We've been wanting to try Atlas' afternoon tea since forever but it's so difficult to get a reservation🥺. Really lucky we managed to book a slot a few months in advance🙏! We really liked the pastries and desserts. Each had pretty unique flavour combinations that are different from the norm🍞. Usually for afternoon tea sets, there would be some items that are misses for us. But for this, all the items were pretty good🍮! Lovely selection of tea as well, we really enjoyed the Kukicha Green especially🍵. We'll be trying to book their Christmas afternoon tea next, hopefully we'll succeed!😄

Finally fulfilled one of my birthday wishes of visiting the breathtakingly beautiful @atlasbarsg , and am soooo happy that we made it in time for their 𝙁𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝘼𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙤𝙤𝙣 𝙏𝙚𝙖! 😍🎅🏻🎄❤️❤️❤️

TBH I didn't really have much expectations for the food here, but those little morsels were surprisingly delicious! 😋❤️❤️

The only downside is that the service was far from stellar during our visit, and they seemed to be rather short-staffed, leaving guests stranded at the reception for quite some time (about 15min?) even after the designated booking time, then asked to take back the table 2 hours after the designated booking time. 🥹 Thankfully, they were kind enough to extend our table for 30min since I reallyyyyy wanted to try those famous 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨🍸❤️❤️, and I didn't want to down them all in 5 minutes without savouring the love and care that had been poured into each one.

And I have to say, if there's ONE thing you HAVE to try here, definitely go for the Cocktails/ Martinis/ Anything Gin! 🍸❤️

A major throwback to July at Atlas Bar with their over-subscribed Afternoon Tea set ($56 per person). There was a decent selection of pastries but the sheer grandeur of the space certainly stole the show for me. Hence, my handful of favourites from the two-tiered stand were the tangy-sweet raspberry financier, citrusy madeleine, savoury pumpkin quiche, and the one-bite Lobster Crostini which came with a succulent topping and crunchy toasted base.

ATLAS never fails to makes me feel like I’m a rich classy retired housewife. Its majestic interior draws me back again and again although it burns a hole in my pocket. Their bites are delightful as well, worth coming if you want to give yourself a treat!

Taste and ambience made up for the price of the dishes. The pork loin was really tender and soft and charred well, with delicious sweet sauce. The mash potato was also very creamy and buttery. There were thin apple slices which was unique and added a good crunch as a side. The croque monsoir was buttery and fragrant, with a lot of cheese and ham, and was delicious.

The vibes of ATLAS screams sophistication & opulence - and this goes without saying that one needs a drink in hand. But for those who are unable to take alcohol for whatever reason, you’re not left out! There are non alcoholic options for their specialty drinks as well, allowing you to bask with your friends in ATLAS’ opulence and match the vibe.

Summer in Paris is one of the non-alcoholic options, a concoction of Chardonnay grape verjus, lemon berry tea, and old world tonic. (FYI, you can have it with wine & gin for the alcohol option.) This was a ‘sparkling medley of flavours’ as promised, with a tad bit of sweetness but acidity from the verjus, which might be repulsive on the first taste as vinegar. Nonetheless, as unfermented grape juice made from unriped grapes, it was definitely less harsh than vinegar. I was still greeted with a pleasant sour and sweet combination in this drink, a light and tingly ending to finish off the meal.
