Atlas Dining

Food was amazing and creative. It was a set menu and the timing of each dish was good. Suggest you read the good food review to learn about the chef and the monthly change of the whole Menu.

Thank-you for being so accommodating for us! Really helped make the birthday celebrations special'

I’ve been dining at Atlas for every country they’ve been to thus far and now I’ve been twice to their take on Australia. Between the first and second time I’ve been to Australia was a gap of almost 2 months. During this time, almost the entire menu has been altered to some degree, save for the potato cakes and tartare sauce which has been the highlight both times I’ve been. To be honest, the first Australia experience I had was a bit disappointing. I found the service to be lacking, the food to be below par given my previous dining experiences here, and the heart of the place really gone. To Atlas’ credit, upon reading my initial review they were quick to follow up with a phone call. Genuinely wanting to know how they went wrong that evening and what they could do in the future to ensure an experience like that did not repeat itself. I finished the phone call impressed by their proactivity in trying to understand the situation and being entirely empathetic and authentic in their response. I’m pleased to say that my second dining experience for Australia was exceptional, and returned to the roots of what Atlas is all about. Service was excellent, attentive but not over bearing. You were never left wanting for more or less. The restaurant manager displayed great knowledge of the matched wines on offer. Also worth mentioning that there was a marked improvement in the cocktails on offer. The chilli margarita was fantastic. Probably some of the best cocktails that Atlas has put on their menu since I’ve been dining here. Onto the food, a huge improvement. It returned to the Atlas of old - creative, refined and delicious. Highlight was the mussel with XO sauce, potato cakes (of course) and their improved interpretation of the sausage sizzle (it was much more refined than the first iteration I had 2 months ago). A triumphant return indeed, improvements all across the board. But what I’m most impressed with is the genuine and authentic response from their restaurant manager - it’s really bloody nice when restaurants genuinely care about what customers are saying. Thumbs up Atlas, I will be back for Singapore.

The food was just out of this world. The head chef has done a great job to bring the diversity of Australian culture on the menu. You’ll find twists on classic dishes throughout the dining experience. And the service was just excellent!

INDIA: What an overall amazing experience this restaurant is. From the service to the food to the interior everything is absolute sensory perfection. This was our first ever fine dining experience and we were worried we may be hungry afterwards, but after many beautiful and flavour-packed courses were were completely satisfied. Chef and owner @charliesatlas even serves your dessert which is such a humble final touch. The 6 course menu goes for only $85. Atlas changes cuisine every four months. India ends 20th Feb and then Australia begins, so get in quick, run don’t walk!! AUSTRALIA Just dined with their Australian Menu. I believe this one was 5 courses and was more expensive at $90, it was lovely but I do feel it wasn’t as good the previous country in terms of flavour or value. Especially loved the kingfish and the potato cake, thought the cocktails were overly strong. Service is always amazing. Will be back for the next country!

Not super impressed by the food and experience. The starter that has the kingfish was great then it all went down. Kangaroo meat was chewy and tasteless. Some of the dishes were quite confusing yet don’t have the interesting characters. Did the matching wine menu as well but the wines didn’t really compliment the food. Overall, 3.5.

Amazing food and service! Did not expect dishes to taste so amazing and combine that with excellent service makes an awesome night! Definitely worth trying and coming back for more!

Great experience from the menu, to the food served, to the service. The staff were really helpful with a table of different dietry requirements and made sure everyone had a good time.

Atlas is hands down the best degustation dining experience in Melbourne...and I've sat through many! Charlie's vision of bringing menu's from around the world into his restaurant is innovative and fun and just what Melbourne (let alone Australia) has been needing. It has become such a special place, that at least every few months a large group of girlfriends and I have booking to enjoy each Country/Menu twice! It's not pretentious fine dining, but it has class and sophistication without noses stuck in the air and that's what makes it all the better. They also stock the worlds best gin - Death Gin!

They change their menu every quarter but the standard of cuisine & service is consistently 10/10. You feel like you've had an experience everytime you go & it's great/different everytime.
