    Well done! Don’t overlook the bread starter. Made on site, served with salted butter and infused olive oil. We had ours with olives. My wife had the duck and I had the lamb. Both were excellent. Very nicely done. A French flair with Edith Piaf music in the background! Thanks.

    Outstanding food and atmosphere. Prices and portion sizes were great. Fabulous music and great service. Noticed all the little details with the presentation and the tableware. So glad we came across this restaurant while we were visiting Sidney, BC from Ontario. It made our anniversary dinner extra special. Thanks for the complimentary champagne!! Look forward to visiting again when we are in the area. Will highly recommend this restaurant to any friends or family visiting Sidney!!

    We had a great experience at Atelier. The cocktails were excellent as was the house wines that we tried. We tried some happy hour items and the halibut main. The halibut was superb

    Food preparation was poor. Ordered the duck for main, and everything was dry. Wasn’t a chef prepared meal at all! Super disappointed

    Personable and well informed server who could help me adapt the chef’s delicious entrees for my allergy. Food quality is excellent, dishes are creative without being overdone.

    SPECTACULAR!!! We did happy hour and tried an array of chef's specialties...everything was "top drawer" awesome and an experience definitely to be repeated. ALSO sampled several of the specialty cocktails which were divine. This is a must dining experience, a hidden secret in Sidney by the Sea!!!
