“Cuisine cannot exist without the free and fair movement of ingredients, ideas and people. Deliciousness is an undeniable benefit of immigration. When people move around, food gets better.” - Chris Ying

Atlas Dining opened its doors in 2016 with the idea of changing cuisine every few months. It started in Vietnam (where its first hat was achieved), and has since (metaphorically) travelled to over 16 different destinations since. As a principle, Atlas Dining is devoted to the idea of being a scholar of food from around the globe. Not to mention the cultures and traditions that surround them. While each menu is chef Charlie and his team’s own interpretation, traditional ingredients and cooking techniques remain prominent and celebrated.

Chef Charlie Carrington opened Atlas Dining in 2016. Atlas Dining was awarded Melbournes Best New Restaurant & One hat in its first year of opening. At 22 years old Charlie is the youngest chef/owner to ever win a Chef’s Hat in the Age Good Food Guide, He has also been featured on Masterchef Australia and other TV programs. In 2020 he launched Atlas Weekly a subscription service Meal-Kit that has become a staple in the homes of thousands of Victorians.
