Its two floors and flexible design make it a canvas for public curated events as well as private gatherings.

Cultural events
Atelier Code Noir is a cultural space centered around food in all its forms. Our vision is rooted in community, working closely with diasporic chefs and artists to co-create events that function as a “third space” for connection, creativity, and collective experience.
If you are a chef, content creator, artist, or creative practitioner in need of a space to bring your ideas to life, we invite you to get in touch. We are here to discuss, develop, and make it happen.
A versatile space
The beauty of Atelier Code Noir lies in its versatility. The ground floor functions as a full industrial kitchen, perfect for intimate dinners, large-scale catering, cooking workshops, or culinary content creation. But it's equally at home as a photo studio, film set, or gathering space for talks and celebrations.
Upstairs, the possibilities multiply. Host an art exhibition, set up a temporary studio, run a workshop, or transform it into whatever your project demands. The space bends to your needs, not the other way around.
From a chef testing a new concept to a creative team producing content, from community gatherings to private celebrations, if you can imagine it, the space can hold it.
