    One of the best meals I've had in my life. From the food to the cocktails to the staff and ambiance. Everything was perfect and I wish I lived closer.

    We went for the Sunday roast dinner as a party of four. It was the first time for all of us. The food was very tasty, and the plates went back empty. It was a quiet night in this small eatery and so the noise level was pretty quiet even though the other two tables were right next to us. We will definitely return again for their regular meal service.

    My first visit to L'Atelier and I was very impressed. Everything surpassed my expectations, from the innovative cocktails and the the crispy homemad bread and olive oil to the delicious main courses and tasty desserts. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations on dinner choices and wine pairings. We will definitely return!

    The Sunday roast wad excellent. The roast beef was succulent and tender. We loved the parsnip soup starter. Excellent sized portions topped up by a wonderful dessert.

    Food and service were impeccable. Being a very small restaurant means the noise level is pretty high.

    2nd time here and was as before… lovely evening decor and ambience - tables can be close together so conversation volume need be average (not loud). Service great and food excellent. The main dish is dominantly protein with a little veg (would like if there was more veg) proteins are all amazing. Delish appies as well as the desserts. It is on the pricey side but the flavours are outstanding. The only fine dining downtown Sidney, that am aware of, and lucky to have this gem here!
