Had dinner at L'Atelier during our Quebec City trip in August. The food was delicious but we had to wait for awhile for our food and the music was too loud. The service was good and friendly.
L'Atelier is a great spot to have a few drinks, dance, and have fun with friends. I made the unfortunate mistake of stopping by on the way home after a day at the spa and was greeted with loud music and an extremely crowded bar. If you're in the mood to party, L'Atelier is a great spot. The food was surprisingly really good. We ordered the chicken caesar salad to share and licked the plate clean!
Second time in Quebec City and 2nd time at this place.. it was alright but obviously first time was better.. service : almost inexistent I felt like they forgot us in the back. Food: ok .. nothing special but their sister resto (ophelia) was a 5/5 so wierd We stayed in the area so we walked it instead I don't recommend coming by car because there's lots of no park zones and I watched people get tickets all night lol The food : burrata was good just lacked vinaigrette on the arugula beside it wish there was some acidity My wife had the duck confit Salad it was amazingwish i got that lol My flank steak was 2/5 no seasoning and overcooked Overall it was mediocre for such a fancy place Not sure ill be back
Excellent food and excellent drinks. Went with a group of 8 and took the front window on a very snowy night. Appetizers of stuffed olives, some with almond and some with pepperoni. A vegetable plate with eggplant and hummus and crudités. Some onion rings to share. These were really good. Everyone got a type of tartare but I got the vegetarian one. Deliciously light and crisp as well as acidic with Granny Smith apples and tomatillos as well as little hunks of cheddar.
Filet mignon was amazing, the way the presented was very nice, the poutine was on point and the Mac and cheese lobster was really good , I think it's one of the better lobster I ever had. They let me take my dog in the outside dinning, very nice waitress. I can't complain.
SO DELICIOUS! We went on a Friday night and this place was packed. My husband and I waited about 25 minutes for a table and when we got to the table the service was pretty quick. Burrata - was so yummy! As you can tell from the picture i forgot to take a photograph before starting to eat lol. Beef burger and house salad - burger was solid. I wasn't the biggest fan of the salad so maybe would stick to the other sides that come with the burger. Chicken burger with Poutine - so good! Loved the poutine. The gravy was delicious. Amaretto Sour - also really delicious. Couldn't taste the alcohol it was blended in really well. Churros - Not the best. A little too sugary and the chocolate sauce was not good. The caramel sauce was a little tooo sweet. Would try maybe another dessert.
This place is situated near the Fields of Abraham Museum along with many other restaurants. We stopped in for lunch and enjoyed it. The weather was great and we ate outside. Servers were pleasant and the food was excellent. The salmon tartare was real good.
Hidden within a row full of other restaurants, this one stood out to us mostly because of the menu and the staff who greeted us as soon as we walked by. We were served by Francois, who was super friendly and helpful when it came to deciding what we should order. My friend and I both ordered the poutine which is a typical French dish in this area. I guess we just weren't fans of french fries drenched in gravy, but the cheese itself was amazing. We sat outside since the Ambiance was really nice and the weather was just amazing. I went inside the restaurant a couple times to use the bathrooms just because they look super...and to wash my hands.
Had the appetizer with buffalo mozzarella, capriccio de buffalo, ham, Brie cheese and other cheese. It was wonderful. We had the dark-hoppy beer-- Vox Populi and my friends has different whiskeys. It was a pleasurable place, Then at 10:00PM they had live music.. the crowd was fun, the bar tenders were great, then even spoke to me in Spanish. Next time I need to try the main dishes, but for appetizers, and a bar hopping night out- it was excellent.
Its almost midnight on a Saturday night, and you just finished checking into your hotel. Where are you going to get a good meal at this late hour in Quebec City? Luckily L'Atelier's kitchen is open until 2:00am on Friday and Saturday, and serves quality food with a warm Quebecois smile. The lovely hostess and tattoo'ed waitress both gave us a friendly welcome on our first night in French Canada. This was the complete opposite experience we had in France three years ago... $27.50 Salmon Tartare 8oz...was this invented in France? Or Hawaii? No clue...but this raw salmon tasted fresh and delicious enough. $23 Steak Frites...I had to stick with the classic for my first meal in French-Canada. Simple, cooked perfectly, and delicious. $7 Churro Dessert...far from Mexico, but still good enough with lovely dipping sauces. We also spent about $30 in booze...we're on vacation! We sat outside in a nice heated outdoor patio, but on Fridays and Saturdays the main interior becomes a loud night club. This looked like a popular spot for locals, so give it a try if you still have energy.
We came here principally for cocktails, and ending up staying for dinner. They have a *fabulous* menu of cocktails: I had a Boulevardier which you rarely see on a menu, my wife had a nice gin/tonic with cucumber puree which came in a unique syringe (see below). The drinks were excellent. Several of us had the salmon tartare which was *really* good. The fries were excellent, the salmon was flavorful - the greek yogurt they add to it really gives it a nice tang. Another of our party had the beet salad which was very generously proportioned, and she really enjoyed it. Our waiter was great - we had trouble making up our minds when we first sat down, but he was very patient returning several times to take our drink and food orders. I like the ambiance of this place. You sit quite close to your neighbors, but people were very friendly and it was nice to engage in conversation. If you are looking for good/creative cocktails and great light food this would be a great choice.
Great atmosphere, friendly staffs and great service. Tartare was awesome except fries and croutons. Dip Duo was tasty. friends love their cocktails. I had virgin Jack Sparrow but it just tasted like a coca cola with lemon. Ambience was really nice and we had great service and time. The restroom was a surprise that everyone in our table all went to take a look :D. read more
We had a reservation and sat at the bar on Saturday night. All the bartenders were very friendly and attentive. The vibe is very upbeat and cocktail bar. We ordered the tuna tartare... The french fries were great. We also had the truffle mac & cheese, which was pretty good. I ordered a Caesar salad without chicken and they messed up the order and didn't put any dressing on it but did put chicken on it. But they offered to remove it from the check so no problems! read more

