Mietta's Review
Discreet, plush and the place to lunch for the political and famous. All the elements work together to create a stylish, smart restaurant. The food is simple but excellent, the wine list is good and features many local wines, and the service is as sharp as one would expect in what is arguably Canberra's best restaurant.
Other published opinions
SMH GFG 2005 score 14/20 "The blue bunker still has one of the Territory's most attractive restaurant fit-outs - bentwood chairs, smart lighting, crisp cloths in a thrillingly covert back-street location"
Sydney Cheap Eats 2005 "With Bruce Chapman (ex-Star Bistro, WA) now in the kitchen, Atlantic is as classy as ever ... Perth's loss, Canberra's gain."
Gourmet Restaurant Guide 2005 "The menu is small and seasonal, the flavours mostly European ... The divided dining room allows privacy for those after a quieter corner, or the option to be amongst the hustle of main dining room."
SMH GFG 2004,Good wine list,'Atlantic is a discretely elegant space down a cobbled back street,with a curved timber ceiling,bistro chairs,and padded tables covered with cloth and butcher's paper.'
Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide Australia 2004-bookings recommended,'menu is slightly less ambitious, but no less pleasing, featuring Asian-European...Seafood remains prominent...food is attractive yet simply presented and service is professional without being stuffy.'
The Canberra Times, Restaurants, Charles Brewer, 4/4/02. 'Altanic's superior dining experience shows it remains one of Canberra's finest restaurants."
The Sydney Morning Herald 10/10/01. Capital restaurants
The Weekend Australian, 6-7/9/2003, Elizabeth Meryment,'a restaurant spoken of as one of Canberra's best...menu is all a very standard fare...The service and food were fine.It just seemed ever-so-slightly unexciting.A little like Canberra'
