Atlas Dining

Atlas continues to be one of our favourite Melbourne restaurants that we return to again and again. No matter the cuisine, the quality of the meal and experience is always exceptional and great value for a meal of this standard! Make sure you get to try the Greek menu before it ends! One of my favourites thus far!! (Couple of photos attached - food was so good that in my excitement to eat I forgot to take more photos!)

The best fine dining restaurant I've visited in Melbourne. From the wait staff, chefs, and, of course, food, everything was a perfectly harmonized experience focusing on and paying homage to Indonesian cuisine. The 5 course meal was bursting with some new and some familiar flavors, textures, and color. Highlights for me included the "Snacks" second course, which consisted of 6 different bite-sized morsels (the betel nut leaf was my favorite), and the chicken-two-ways fourth course. The dessert course also left a wonderful lasting impression with the coconut cream with pandan lime gel, fermented glutinous rice ice cream, and grilled jackfruit. The meal was well-paced, and I enjoyed that the chefs presented each beautiful dish and explained the ingredients and cooking techniques. What is evident is that everyone who works at Atlas deeply cares about the luscious food and the restaurant as a whole, making this an exceptional dining experience.

Wow. My wife and I were here tonight for the opening of the Indonesian summer 2023 menu, and it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in my entire life. From pre-starter to desert, the 5 course taster menu is absolutely flawless. Boasting traditional Indonesian spices (half of which I'd never heard of, but was delighted to taste none the less), wide range of textures, and beautiful presentation, this is simply not one to miss. the atmosphere is classy, yet simple and comfortable. The staff are lovely, accommodating, and to top it all off, the chefs bring the dishes out themselves, running you through the flavour delight you're about to indulge. (bringing a very welcome personal feeling to the evening!) If not for the classy vibes, I would've been licking each plate clean, the flavours holding me captive, so much so, I didnt even want to sip my drink between dishes and wash away the symphony left in my mouth! LOVE LOVE LOVED it deserves 7 stars, but 5 will have to do. Until next time, my friends. I can't wait.

Very interesting combination of ingredients and flavours, combined with theme of the the menu, brought a lot of surprises. Everything was fun to enjoy. The service was quite slow as the night was fully booked out. It took quite a while to get seated even though we arrive on time. The fist snack came after we were seated for 30 minutes.

I had an amazing experience at Atlas! The restaurant serves changing menus, and I was lucky enough to try their Spain menu - every dish was explained to me and it felt like a truly immersive experience. The people serving us were friendly and welcoming too, answering all our questions graciously. I loved the fact that they give out passports and boarding passes - such a unique and fun touch! I also visited during a Taiwanese food appreciation menu, which was a wonderful interpretation of Taiwanese cuisine. Finally, the Italian menu and wine pairing was phenomenal and I felt really well taken care of by the Atlas team. I highly recommend this restaurant for a unique and tasty experience!

Lovely venue and a great concept, but unfortunately the Taiwanese menu did not hit all the right notes. The first two courses started strong, but unfortunately the heavier dishes lacked complexity and the dessert was also a little flat. The biggest disappointment was the three cup chicken inspired duck dish - the protein was well cooked enough but the sauce lacked depth and left us unsure of the connection to the original inspiration
