L’Abattoir Opening

July 15th, 2010

On July 12th I attended the opening of L’Abattoir a new French Westcoast restaurant with a menu that is focused on clean, fresh, and seasonal flavours using traditional preperations. Everything from sauces to pastas, bread, and even fresh cheeses are made in-house by hand.

Barman Shaun Layton

The ‘Slaughterhouse Punch’ created by Barman Shaun Layton was a hit by all those who enjoyed it including me. Tasting bites were passed around from Chef Lee Cooper’s menu.

This is a room that is going to create a lot of buzz, the modern design elements fit in so well with historical Gastown, in a modern twist that meets the older neighborhood. Their is a front of house bar and lounge, an elevated dining room and a sun soaked atrium at the rear which is my favourite spot and will soon be my go to location for late night and Sunday Brunch.

L’Abattoir is located at 217 Carrall Street in Gastown.

On June 2nd I attended the opening of Adesso Bistro a new Italian restaurant specializing in Ligurian cuisine. The location is one of my favourites for a restaurant in the city, it is a wonderful hideaway well situated in the West End in close proximity to Stanley Park.

Mini Blueberry Cakes

I met up with the Chefs Team (shown above) for a little tour of the kitchen and a Behind the Scenes look. In the dining room and on the outside patio, the mood was upbeat as invited guests mingled about drinking Cocktails, Wine, Beer and eating the tasty Appies and desserts.

Adesso Bistro is now open at 1906 Haro Street in the Westend.

Monk Blessing the Restaurant

Yesterday I attended the opening of Talay Thai in the Marpole neighborhood where there was a ceremony with a Monk to bless and open the restaurant. This was a wonderful ceremony which was followed by a delicious lunch featuring many Thai dishes that included Mee Krob, Kaeng Khiew Waan, rice, vegetables and a wonderful Taro dessert.
