. Service is expertly orchestrated to be unpretentious yet refined. The French-influenced West Coast fare is paired with the eclectic wine program and the bar team's innovative cocktail list to offer a truly unique dining experience.

Private party facilities
L’Abattoir’s Private Dining Room is a carefully orchestrated yet seemingly effortless affair. The private dining facilities are separate from the main restaurant dining room but the décor is an extension of our celebrated brick and beam style, with sleek, industrial glass and steel accents.

Tried for the first time during Dine Out and promised ourselves to return for the chef’s menu on special occasions. Came here for my birthday and it did not disappoint.

Bopping place, great location in gastown, great ambiance, service was amazing - staff very well trained (i used to be in the industry). Food was excellent - very creative and a bit 'different' so it makes for a unique dining experience - the flavours were amazing, portions a good size ( i had anticipated them being small but they ended up being the perfect size at least for me!). I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Great place for special occasions. The servers are instructed to tell a little story about every meal (including desserts), which I found unnecessary and slightly annoying, but they were just doing their job, so I let it go :)
