Reviewers describe Taverne Atlantic as a visually appealing, lively spot with an inviting atmosphere that works well for groups, friends, or a romantic evening, where the open kitchen and energetic vibe add to the experience; the menu includes pizzas and creative bites with fresh toppings that many praise, though a few dishes come up short and some reviews mention miscommunications about the menu; cocktails and wine are often highlighted as standouts, yet prices are sometimes high; service ranges from friendly and professional to busier, rushed, or inconsistent during peak times, and wait times can be long for larger groups or when reservations after hours are not available; the rooftop terrace and overall ambience contribute to a memorable night, but the acoustics can be loud when crowded, making it feel like a place to plan a visit rather than drop in on a whim.
This is one of those "technically (& in this case, actually very much) a bar, but the kitchen is so good it may as well be a restaurant" places. Great wine & beer selections, cool space, friendly service, & the food is a whole thing. We had the pizza with homemade'nduja, the kale salad & the salmon rillettes, & they were all bonkers. Looking forward to coming back.

This place is an awesome for dinner & drinks, if you're willing to sit it out & wait. No reservations means potential lengthy waiting times. They've figured it out though, with their side bar in the entrance where you can have a drink & appetizers while waiting for a seat. If you're lucky & weather is nice, try & get a seat outside on the rooftop patio, for a more loud & fun atmosphere saty indoors & enjoy all the amazing pizzas on the menu. Great menu & food for sharing with large group of friends, staff will also easily split the bill & do the difficult math.
Très beau restaurant, la nourriture est bonne, surtout la pizza. Les cocktails aussi délicieux. Nous avions une place au bar & avons demandé d'être placées sur la terrasse lorsque disponible. Mon review général reflete ces deux expériences assez différentes : Au bar : Les employés très gentils, notre serveuse faisait des suivis fréquemment, on nous apportaient de la nourriture. Lorsqu'est venu le temps de le déplacer à la terrasse... (lire la suite) À la terrasse : très belle terrasse couverture, belle atmosphère, il est bien d'être à l'extérieur, cependant nous avons dû apportez nos verres & assiettes vers la terrasse & tout le monde a contribué, ce qui était correct, toutefois nous n'avions pas eu d'eau pendant une longue durée de temps sur la terrasse... éventuellement, on nous a apporté des verres d'eau sur la terrasse & un refill de caraffe d'eau. Le refill de caraffe d'eau goûtait différent & l'eau était tiède un peu & ne goûtait pas bon. Ensuite, nous voulions commander d'autres cocktails, mais ça a pris beaucoup de temps pour 1) demander le menu de boissons à nouveau & 2) attirer l'attention de la serveuse pour commander. Il se peut que la terrasse cette journée-là était sous-desservie, peut-être qu'il manquait quelqu'un au shift & donc le staff ne pouvait pas porter attention à tout le monde, mais c'était ça l'expérience, ce qui explique le 3/5 du côté service à mon review. Le service à l'intérieur du restaurant cependant était parfait, 5/5.
Great spot with beautiful interior design, spacious rooftop terrace, & a great selection of drinks & quick bites. The pizzas really surprised me here, in the best way! Recommend the champi & gigi, you won't be disappointed!
Drinks & vibes were good, staff was super kind, but the pizza is a bit overpriced. Hot dogs are very good. We got moved to the rooftop & service went downhill - We were a little disappointed to discover once we all got home that despite us listing our orders to the waitress before they got the bill, not one of our drink orders was correctly charged & had to solve this with e-transfers. This was inconvenient & very surprising
Waiters & waitress are very friendly & atmosphere is super nice. I had beers & some snacks. Pizza was good. Didn't feel squeezed even bar was full because of high ceilings. Definitely will go back!
Un service d'une intelligence très fine. Les plats sont bien travaillés. La pâte à pizza un peu plus fine serait le top. Sélection de bières & spiritueux incroyable. Bravo à vous.
L'endroit est magnifique, les cocktails dont délicieux & le service est très efficace & attentionné. Très bon endroit pour un verre & grignoter de la bouffe style cantine & pizza mais haut de gamme !
Vraiment un bel endroit. J'ai adoré mon expérience. Belle ambiance, bonne musique & surtout bonne bouffe. Nous avons pris l'entrée Bruxelles Buffalo, qui était excellente, & 2 pizzas, la "Kale" & la "Pizza Gigi". 10/10 pour les pizzas, sans hésiter. Ils ne prennent pas de réservation, nous étions 2 & nous avons attendu environ 20-25 min pour être assis. L'attente en a vallu la peine. Je recommande & j'y retournerai sans hésiter pour essayer la terrasse.
The place is absolutely stunning.. it ressemble a café in Havana city. The music was nice The a/c just right , not too cold not too hot. We asked to change table & they complied. So far so good... the service was particularly slow (all the tables were full, granted) it took a long time for the waiter to come take our orders. Even longer to get our drinks (they were delicious)... & then about 30 mins before our food. We ordered authentic Italian pizza (with italian sausages) & fancy pogos. It was pretty good but we didn't get much meat on the pizza (grr!) We went to the terrace afterward... I preferred the dining room but the vibe is different outside... we witnessed an amazing couché de soleil. The waitress on the terrace was not too friendly & messed up our bills. She was upset when I pointed it out to her.. All & all the place is nice but because of the long wait & unfriendly waiters... I would maybe go again at a less busy time... maybe.
I absolutely adore this spot. In my neighbourhood. With a fabulous roof top, delicious pizza & a cool hip 40s style interior. What else could once ask for?
