Review Atlas - Wellington

Very hip new wine bar that also does great cocktails. Food is incredible, maybe because it is prepared in the ex-Atlas kitchen, and the wait staff are very attentive. The DJ and pink lighting all make it a cool new place worth checking out!

Thanks Ben Carmine for the recommendation. The food is thoughtfully prepared with flavour combinations that are lovely... definately a hidden gem in wellington... The wine list is vast and with some catchy little numbers...

Had our Christmas party at Plonk this week & what a fun vibe. Lots of tasty treats leading up to a delicious lunch that was well received. Exceptional wines on offer, just remember to hydrate with jugs of water.

Top restaurant and dining experience. The food was brilliant and the 7 different courses made it a fun experience in itself waiting to see and then explore what each of the unique foods were. The staff are attentive and gave us a quieter table in an alcove as requested ahead of the booking so my lady and I could have more privacy and less background chatter. We will be back for sure.

Dined here on recommendation from a friend, and it was really good. The atmosphere was top notch, mostly because we had a great spot at the chefs table. Really impressed by how immaculate, organised and calm the kitchen was. The seasonal three course menu was well presented and tasty (the malt butter should be patented and sold to the highest bidder!) and the FOH staff were attentive and knowledgeable. Mixed feedback on the wine from some of our party but all in all pretty great night.

We went for a celebratory birthday dinner and had the chef's tasting menu. We were very impressed not only with the food and presentation but also with the flow and balance. All the dishes served were precise and refined. Loved the king fish tartare and the fennel salad. The gurnard also is worth mentioning. My husband and son had the lamb saddle and that also deserves a mention for how perfectly cooked it was. The service was impeccable. Ticked all the boxes for us!

Atlas definitely held up to our (high) expectations... Enormous thought and care has been taken to create an exceptional and memorable epicurean experience. It was the perfect choice to celebrate my 50th birthday and my partner’s 64th! With an exquisitely curated fresh and seasonal tasting menu and equally impressive wine list, the pleasure factor was intense from start to finish! The ambience was one of relaxed simple elegance, underpinned by an appealing timeless feel and youthful energy, which we happily luxuriated in for many hours. Of special note, last but not least: Atlas’s ‘dream team’ of hospitality professionals... The vibrant, knowledgeable and passionate young team set the bar incredibly high. They delivered an outstanding hospitality experience that was in every sense lush and seamless in its execution. Everyone on the Team we witnessed impressed us, but extra special mention goes to Duna, whose warmly welcoming, innately joyful, serene and impeccable manner set the tone for the evening, and Jeremy, our articulate, generous and charming Host and Sommelier, whose deep knowledge of wine and food matching engaged us every step of the way and guided us through an exciting, surprising and pleasurable journey of indulgence. We were utterly charmed and completely fell in love with Atlas! Recommend highly to anyone who genuinely appreciates good wine and food, and a relaxed yet chic, world class hospitality experience! Warmest regards and all our thanks, Prue Steele and Ellen McPherson

Absolutely lovely evening. Took a couple of hours to get through our menu, so it's not really the kinda place you go to for a quick bite. However, if you want to chill out in a nice atmosphere and escape the hustle and bustle with great food and drinks, this is your place. All the staff were super lovely and had a real passion for their craft. They alone are worth a visit. Menu was quirky, delicious and well explained. Deceptively filling as well 🤣

Intimate and inviting space, friendly and knowledgeable wait staff. We had the 7 course degustation - an incredible flavour and texture experience. The standouts were the unctuous and rich caviar bites, tender and marbled wagyu steak, and the petit four (not pictured) which was the most delightfully decadent way to finish off the meal. To do this restaurant justice, you have to do the dégustation!

It’s not often you eat somewhere and become enamoured with the food and overall experience as you do at Atlas, from the gorgeous oysters to start to the beautiful deserts and everything in between. You really do feel like a real foodie when hearing descriptions of all the food and wine your enjoying. Great way to top off a special week, make sure you check it out!

Incredible service, very talented team & great vibes ✨✨✨

Wow! What an amazing selection of organic wines! Very helpful staff and the background dj music was so chilled. Highly recommend

An absolutely stunning evening off food. The closest comparison would be amano in Auckland or London’s fine food establishments. Treat yourself to a local gourmet feast.

We were fortunate enough to have tea here tonight. The food was beautiful, cooked to perfection. The staff were pleasant, friendly and knowledgable. The food is a selection of local and organic products, we had the lemon sole and the wagyu rump, both were just lovely. They have a unique cider collection and I recommend at least trying each one of them. One of the finest dining experiences in Wellington, look forward to our return visit.

Superb set menu with options. Gorgeous flavours, local ingredients and lovely ambiance. Would certainly recommend for a special dinner in Wellington.

stunning food. amazing service. do need a little more info on source of product. but it's a very minor niggle after a very memorable dinner.