Absolutely wonderful dinner & drinks! The staff is superb! Oh my goodness, l'Atelier Creates the perfect Old Fashioned, as well. We had, as a starter, their poutine. Wow! Frites covered in incredibly fresh cheese curds, pulled pork & rich gravy. Afterwards, I had the best short ribs that you could ever imagine. On the plate with the short ribs from heaven were fresh carrots, asparagus and a wonderfully prepared pumpkin purée. Now, follow this with the MOST incredible creme brûlée and espresso and you have a truly memorable dinner experience. We had made Tuesday night reservations a few days in advance. Be sure to do the same. L' Atlelier on Grande Allée is always justifiably very busy & full. Service was superb. I would give L'Atelier a 10 Star rating on a 5 star scale. They are perfection! Absolument merveilleux dîner et boissons! Le personnel est superbe! Oh mon Dieu, l'Atelier crée le parfait Old Fashioned. Nous avions en entrée leur poutine. Hou la la! Frites recouvertes de fromage en grains incroyablement frais, porc effiloché et sauce riche. Après, j'ai eu les meilleures côtes courtes que vous puissiez imaginer. Des carottes fraîches, des asperges et une purée de potiron merveilleusement préparée se trouvaient sur l'assiette avec les courtes côtes du paradis Maintenant, suivez ceci avec l'incroyable crème brûlée et l'espresso et vous vivrez une expérience de dîner vraiment mémorable. Nous avions réservé mardi soir quelques jours à l'avance. Assurez-vous de faire la même chose. L'Atelier de la Grande Allée est toujours très occupé et occupé à juste titre. Le service était superbe. Je donnerais à L'Atelier une note de 10 étoiles sur une échelle de 5 étoiles. Ils sont la perfection! read more
Ambiance: Really chic !! It was a really nice and fun ambiance! Loud music very busy amd crowded .. popular place so we kind of went in with very low expectations since it sounded like a club/ lounge and looking at the menu we're like how the hell will they serve us this food in such a busy/ bumpy place lol... however, I was amazed at how Amazing the service was ! We were seated way in the back back where there was some sort Of dining area for people to sit and chill. SERVICE : A1 !!!!! Justin was really attentive, I was so shocked he could remember everything we were ordering and how his ears were super attentive,.... the place was so loud but everything we ordered got perfectly delivered to our table. Menu looked DELICIOUS!!! And I must say The food really was deeelicious ! Our food was amazing Just wished they had better oyster options! (Bigger and "meatier") However, everything was Incredibly AMAZING ! Soup of the day awesome, My general tao cauliflower super totally recommend Tartar was alright but very pricey 30$? For like litterally 50g of tuna very cheap on that dish so dont recommend it Overall, service was surprisingly VERY FAST!!! Food came out very quick and drinks as well!! Amazing place and totally recommend it in a heartbeat! read more
We came here during lunch time and were able to get a seat right away outside without a reservation. We looked at their menu and their tapas looked amazing, unfortunately we only got their daily lunch menu. The food was good and so was the service. Would come back here again if we ever visit QC. They brought out bread and butter with a side of different hot sauces. We ordered the Fried Mac & Cheese, General Tsoas Chicken, and Tartare of the Day. Would come back here to eat again. Fried Mac & Cheese: I wish there were more than three small squares of these. They were perfectly crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside. General Tsoa's Chicken: The chicken was tender and juicy. The sauce was nice and not overly sweet. It came with crisp veggies on top of rice. It was a nice dish, but I felt it was on the smaller side. Tartare: This was very good. We didn't know what kind of fish it was, might have been tuna. Our waitress didn't know the fish translation from French to English. I had a nice bite to it with lots of black pepper in it. Wish there was more croutons to eat with it. read more

