Members of Vancouver’s hospitality community are uniting in solidarity to urge the public’s support of the local independent restaurant and service industry as well as those whose livelihoods rely on them, by offering myriad ways to show support during this unprecedented time of COVID-19.
The wine-paired tasting menu inspired by the fundraising dinner will be offered in the L’Abattoir dining room on Tuesday, March 31st and Wednesday, April 1.
Each year there are only a handful of restaurants that receive a platinum award and this year, L’Abattoir was among just seven restaurants in both BC and Alberta to be honoured at the highest level.
The ticket auction for L’Abattoir’s first No. 1 Gaoler’s Mews dinner in 2020 is set to launch on Monday, February 24th at 9am and remains open until Saturday February 29th at 6pm sharp.
OpenTable released their annual list of the 100 Most Romantic Restaurants on January 24th just in time for Valentine’s Day and ten Vancouver restaurants made the cut this year with L’Abattoir among them.
The 100 Most Romantic list features restaurants from 31 cities across 7 provinces. Ontario tops the list with 46 establishments, followed by Alberta with 21, British Columbia with 15 and Quebec with 13. Rounding out the list are restaurants from Nova Scotia (2), Manitoba (2) and Saskatchewan (1).
Chef and owner of L’Abattoir, Lee Cooper and his team made the decision to shift the focus of the No. 1 Gaoler’s Mews dinners towards a higher purpose at the beginning of 2019 and haven’t looked back since. “We had been searching for a way of making a larger impact for an organization that we believed in, so rather than making many small donations to many different causes throughout the year, we took our passion project, No. 1 Gaoler’s Mews and turned it into a fundraising program for a charity that we support wholeheartedly”, says Cooper of the shift.
