L'Atelier des Quais sur Cognac

Fantastic welcome! Everything is done to make your visit enjoyable. Great food. Well done!

After we were assigned a table, we sat waiting for at least 20 minutes for a member of staff to place an order... given the pace of the staff, we then just left for another restaurant, and there the delicious food and drinks were on the table within 20.

Absolutely delicious, the duck breast was a delight. I'll definitely be back.

Excellent service and very good food, I highly recommend it.

Exquisite cuisine. The octopus with black garlic is succulent.

A very nice restaurant in a great location, the waitress was very kind and accommodating, and the food was delicious.

Very warm welcome, friendly staff, very good meal. Consider bringing some gluten-free options... make your sauces with cornstarch, for example...

A truly wonderful discovery! The setting is delightful, whether you're inside or on the terrace overlooking the Charente River, with an atmosphere that's both calm and welcoming. The menu is varied and makes you want to try everything. The dishes are of high quality, with the chef's cooking techniques perfectly mastered, which makes all the difference. A special mention also goes to the desserts, subtle and perfectly balanced, just the right touch to end the meal on a high note. A huge thank you to the entire team, attentive and proactive, who helped us organize a successful surprise birthday party! In short, an excellent place where you feel right at home… and where we can't wait to return.

Food was generally disapointing. Sloppy presentations and overcooked duck and steak. Nothing special at all. Nice terrace and good service

Second time at this establishment, and a little disappointed in some ways. The appetizer was served too quickly; I was only halfway through my cocktail. Having also worked in the restaurant industry as a waiter, I can say the tuna tataki was good, but the presentation was unacceptable… a shame. The octopus and squid dish was beautifully presented and truly excellent! The chocolate fondant was also very good, no complaints there. A minor negative point regarding the service: we ordered a bottle of wine, and they opened it and placed it on the table… we weren't offered a taste or served it, which was a shame. In any case, it's a very nice place to eat or work. I'll definitely come back to try the terrace, and I hope I won't be disappointed again, as it has a lot of potential. The service needs to be a little more attentive to the customers.
