    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.

    As always, Chef Lepine and his team delivered a great experience. Somehow he seems to be able to both keep things consistent at Atelier but also always changing. Even if the menu only gets changed at decent intervals the ingredients seem to be tweaked a bit on an ongoing basis. If you’re looking for a performative experience like a high end Beni Hana you’ll be disappointed. No flames at your table or too much whimsy. The experience lies in the food. Here you get something a little bit more subtle but no less experiential - well paced little waves of food hit your table, you get explanations of each that I can never remember once uttered and you’re left with the food. It always seems a bit overwhelming at first, but being left alone with the food without other distractions keeps your focus where it should be. And somehow, as my son pointed out, it makes you feel like you’re taking a bit of ownership of the experience. I’m sure that this is on purpose.