My fiancé and I were looking for a nice dinner place during our weekend stay in Quebec and this place certainly delivered! We had reservations for 7 on a Friday night, but wandered in early looking to sit at the bar. The table was ready so we opted to sit. We were seated at a circular booth towards the back bar and it was very cozy for date night. Their cocktail menu is impressive and every drink we tried, we liked. Our server Tristan was very attentive and spoke perfect English, as we speak no French at all :( We opted for a few appetizers and meals rather than the full course table service as we do not care for tartar. We ordered the truffle Mac and cheese and onion rings to start and a couple burgers for mains. The Buffalo chicken poutine was the star of the show, although my fiancé loved his burger. We ordered churros for dessert. The sauces that come with them were very sweet. The caramel sauce tasted like melted down werthers candies. A little on the pricier side, but we were looking for somewhere nicer and we will definitely be back! read more
We were on Grand Allee street on a Sunday night and wanted to get dinner and drinks. Luckily their kitchen was open until 2 AM. The place is classy with both indoor and outdoor seating. Their cocktail menu is extensive. We loved the cocktail pitcher with Jameson base. I liked my Mutant turtle cocktail, it was Bloody Mary with a twist. My friends found the LIIT bland in flavor but it gave them a good kick. Another friend ordered Absinthe based cocktail. The best part was the Crispy Chicken Burger. Crispy yet tender. They had literally branded the burger with their logo (See pics). Best we have had till date. We also ordered a dessert trio which had creme brûlée, chocolate mouse and crumble. It was nice too. Only complaint is that we had to ask for extra plates and napkins were limited. Also, we didn't get any silverware. Our server was polite. Altogether, a good experience. read more

BEST OLD FASHIONED I EVER HAD!!!!!!!! wow! I heard they had great cocktails. So I had to try it for myself and they delivered! Before the bartender even made my drink he looked like he knew what he was doing. I was really impressed with the preparation and dedication he put into making my old fashioned. It had the perfect ratio of everything and I can actually taste the bourbon with the bitters! He made it perfect. He sliced off some peel from an orange and rubbed the oils onto the edge of my glass and also lit the orange zest oils over a match making that fancy spark of fire over my drink since the oils are flammable. Now that's what I call experience! I will definitely be back for that old fashioned! If you want cocktails, this place is a must! I only had and app here so I can tell comment on the food, but those onion rings were very delicious! read more

