"Located in a scuzzy back alley in Gastown, Salt Tasting Room is an unlikely destination on Vancouver's culinary map. But this wine bar is a popular spot with local foodies, particularly chefs and kitchen crews."

"Salt is unique and a wonderful place to get a good, fairly inexpensive meal."

"This unusual eatery off historic Blood Alley is trendy even for Gastown, with a bare-bones constellation of menu items changed daily and displayed on a giant chalkboard."

"Keeping it elegantly simple, this kitchen-free concept does combinations of artisanal cheeses, superb cured meats and luscious condiments like mustards, chutneys and rosemary-marinated olives."

Choose three meats or three cheeses and three condiments, plus three wines from the extensive wine list or leave the pairings to Saltâs capable wine-aware staff.

"L'Abattoir plays on the butcher theme in name only—the food here is contemporary and not as meat-centric as one might think."
Fodor's
"This two-level restaurant with exposed brick walls and classic black-and-white floor tiles has a bold collection of cocktails and an adventurous modern menu."
BlackBook
"Thoughtfully-curated wine and spirits list, with knockout original cocktails, like the Donald Draper and the Slaughterhouse, served in elegant antique glassware."
Frommer's
"L’Abattoir serves up some beautifully fresh, creative dishes. There’s a French influence, and a slight Asian one, and maybe a dash of molecular gastronomy."

"Highlights from L'Abattoir's seasonal menu have included poached steelhead and crunchy potato salad; snails and pine mushrooms with crispy chicken skin; a twist on surf 'n' turf."
