Atelier Take over [General]

2012 Jan 17
Info from the blog.

n order to compete in the Canadian Culinary Championship in Kelowna, we have to be away the weekend of February 9th, 10th, and 11th. This means closing the restaurant over those dates, as we just don't have the staff to compete and operate Atelier at the same time. Upon learning this, Chef Matt Carmichael from restaurant 18 proposed that he and a handful of chefs put on a dinner here while we're away. And then a handful of chefs became 23 of Ottawa's best, and one dinner became three. Each of the chefs is preparing one course on the menu. Start time is 6:30 each night. Cost is $150 which includes a $50 donation to the Ottawa Food Bank. Reservations by phone at 613.321.3537.
