About this restaurant

Innovative
Good for special occasions
Fancy

The experience at Atelier has evolved. It now moves through a format we call Zyre.

This new journey is shaped by creativity and design, where the lines between cuisine and art begin to blur. The menu unfolds through seven distinct expressions, each one an exploration of flavour, form, and feeling.

The experience is offered at $250 per guest.

We do our best to accommodate mild allergies, however our kitchen is not allergen-free, and therefore we cannot guarantee zero cross-contamination.

Please budget for a dining time of around 3 hours.

Well executed food. Staff did not explain reasoning behind the arrangement of 40 different dishes. Sommelier decanter our bottle of wine and disappeared- we poured our wine ourselves all night. We were left guessing what the chef was thinking. OK if you like guessing games, but we came for a meal, not a guessing game.

From the moment we were greeted by the knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff, it was clear this would be more than just a meal—it was a performance. Service was impeccable—attentive without being overbearing, and each dish was explained with passion and precision, which deepened our appreciation for the dish and the chef who executed the dish. We had an amazing time and would come back for that special occasion!

What a great experience from start to finish! The food was a work of art. So creative, delicious and perfectly plated. I highly recommend this dining experience for couples or a first date. There is no shortage of chatter and laughs as you explore and experience new things together. It definitely does not disappoint.
