This was my first time here, and we had a fantastic meal. The food was incredible, especially the soup and the briwat. The vegetarian mains were delicious and the cocktails were very refreshing. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed and we had a great chat with our host about the food and Morocco. I will be returning and I highly recommend. Thank you for a lovely evening!

We enjoyed a delicious 3 course birthday lunch at L'Atelier on Saturday 11th Feb - my first time at this still relatively new restaurant which opened in Wandsworth back in the summer - it's low key appearance from the outside belies it's cosy interior. It's superb and I highly recommend!! It's run by a wonderful husband & wife team - Philip doing front of house and Mona in the kitchen - the food is absolutely divine, a beautiful blend of freshly prepared seasonal Moroccan & Belgian dishes including a selection of mouthwatering starters to share among our group of 4, and the main dishes were also exceptional, with a perfectly accompanied wine selection - in addition we learned that Mona is a gifted patissiere and she brought out a beautiful birthday cake for our party. There's amazing artwork on all the walls - some incredible photographic art and Moroccan influenced items, as well as a series of brilliant abstract paintings from London based Irish artist Donal Ryan (available to purchase). We'll definitely be back again soon to try some more dishes - apologies that I stupidly forgot to take photos of the food dishes while we were eating so only the cake is shown - next time I'll take food photos!
Fantastic food and the restaurant owner is soo friendly , wine is great as always , great for birthday celebrations with family . Highly recommended 👍👍
We have enjoyed two wonderful meals here. The decor is so well designed and the atmosphere so relaxed and peaceful. The service is friendly and personal. The food is so delicious! A lovely, unusual, and family-run restaurant. Would recommend highly.
An absolute gem, food was incredible service was even better! Great wine too. Fantastic garden space that can be booked for events, perfect for birthdays etc. Owners could be be nicer, if you haven’t been you need to go! Thank you Philip and Mona!
A truly wonderful personal experience with beautiful wholesome cooked French cuisine. Different eclectic interior. Dog friendly

What a pleasure to have such a good restaurant in our neighbourhood! Moroccan food of excellent quality with an elegant bistro twist. Friendly and quick service and cosy atmosphere. Definitely a place to visit as often as possible!
I cannot recommend L’Atelier enough. The food was outstanding and the service, atmosphere and general experience was impeccable. This is an absolute gem and one of my favourite dining experiences in London.
Bravo L’Atelier team - you have built something amazing and I will definitely be coming back soon!
Amazing food and experience at L'atelier! We went for lunch and every dish we had was absolutely delicious. Great flavors, fresh ingredients and awesome food - the focaccia, biryani, couscous and lemon and chocolate tart were all so good. We'll definitely be back here!
Authentic Moroccan food delivered in a relaxed and comforting environment by a friendly management team that are passionate about food and wine. Highly recommend this place. Seating outside to the back.
First time here. Food was great and the host could not have been better. We had the pate and goats cheese starter and lamb/beef rib main. Such good flavours, great wine pairing all recommended by host all for such reasonable price. Recommend for anyone
Great atmosphere and great food. The only thing I am not so used to is the fragrant/smell of the restaurant when I stepped in. But it doesn’t seem like an artificial smell.
Felt very welcomed the moment we walked in. Delicious Moroccan wine and food. We shared the mezze starter as well as the chicken tagine and beef dish. Felt like we were at home. Lovely idea and lovely people.
Delicious homemade food served with a warm, welcoming smile. We enjoyed a great lunch sharing a chicken liver pate with homemade focaccia to start with followed by one chicken tagine, one lamb Berber, then to finish almond orange cake & chocolate tart on a Biscoff base. Great local gem!!
We had the pleasure to visit l’atelier, and it was a truly amazing experience, the food was exquisite, made with passion and love, I can describe it as art that you are actually able to taste, and a big thanks to mona and her husband, they are doing exceptional work, I wish I remember to take pictures of the interior as it is as good as an art gallery ✨✨✨
This was one of the stand out meals from 8 years of living in London. A great concept and delivered perfectly.
The food was astounding. Slow cooked meats, meze with homemade fresh sides - a really enjoyable menu.
Service very welcoming and contributed to a lovely environment.
L'Atelier is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to in SW London! I can't believe I haven't visited earlier. My friend from Denmark came over and I wanted to take her somewhere special. We were a few mins late which was no trouble for owner Philip who greeted us with a warm smile. I wasn't drinking and he made us the most exquisite mocktails. We shared scallops and green lentils and a chicken tagine with couscous and since it was January, just poured over the dessert menu, vowing to return when we were keen to satisfy our sweet tooth.
If there's one restaurant you try in the Balham, Wandsworth, Tooting area, try L'Atelier on Trinity Road - the vibe as soon as you step in is so chilled and Philip and Mona (who I later had the pleasure to learn is the Chef and Philip's wife) are the loveliest hosts. It's like we were transported to a little piece of Moroccan heaven for a couple of hours.
First time trying l’atelier. I was craving Moroccan food and came across Mona’s kitchen in Tooting which closed down but mentioned this branch.
The chicken tagine was delicious and authentic, I love how the takeaway boxes are compostable. My husband went to collect and said how lovely the owners are and that they are dog friendly - looking forward to coming again with doggo next time and trying other dishes.
Great atmosphere and absolutely fantastic food - we had the roast lamb & roast duck and both were absolutely divine! You can tell the proprietor really cares about the whole dining experience. We will be back for sure!
