Atelier offers an interesting experience, with a blind, 13-course tasting menu and food created in a laboratory, not a traditional kitchen. Some examples of our tastings included flash-frozen coconut, flash-boiled bison, food prepared on an "anti-griddle", wafers made of dehydrated honey, etc.
Beyond that, I don't want to ruin the surprises, which really is what the experience is about.
Our party was there for about 4.5 hours. All 4 of us did the blind tasting and 2 of us also had the wine pairing option.
We were underwhelmed, despite going into the experience with great anticipation. The food was interesting but rarely tasty - only 4 or 5 of the 13 courses stand out as very tasty. The wine pairings were *very* poorly done, with only one truly successful pairing. For the price, we expected a far greater experience in terms of flavours and taste, although it was very interesting to experience familiar flavours in unusual preparations.
The service was attentive, friendly, informed, if sometimes a bit over-eager to impress.
A good experience to have but unfortunately not one that any of the 4 of us would repeat, and not one that I'd take a friend to for, say, a birthday treat.
13-course tasting menu: $75/person

Fantastic evening spent at the Urban Pear. Mojito's to die for. The menu was exciting with a wonderful selection of appetizers and mains. No one at the table was disappointed. The fusion of flavours was amazing. Very inventive and fresh, fresh, fresh. All restaurants in the future will be measured against this meal.Read more

This restaurant was a pleasant experience. All the guest of my party thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes they chose. The kitchen and serving team were very quick and effective, although they may not serve a party of 8 every day the service was just as if we were a party of 2.Read more

This restaurant is such a contradiction. It has the potential to become the best restaurant in Ottawa (if not the country). All the elements are in place. Awesome, atmosphere, great staff (mostly), and good food. The only stick in the ointment is a single toxic personality in the guise of a server, who seems intent on destroying all of that and ensuring that you never come back. She's a bit older than the other servers (who are all excellent), but this is not about age. Irene's up the road seems like an older crowd of patrons and servers, but they are awesome...but I digress, this not about Irene's, I just wanted to show that the contradiction at Patty's boils down to one personality. It's a real pity, because everything and everyone else there is out of this world.Read more
