This was our third visit to this restaurant and although the first two visits were excellent, the most recent visit far exceeded our expectations. The cocktails, service and most importantly, the food were all perfection. The oxtail was one of the best dishes I have had and reminded me of Brasserie L’ecole at its peak. Simple ingredients executed masterfully plated beautifully. Well done Chef! The service is attentive without being rushed or intrusive. This place is a gem and should be a staple for anyone who enjoys fine dining but doesn’t want to make the journey to downtown Victoria.

My mom and I went for her 75th birthday. We both thought it was great. Good atmosphere, cozy, fantastic friendly service, and the food was all top notch. I’ll definitely be going again in the near future and recommend highly.

Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe my experience at Atelier in Sidney.
The service by Cade was beyond anything I’ve experienced – his brilliant demeanour and knowledge of all the dishes and drinks were top notch.
The food we had were the following; freshly made bread + whipped butter, the decadent prawns , chicken pot pie and 3-course tasting menu (pork belly, stunning scallops and he best chocolate torte I have ever tasted.
I can’t say enough about this food and service.
Our only hiccup was the cold draft coming in – but the food and service was so good, that we can overlook.
We can’t wait to come back!!
Thank you for an amazing experience!!

Menu was quite limited with only 4 options for mains. Having said that I had the Chicken 2 ways. Delightful. My husband had the saddle of lamb. Again excellent. I had Creme brûlée which is why this gets 4 stars. It was not a well executed dish. The brûlée was burnt and bitter. The custard was minuscule and had been prepared with cornstarch. A very sad example of a classic dish every French restaurant should be able to prepare to perfection. I am a appetizer and dessert girl. The beginning and ending of the meal are to me supposed to be and often are the best examples of a chef’s creativity. They nailed the first and missed the last. ♀️

Matt and his team opened their restaurant so 16 of us (friends and family) could celebrate our mother’s birthday. We had the whole restaurant and it could not have been a better evening. The food (prime rib) was fantastic and more than ample in size. Salad was fresh and delicious and the Creme Brulé dessert was over the top. The ambiance was perfect and the serving and kitchen staff were both profession and attentive. Thank you for a great evening, we are looking forward to our next visit.

✨ Where art meets food. ✨
L’Atelier is a little treasure tucked away in the heart of Sidney. Sophisticated and intimate, it’s the perfect spot for a special occasion. The menu is refined and thoughtfully crafted—a true delight for the connoisseur. A beautiful experience where every detail feels intentional. Highly recommend!

Came with a group of three. Left united in one rare achievement: none of us liked a single dish — and somehow still hungry.
Appetizers:
The tartare arrived looking like it was rationed during wartime. Tiny portion, zero excitement. Nothing to write a poem about—unless it’s a haiku about disappointment.
The crab rolls had a bold name and questionable execution. Was there crab in there? Hard to tell. Mostly felt like two pieces of bread having an identity crisis.
Mains (after a casual 1.5-hour wait):
• Lamb: Tasted… suspicious. “Not fresh” is the polite version.
• Cod: Technically edible. Entirely forgettable.
• Salmon: Honestly impressive in the worst way. How do you mess up salmon? It takes effort, and they committed.
Signature cocktails:
Equally underwhelming. If these are the “signature” drinks, that’s not a signature I’d want to keep.
Not worth the time or the price. Would not return.

Four of us ate dinner at L’Atelier last evening. While the server was courteous, the service itself was extremely slow. We waited at least an hour for our dishes to arrive and we were almost late for our 7 pm concert after arriving before 5. We did not have time to order dessert.
The beef and lamb were passable but my salmon and my sister’s scallops were anything but. The presentation of my salmon was atrocious. The salmon was mushy inside a crusted shell and it was accompanied by a thick insipid pink sauce adorned with a few interspersed beet slices. My sister’s scallops were tiny and tasteless.
In short, it was a very disappointing and expensive restaurant experience. We all enjoyed the Van Morrison concert, thank goodness.

Unpretentious high-end restaurant with great food. Well presented, excellent flavors, and solid wine list. Seats about 30 people. If you want to treat yourself and a friend, come here.
I had the halibut and the brie appetizer, and a very nice rose.