My sister and I discovered L'Atelier while searching for a restaurant to have dinner in after being outside at the Carnavale all afternoon-it was a perfect find and probably our fave on our trip visiting Québec City. Casual, trendy, very welcoming with exceptional service and delicious food & cocktails. My sister had the bison tartare and I had the veal short rib. The menu felt Canadian in terms of dishes and ingredients but it also felt unique from other places we tried. The cocktails were also perfect! It was hard to choose from the extensive menu. And whomever designed the place should get an award - it's got this cool, hip, industrial feel but is also very warm and inviting. Really like the multi-level design. And the menu design is beautiful (sorry, advertising design nerd!). Definitely recommend stopping in for a cocktail or bite to eat if you're visiting Quebec! read more

I have had many tuna tartare over my travels but the tuna tartare at L'Atelier is the best I have ever had. I had to make a special trip back to Quebec City just to have it. Service is always top notch and welcoming. Great cocktails also! A must in Quebec city read more

We sat down at the bar for drinks while we waited for a table to open, but the bartenders seemed to be intentionally ignoring us? It was confusing, but they were friendly enough when we got their attention. Once we were seated, service was mediocre but attentive enough, considering they were busy. Food was excellent all around though! My sister and I split the sliders and green bean salad. We loved the food and atmosphere, but the staff would benefit from acting a little more interested in their customers! read more
After doing some research on other parts of the city, we came across this place as being good for trendy nightlife and food. I wouldn't say it was amazing for either, but it was better for nightlife. We sat outside at one of their many tables and ordered a few dishes. They have a very extensive drink menu which consist of two huge pages. I had an old fashioned, which was very average... Food wise, we started with the pork poutine for appetizer, which wasn't very good. There wasn't much gravy and overall the dish was just ok. Considering the big punch that poutine is supposed to provide, this was disappointing. I then had a chicken sandwich, which was just ok as well. It was definitely a hearty piece of meat, but there wasn't anything special about it. The vibe was much more impressive than the food. Both inside and outside were upbeat and fun. The inside was a bar set up, music and a few tables set up for group drinks. They also had a decent drink selection. The crowd is a bit on the younger side, fyi. Overall I'd say this is a cool place to come grab drinks, but not really anything else. It's away from old Quebec, which is worth venturing away from if visiting. However, I would definitely recommend getting food elsewhere as everything here seems to be average. read more

My long awaited trip to sample different Tartares. Bison , beef, salmon and Tuna. Delicious sampling of flavors that woke up my taste buds one by one. A place to revisit for sure. Personal and friendly service. read more
Raw foods is one category of food I love the most, so I was very excited to try this place! The tartares were fresh and you could taste the quality. The interior design is VERY cool; it's dim, but with many light decorations, and looks beautiful. There are THREE floors, but the upper ones were not available that day. Washrooms are on the second floor. What I ordered: - Cocktails (Zelda and le Disco): They are not weak, but they could be stronger. Very well made. - 2 salmon tartare: I preferred this one over the bison as it was less chewy and had more taste. - Bison tartare: Although delicious, this tasted extremely light and I found myself wishing it was saltier (which never happens with restaurants)! - Bison Tataki: the portion was somewhat small, it was 5 slices; however, it was very fresh and went well with the sauce. Next time I will get the scallop ceviche! Overall, I had an enjoyable experience here and there is a lot of people watching to be done if you sit near the bar. read more
Busy on a Wednesday ! It's amazing ! And it's 11:49pm ! I didn't want to take the time to really read the cocktail menu... so I asked the bar tender to make anything with cognac. And omg his drinks are amazing! There's no name cause he made it up and I know it'll be a creeper ! They speak pretty good English too ! So its all good here !! read more
