A New Patio for Summer in Gastown
Just in time for patio season, L’Abattoir has officially opened its new 18-seat patio, offering guests a vibrant outdoor dining experience in the heart of historic Gastown.
The streetside patio provides the perfect setting for evening cocktails, curated Champagne flights, and dinner, while taking in the energy of one of Vancouver’s most iconic neighbourhoods. Guests can explore a selection of sparkling wines by the glass or as tasting flights, featuring everything from Vancouver Island favourite Unsworth to Nova Scotia’s acclaimed Lightfoot & Wolfville rosé, alongside grower Champagnes from producers such as Stéphane Regnault.
Guests can also enjoy a dedicated patio and bar menu that includes the debut of Le Royal en Crépinette, the new signature burger available exclusively at the bar and on the patio. The indulgent creation features an Angus beef patty, smoked onions, cave-aged Gruyère, confit garlic aioli, and a potato bun.
“Sixteen years is an incredible achievement, and while being recognized for our consistency year after year is rewarding for the whole team, what we’re most proud of is the community that has grown around L’Abattoir,” says General Manager JC Madenspacher. “Our focus has always been on creating memorable experiences through genuine hospitality, and we’re excited to welcome both longtime regulars and first-time visitors as we continue this next chapter.”
About L’Abattoir Restaurant
Located in the heart of historic Gastown since 2010, L’Abattoir is situated in a refurbished 19th-century heritage brick-and-beam building that pays homage to its history as the site of Vancouver’s first jail in the city’s main meatpacking district. Today, the Michelin-recommended restaurant has staked its claim as one of Canada’s best restaurants, with a diverse array of French-inspired West Coast cuisine focusing on locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, along with an ever-changing selection of classic and signature cocktails and a broad list of BC and imported wines.
Whether in its bar and lounge, or in its elevated dining room or glass- and steel-accented atrium, L’Abattoir offers dinner five nights a week, Tuesday to Saturday from 5:00 pm. Happy Hour is offered at the bar from 5:00 to 6:00 pm, Tuesday to Saturday, with an extended All Evening Happy Hour available every Wednesday from 5:00 to 11:00 pm. L’Abattoir also offers a beautifully appointed Private Dining Room that is completely separate from the restaurant dining room, and is available to book — for lunch or dinner, seven days a week — for corporate events, weddings, or other celebrations or gatherings.
