L'ATELIER TARTARES & COCKTAILS
624, Grande Allée E, Québec, G1R 2K5
L'Atelier Tartares & Cocktails is located on Grande-Allée in the heart of Quebec City. An industrial decor with a chic and casual feel awaits you.
The cocktail menu is divided into sections allowing you to choose between your tastes and what you want between bitter, sour, sweet, herbaceous, or umami. They even have their own signature hard liquor like absinthe, vodka, bubbly and mechanical gin from the Atelier. Most recipes are available by the glass, but the pitcher can order some.
On the food side, they specialize in tartars and, trust us, they are excellent! They can be ordered as an appetizer or as a meal. If you want to nibble while sipping your drink, the appetizers are a perfect accompaniment. We think of the oysters or the duo of dips.
Whether it's for an aperitif, a happy hour (which goes on forever), or a meal, you'll have a great time!
