Small, intimate, lively and popular, Atelier Gourmet is quite simply a great little restaurant. The welcoming, neighbourhood atmosphere is matched by appealing contemporary cuisine that follows the seasons, building a subtle Asian twist onto French foundations. Diners can choose how many courses they would like from the set menu written up on the board. French labels are a favourite for the wine pairings. The women in charge of the service are exceptionally friendly and know their regulars. In fine weather, a few tables are set out on the pavement.
