L'abattoir Restaurant

A memorable dinner! The steak was one of the best steaks I ever had. The meat was like a butter melting in mouth. The fish was so lovely, and the idea of grapes with fish was so innovative to me. The desserts were one if the best parts to me. I see myself coming back just for having them again. The staff were super friendly and helpful, too. It might seem a bit pricey but totally worth it.

We tried the Gaoler's tasting menu last night and we were wowed! Each dish was so well composed and unique, with delicious and some unexpected flavor combinations. You can see, taste and feel the amounts of thought and skill put into each item. My favorites were the baked oysters and the duck. The service was impeccable and atmosphere in the glass enclosed dining area was elegant. If you're looking for a fine dining place to impress someone, L'Aabattoir is it!

Highly recommend the scallops and the oysters! For mains, we had the steak and halibut. The steak was quite good. Cooked to perfection and amazing garnishes. Not really impressed by the halibut, bit salty and the vegetables that it came with reminded me of something you’d get out of a bag of frozen veggies from Superstore.

Amazing spot! Love the historic building that has been redone. Butcher block tables and exposed brick. Large windows. The space is very nice. The food was excellent. I had the butter poached cod with polenta fries. It was excellent. For starters we shared the oysters, beet carpaccio, and trout...all tasty and good for sharing. All the food was delicious! Finished with coffee and the chocolate torte. Rich and delicious! The wine and cocktails were delicious. Recommendations were great for our food.

Wow! Friends and I were visiting from out of town and decided to splurge on the Gaoler's menu. I had to be persuaded, but thankfully I was. Wonderful food, unique combinations, even the courses that weren't each of our favourites were still far and away delicious. Incredible wine pairing recommendation from our server, he was a wealth of information on not only our meal but the city and other restaurants. The rest of the staff were also knowledgeable and doted on us throughout the dinner. Over the top service, and over the top food. Make sure you go HUNGRY because the courses are RICH and if you aren't used to delicious, fatty, protein-focused meals, you might slow down by the end. And that would be a shame because the desert deserves a shoutout it its own right.
