Overall the experience was fun, but I have to say I'm underwhelmed. The decor/ambience and lighting isn't that special, it's minimalistic but I thought for a restaurant like this it would have an edge. The service was excellent, the servers are so great and knowledgable, they made the experience better. What disappointed me the most was the food. Out of 40 courses we liked maybe 5-6 of them, the majority we found underwhelming. It is a great experience, it's a fun activity to do but the flavours weren't Amazing, we wouldn't go back for the food.

The food alone was worth every penny spent, add on top of that the amazing service and this made for a once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget.

The best cuisine in Canada. Nothing comes close to the variety of foods and the details in preparation. Nothing!

5⭐️ amazing experience, above and beyond staff that’s very knowledgeable about each item, the best culinary infusion with art and presentation and flavour with each bite. The 40 course is sure to please every appetite big and small, with a dish after dish that takes you around the world with flavours. One of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever encountered in my travels.

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!!!
