Atelier
A famous modern restaurant founded by Chef Marc Lepine in 2008, topping Ottawa's Top 50 list.
Founded by Chef Marc Lepine in 2008, Atelier specializes in a molecular gastronomy-style tasting menu and was ranked 54th in Canada's 100 Best Restaurants for 2026. The official website and OpenTable currently list a 7-course tasting menu for 250 CAD per person, lasting about three hours; however, multiple third-party sources and reviews still mention a 40-course small-plate format. The exact menu format should be confirmed at the time of booking. It is only open Wednesday to Saturday evenings, and reservations must be made in advance via OpenTable or by phone. The restaurant is located on Rochester Street, about 3 km from the city center, and taking a taxi is recommended.
