About L’Abattoir
Located in historic Gastown and on the site of Vancouver’s first jail and once the heart of the city’s meat packing district – L’Abattoir is a refined nod to the neighbourhood’s gritty past. The restaurant has earned critical acclaim, including being Michelin Recommended since 2022.
Helmed by Chef Jasper Cruickshank, the menu blends French technique with West Coast ingredients. Set in a 19th-century brick-and-beam building, the space showcases classic French tile, warm wood, and industrial accents, with options to dine at the bar, the mezzanine or the light-drenched atrium.
With a Platinum Award-winning wine list recognized by the Vancouver International Wine Festival, a polished cocktail program, and hospitality-driven service, L’Abattoir has remained one of Vancouver’s most compelling dining destinations for over 15 years.
