International accolade for Atlas!

We're very excited to announce that Atlas has been recommended in the international food guideWhere Chef's Eat.

The book, published by Phaidon, is a new guide that asked the world's top chefs where they themselves like to eat. To quote the publishers:

"We observed that, when it comes to dining out, chefs go to extreme lengths in search of good food. In fact, chefs eat well or they don’t eat at all."

High praise indeed for the talented, Atlas kitchen team! We are very proud of them and thrilled to be included in this fabulous, international restaurant guide. 

Emerson's Weissbier...

...is delicious! And, it's one of our Summer guest beers. It's bottle conditioned and made with Bavarian yeast that's imported especially by Emerson's. The beer has a bready aroma with notes of banana and sherbet and has a pale cloudy appearance.

Weissbeirs are really popular throughout Germany but they are most popular in the Bavarian region, where they are sometimes enjoyed as a breakfast beer! We think breakfast might be a little early for a beer at Atlas...however, you could always try matching an Emerson's Weissbier with some tasty items from our evening Tapas menu.
We recommend:

Asian-style crispy squid with wasabi mayo $9 (GF)

Pea & feta arancini with lemon aioli $7.50 (V)

Chicken & bacon pate with sourdough toast and apple compote $8

Whatever delicious Atlas food you decide on to accompany your Weissbier we're sure you will enjoy this tasty seasonal edition from Emerson's. 

Emerson's Weissbier | 5% | $11.50

As always, please enjoy responsibly.

Summer Mmmmmenu!

If you haven't been down to visit us for a while then you won't have sampled our tasty new menu items.

There lots of new dishes on the lunch menu and the evening menu has been made even more delicious too. Some old favourites have made a comeback and there's some exciting new things to try. Including some gluten-free goodies on the tapas menu. 

Check out the food page on the website for the full breakfast and lunchtime menu. The outdoor tables are sun-drenched at this time of year so why not grab some lunch and while away the afternoon next to Wakatipu?

And, if you're passing by Atlas the new tapas menu is on the blackboards, so pop in for a peek, we guarantee it will whet your appetite!
