L'Abattoir

L'Abattoir is in the Gastown section of Vancouver.  It is the oldest part of the city.   Gastown is edgier and hipper than the glass towers of downtown and Coal Harbor.  For those who like to dance, there are three clubs within a block of the restaurant.

We shared a  perfectly prepared sweetbreads appetizer.   The scallops were large and succulent.  My favorite dish was the duck.  Two large pieces of rare duck breast and the leg meat made into a confit and enveloped in a fried shell.  The menu is small and changes frequently.  The bartenders are well versed.  The "Don Draper" was a nice take on a Manhattan.
