I’ve visited Dinette Atomique several times since they opened in late summer. I’m consistently impressed by both the food and the welcoming service. It’s a charming little restaurant tucked into a residential area. Think of an old house, with music plays on the vynil player, vintage wooden chairs and marble table in every corner.
A coffee is a must for me: their espresso machine is a beauty, and the cappuccino ($5.75) never disappoints. For snacks, I find the pork spring rolls ($9) outstanding: crunchy, juicy, savory, clearly house-made, and wrapped in romaine with cilantro and mint for a bright, fresh contrast. My friends and I ordered a second round because they were that good.
On another visit, the owner recommended the soup of the day ($12) which ended up being one of the most memorable dishes I’ve had there. That day it was a rich, perfectly spiced Thai coconut curry soup.
The Banh Mi Muffaletta ($15) was an interesting, filling twist on the classic, swapping the baguette for delicious focaccia while keeping the pickled carrots. The corned beef sandwich ($18) was also excellent. Instead of the usual canned-style meat, it features sliced, likely house-made beef with mayo, mustard, and pickles, plus a small Banh Mi–inspired side salad.
Most recently, I tried the Bento Bowl ($18) with the daily meat (chicken on that day). It was sweet, savory, and refreshing, with crunchy rice, cashews, greens, aubergine, cucumber, and a ginger note that tied everything together.
