Interesting concept restaurant offering a travel-inspired dining experience by the head chef, Charlie. Atlas presents different cuisines he encountered during his 8-month trip through 15 countries. The set menu changes every four month to the cuisine of a different country and this time, it was Indian.It went from Smoked Mackerel Bhelpuri, House-Made Paneer Cheese, Grilled Octopus, Duck Thali, and lastly, Gulab Jamun. My personal favourites were Mackerel Bhelpuri and Grilled Octopus.
I was born and raised in Busan, Korea (Yes, Busan from Train to Busan. So you know I'm hard) so I might be a bit biased but I rather enjoyed distinctive flavours of the mackerel. Loved that smokey mackerel flavours which went beautifully together with sweet potatoe and yogurt. Great starter.
Octopus was grilled with some sort of Indian seasoning - mildly spicy if I remember correctly. I was impressed how tender it was because I've been told that it requires a great deal of effort to cook it perfectly. Inside the panipuri, there was this minty sauce which you can pour over to give you that extra kick. Duck Thali was also delicious with the perfect amount of fat attached to each piece but kinda wished curry had more of that good ol'authentic Indian flavours. Overall, decent experience! Would love to try again in a few months.
Another excellent experience at Atlas dining. Cannot stop raving about this place to anyone who asks me where to go for fine food. Charlie the head chef always gets the set menu right. Amazing gastronomic experience. Highly recommend the wine pairing. Can not fault this place at all, lovely friendly attentive staffs, and the atmosphere is great. Can’t wait for the next country set menu experience. Will always be back.
I have been to Atlas 4 times and have enjoyed it each and every time. Most recently we had the Lebanese menu which left us salivating over the chicken kibbe. The food is delicious at Atlas and very reasonably priced. I truly commend Charlie and the team on their ability to change cuisines every 4 months. Learning new dishes and techniques is not an easy task, and at Atlas they're able to execute this so well. Looking forward to coming in again!
