The GOODS from L’Abattoir

Vancouver, BC | New Year’s Eve never looked so classy. On December 31, L’Abattoir invites revelers to an elegant evening that shows off the French-inspired dining destination at its finest.

Party-goers keen to socialize with fellow guests can lounge in the main dining room, selecting from an á la carte menu featuring L’Abattoir’s flavourful France-meets-West-Coast fare. A long night of celebrating deserves food fit for a king, and L’Abattoir’s menu delivers with savoury elk pâté, pumpkin-infused pasta, delicate duck breast and rich suckling pig.

Bar Manager Thor Paulson will keep guests hydrated with classic and original cocktails, including the Martini-inspired Tuxedo #2 and the wish-it-was-summer Castles Made of Sand. Vino enthusiasts can select the perfect pairing with the help of Wine Director Lisa Haley – and yes, Champagne bottles will be plentiful.

Diners seeking a more intimate experience can reserve seats at the communal table in L’Abattoir’s 1,200-square-foot private dining room, which retains the restaurant’s ambiance without the hustle and bustle of the regular dining space. Led by Chef / Owner Lee Cooper the culinary team have pulled out all the stops to craft a four-course feast featuring duck foie gras torchon with Riesling jelly, preserved cherries and toasted brioche; roast fillet of beef with butter-poached lobster; and caramelized banana with brown sugar crumble and white chocolate, among other decadent delights. Carefully curated wine pairings and cocktails will round out the tantalizing meal.

Reservations for the communal table are available at 7:00 p.m. on New Year’s Eve. The $175-per-person price includes a four-course dinner and beverage pairings, and is inclusive of all taxes. Tickets must be pre-sold in advance, and there will be an automatic gratuity of 18 percent added on the final bill. The menu is set, with no substitutions or special requests available and is not suitable for vegetarians. There are only 50 seats available, these pre-sold dinner tickets will surely sell out quickly!

To reserve a table in the dining room or to book pre-sold tickets for the private dining room four-course menu, please call 604.568.1701 or email events [at] labattoir.ca.

About

L’Abattoir is located in the center of Gastown between historic Gaoler’s Mews and Blood Alley. The restaurant was built in the 19th century and is the site of Vancouver’s first jail. 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 that combines classic French tile work with industrial fixtures, natural wood, and glass and steel finishes, the restaurant offers a bar and lounge setting, elevated dining room and plush, sun soaked atrium.

Chef Lee Cooper and Owner/Operator Paul Grunberg are dedicated to highlighting the finer points of eating and drinking in L’Abattoir’s informed but informal setting. French influenced West Coast fare is paired with Wine Director Lisa Haley’s eclectic wine program and Thor Paulson’s innovative cocktail list offer a truly unique dining experience.

L’Abattoir adds to Gastown’s bustling breakfast scene with a menu mixing comforting staples with hearty, unique entrees. Thirsty brunchers can sip on creative cocktails, as well as daily feature vermouth on the rocks. Non-alcoholic options include daily bottled house made iced teas.

Just adjacent to L’Abattoir’s regular dining room is the restaurant’s stunning new private dining facility. The 1,200 sq ft. facility features historical architectural elements complimented by a contemporary design aesthetic. While large enough for 50 people seated or 70 standing, the room retains an intimate ambiance and a noise-reducing barrier blocks out the hustle and bustle of the regular dining room.

Serving seven nights a week. Join us.
