The Abbey In Vancouver’s Crosstown

Posted by on Nov 3, 2014 in Restaurant Recommendations | 0 comments

Vancouver Food Tour was invited by the kind folks at The Abbey to try out their new offerings. Stylishly designed in modern, Westcoast setting, this Crosstown tavern offers an elevated, yet comfy dining experience. They focus on a balanced blend of classic and contemporary fare, alongside local craft beers and wines.

Chef Durbach’s menu specializes in family-style sharing plates. However, individual plating is available for large groups. They have two private dining rooms that can accommodate up to 32 guests in a casual yet private setting.
