What people say, in short
L'Abattoir draws strong praise for its food, with diners calling it one of the city's better dinner spots and a favourite for tasting menus. The baked oysters come up repeatedly as a highlight, and the bread and service also get kind words. One visitor finds the rear side of the space lovely, and another calls the whole experience very nice. The honest caveat is cost: one diner describes it as pricey, and another says it sits outside their budget.
