The entire experience at Atelier was nothing short of magical. The 40-course tasting menu was masterfully curated, with each dish flowing seamlessly into the next, creating a thoughtful and playful progression. The food was truly exceptional—some of the best I’ve ever had. Every plate showcased a unique blend of creativity and fun that is unmatched anywhere in the city. The service was equally outstanding. Our server was not only friendly and attentive but also impressively knowledgeable, enhancing the entire dining experience. I cannot recommend Atelier highly enough. Don’t walk—run to experience this culinary masterpiece!

Superb!! This will surely be Ottawa’s first Michelin restaurant. I have been to many and I will not miss coming to Atelier every time I am in Ottawa. This restaurant would easily be double to triple the price in Europe. C’est Fantastique!!!

Amazing meal and service. Didn't love being charged $14 for home made sparkling water for an $800 meal - felt nickel and dimed.

À ÉVITER ! Plats quelconques à de rares exceptions (sauf les desserts vraiment réussis pour la plupart) mais déco banale, service approximatif (trés rapide, même quand les deux convives n’ont pas terminé), vitres sales. 22,5% de pourboires OBLIGATOIRES. Sans compter une expérience malheureuse : première partie de soirée dans la salle inférieure qui empestait le poisson frit. Après deux demandes infructueuses, nous avons insisté pour être déplacés à l’étage et avons obtenu gain de cause. À ce moment notre serveuse nous a signalé qu’il ne fallait pas hésiter à demander où vouloir être placé lors de la réservation (sans connaitre le restaurant). On nous a reproché notre sensibilité aux odeurs (nos vestes sentent encore le poisson quelques heures plus tard). Bref, de quoi gâcher un repas médiocre à plus de 1100 dollars. Top 43 canadien, comment ? N’y allez pas ! Fuyez !

Unbelievable meal for a special occasion. If the dishes don't bring a smile to your face, nothing will. The service is top-tier and the staff are experts of their craft. Treat yourself and some loved ones by experiencing Atelier.

What an experience! We went to celebrate our anniversary and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend the half wine pairing, it added so much to the experience.
