Concierge "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." Full review

"“You'll want to take a picture of every plate” at this “lively” Gastown hangout where the kitchen combines Pacific Northwest ingredients with French style in “fabulous”, “inventive” fare." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A brightly-lit atrium, French patterned tiles, and bar shelves set askew are highlights in this industrial brick building." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Located in Gastown, the restaurant leans into West Coast cuisine with heavy French influences. Menu highlights include chilled marinated octopus, fillet of wild Pacific halibut "à la nage" "

"“Renowned butter beef”, “fantastic” chicken wings and other “cheap” Cambodian-Vietnamese eats satisfy diners who “need a fix” at this “casual”, family-run kitchen in Chinatown." Full review
Time Out "Expect constant queues at lunch at the best Cambodian-Vietnamese restaurant in town, and without doubt the best meal you will find in Chinatown." Full review
Rough Guide "Excellent, cheap Vietnamese and Cambodian cuisine, especially seafood, in a friendly, family-oriented restaurant. Most dishes cost around $9–14."
Gayot13.0
"Putting out gargantuan quantities of utterly addictive deep-fried chicken wings and marinated butter beef that's seared then splashed with lime juice, fish sauce and fried garlic." Full review
Tasting Table "Double up on deep-fried chicken wings, shatteringly crisp and served with lemon pepper sauce, and butter beef, a take on carpaccio topped with a lip-smacking sweet-sour-salty sauce." Full review
Frommer's "This family-run restaurant has been serving up pho and addictive chicken wings for years...year after year, Phnom Penh scoops up the Best Vietnamese title at the Van Mag Awards " Full review

Be warned that you may need to share a table, and it’s not always easy to get a server’s attention.

"One of the city’s most respected restaurants. Since 1985, this family-run institution has dazzled crowds with both Vietnamese and Cambodian dishes. The menu is massive." Full review

Be prepared to wait for a table; lines form almost as soon as the doors open.
