- SSheaLondon •5 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 18, 2025Atlas Dining is one of, if not our favourite in Melbourne. It's our go to for relaxed fine dining where you can experience new cuisines and flavours in a great space and with amazing staff. It was our first time eating there in a while just due to life, but it was so good to be back! We love both real Mexican and Tex Mex, and this felt like such a fantastic combination of the two. All the courses were outstanding, but special praise is definitely for the woodfired pecan pie. It was incredible!! Our only complaint is that we could have eaten a couple more each it was so good!!More infoAtlas DiningPrice: Expensive• Global, International• South Yarra•4.7
