Vancouver, BC | Gastown’s L’Abattoir has been awarded “Best Casual Restaurant” at the Vancouver Magazine 2012 Restaurant Awards. The award is a ringing endorsement of L’Abattoir’s commitment to serving quality cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere.
L’Abattoir’s Chef, Lee Cooper, was also recently recognized by his peers receiving a third place nod on the Best Chef list in Georgia Straight’s Golden Plate Awards behind two of Vancouver’s most awarded chefs. The accolade was noted after a team of Straight staffers polled over 100 local restaurateurs, chefs, and managers asking them to name Vancouver’s best in a variety of categories.
General Manager, Paul Grunberg, noted “Lee and I are proud to be participating in such a vibrant restaurant scene. Vancouver has so much great cuisine to offer. It is humbling to receive such praise at this time…in this city. We really want to thank our staff, family and friends for all of their support.” Read more

SEEN IN VANCOUVER #326: Cool Christmas Installations Landing Off Maple Tree Square
December 3, 2011
I was having a drink at the bar in L’Abattoir in Gastown last night and noticed a huge chandelier of wrapped presents cascading down from the ceiling in the shape of an inverted Christmas tree. The owner, Paul Grunberg, told me it was the work of Chad Falkenberg and Kelly Reynolds, two local designers who donated their time to Yule up a few businesses around Maple Tree Square. See also their white-lit arch of plum trees at the entrance to Roden Gray, the Christmas wreath of shiny Sapporo beer cans at Sea Monstr Sushi, and the cellophane-wrapped bikes at Strada Cycles. Take a look:

BOOZER: Shattering Pigeon Holes While Drinking Whisky And Gin At “The Shebeen”
July 23, 2011
by David Greig | Every bartender has a favourite spirit. In the name of entertainment and at the risk of massive generalisation, their choice reflects their personality and drinks style. Gin lovers tend to be refined, classically-inspired types, while bourbon fanatics are more rugged, carnivorous characters. A tequila-imbiber leans towards the more hedonistic way of life, while rum drinkers enjoy sunshine and smiles. The less said about vodka enthusiasts the better.
What of Scotch, though, my favourite spirit, and traditionally the tipple of choice for those of a more, shall we say, wizened character? A romantic at heart, the (slightly patronising) connotations of salt-of-the-earth types sitting around a blazing hearth dispensing nuggets of wisdom appeals to my heightened sense of sentimentality, while the rough and tumble terroir-like variety of regions keep the category as a whole continually fresh and interesting. And on Monday, Jim McEwan, Master Distiller of Islay distillery Bruichladdich (meaning ‘brae by the shore’, or ‘slope by the shore’), one of the most innovative distilleries in the UK, was holding court at The Shebeen to shed more light on some of his fine single malts along with an intriguing new gin produced on the island as well. Here was an opportunity to shatter some pigeon-holes and try a little liquor cross-dressing… Read more
BOOZER: “Bar-ate Kid” Barkeep Contest To Determine Our Ass-Kickingest Drinkslinger
June 24, 2011
by David Greig | On July 4th, a bartending contest will take place at The Keefer Bar in order to determine who rules the roost as the deadliest sensei of Vancouver’s cocktail scene. The Bar-ate Kid Invitational – with support from Havana Club, Beefeater and Jameson – will determine who has the all-round skills to be declared the Mr. or Ms. Miyagi of Mixology.
Themed on the 80’s movie Karate Kid, we foresee a fast and furious fight to the death with head-to-head knockout competitions based on three criteria: speed, style and drink quality. There’ll be no foams, jellies, smoke or mirrors permitted, and the only rapid infusing will be between a can of beer and every loser’s tears.
This is just 16 of the best guns this town has to offer, duking it out for nothing more than pride, bragging rights among peers, and the small matter of a $600 cash prize.
Head to Chinatown at 1pm to see it all go down. Again, that’s 1pm at The Keefer Bar on July 4th.
Strike First. Strike Hard. No Mercy.
