The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Where Art Meets American Fine Dining

Nestled within The St. Regis Atlanta in the heart of Buckhead, Atlas is a restaurant that refuses to separate culinary artistry from visual art. The dining room is adorned with works from The Lewis Collection — one of the largest private art collections in the world — alongside paintings by Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita and Yan Pei-Ming. Vaulted ceilings, rich fabric banquettes, and moody tones set a sophisticated yet thoroughly unstuffy stage, one where Blondie and Oasis might drift through the speakers between courses.

Chef Freddy Money: Storytelling Through Food

At the heart of Atlas is Culinary Director Chef Freddy Money, whose approach to American fine dining is as deliberate and textured as the art surrounding him. Trained in top European kitchens — including the prestigious Alain Ducasse Group — and honored as a Krug Ambassade, Chef Money crafts menus that emphasize ingredients, provenance, and texture. His Chef's Tasting Menu is a journey unto itself: Kristal Caviar with scallops and bitter chocolate, The Finest Langoustine with truffle and corn, Westholme Wagyu with assorted pickles, and desserts like the FM Rocher with vanilla, hazelnut, and chocolate. Every plate reflects a deep respect for seasonal produce sourced through partnerships with local farms.

Accolades That Speak for Themselves

Atlas made history as the first restaurant in Georgia to earn Forbes Travel Guide's Five-Star award, joining an elite group of only three new Five-Star restaurants across the United States for 2026. The restaurant also holds a Michelin Star (2023–2025) and a Wine Spectator Best Award of Excellence (2025) — a testament to Head Sommelier Maxwell Pereira's exceptional cellar, which includes a gallery-worthy showcase of vintage brandies and bourbons.

Collaboration and a World-Class Stage

Atlas has become a magnet for global culinary talent. Chef Money's Four Hands Collaboration Series has welcomed luminaries including two-Michelin-starred Chef Thomas Allan of The Modern in New York, two-star Chef Kirk Westaway, and award-winning Chef Michael Elégbèdé of ÌTÀN in Lagos. These evenings epitomize Atlas's commitment to elevating American fine dining through a genuinely international lens.

The Garden Room and Private Spaces

Beyond the main dining room, The Garden Room offers an enchanting flora-themed setting ideal for a romantic evening or a convivial brunch. The Papillon Room provides a bespoke private dining experience with menus curated entirely around the guest. Atlas is open Tuesday through Saturday from 5pm to 10pm, with the last tasting menu seating at 9:30pm.
