We do not accept menu modifications for aversions/dislikes, as this will compromise the integrity of the experience

Should you have any severe allergies, please highlight them in detail at time of booking, keeping in mind that we are not able to omit dairy, gluten, soy, nightshades, mushroom & allium as this impacts the overall experience. We will contact you for further clarification & to determine if we will be able to safely accommodate

Regarding mild allergies, our kitchen is not allergen-free & therefore we cannot guarantee zero cross-contamination

Please note that severe allergies may result in the outright omission of any one course from your experience

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.
