ATLAS, the award-winning bar at Parkview Square in Bugis, now serves lunch. The new midday menu runs from Tuesday to Saturday, starting at noon. It marks a deliberate push by the venue to make itself a full-day dining destination, not just a place for evening drinks and afternoon teas.
The restaurant occupies a grand Art Deco space on the ground floor of one of Singapore’s most architetecturally interesting buildings. It has long drawn visitors for its cocktail programme and its eight-metre Gin Tower, which houses more than 1,300 bottles. The lunch menu extends that same attention to European culinary tradition into the middle of the day.
What Is on the Menu?
The lunch menu is structured in three courses: starters, mains and desserts. Prices are moderate for the setting.
Starters range from $22 to $30. The Burrata comes with white anchovies, truss tomatoes, garlic chips and crystal bread. The Jamón Ibérico is served with watermelon and cantaloupe spheres, finished with crisp sage. A standout option is the Raviolo — a single, generously filled pasta made with fontina and mozzarella, topped with béchamel sauce and shaved truffle.
Mains sit between $38and $52. The Duck Confit ($44) features a slow-cooked duck leg with a crisped exterior, served on a Puy lentil salad with root vegetables. The Pan-Roasted Silver Cod ($48) comes with a mussel reduction, shimeji mushrooms, broad beans and gnocchetti — a lighter choice without being spartan. The Prawn Spaghetti ($40) uses al dente pasta in a cherry tomato and lobster jus, finished with roasted zucchini, chilli, basil and pangrattato.
Desserts are priced between $14 and $20. The Pavé au Citron is a rectangular lemon slice served with thyme chantilly and Earl Grey ice cream. The Dark Chocolate Crémeux pairs dark chocolate mousse on a flourless chocolate sponge with fresh raspberries and raspberry sorbet. The Choux au Craquelin is filled with vanilla ice cream, served with warm butterscotch and chocolate on the side.
What Makes ATLAS Different from Other Restaurants in Singapore?
Several things set ATLAS apart from other new restaurant openings in Singapore this year.
First, the space itself. The Art Deco interior, with high ceilings, marble surfaces, ornate detailing, is not common in Singapore’s dining scene. It draws comparison to the grand European hotel lobbies of the early 20th century. Few restaurants here offer a comparable atmosphere during the day.
Second, the cocktail programme. Lunch at ATLAS runs alongside the bar’s beverage menu. The newly introduced Daughters of ATLAS cocktail list draws inspiration from the Pleiades star cluster in Greek mythology. For those who prefer a structured experience, An ATLAS Suite ($46) offers a flight of three small martinis. The Count’s Table ($55) presents a trio of Negroni interpretations, an option suited to a longer, less hurried afternoon.
Third, the bar’s credentials. ATLAS has a track record that is rare among Singapore dining and drinking venues. It entered the World’s 50 Best Bars list in its opening year in 2017. By 2020, it reached No. 4 globally and was named Asia’s Best Bar. It has since won three Spirited Awards crystal plates, one of only a handful of bars worldwide to do so. In 2024, it received the Rémy Martin Legend of the List Award and the Bareksten Best Bar Design Award. The venue also holds two pins in the Pinnacle Guide, placing it among just thirteen bars worldwide with that distinction.
Who Is Lunch at ATLAS For?
The format suits business lunches, as well as those looking for a more composed midday meal away from hawker centres and casual cafés. The menu is designed so that a diner can have a single course or work through all three at a comfortable pace.
ATLAS opens for lunch from Tuesday to Saturday. On Monday, it operates from 3pm only. The restaurant is closed on Sunday.
