The story
At Atlas, inside The St. Regis Atlanta, Chef Freddy Money leads a kitchen that redefines modern American cuisine through a lens of British sophistication. Trained in top European kitchens—including the Alain Ducasse Group—Money brings a deep respect for technique and a storyteller’s instinct to every plate. His menus are built on close relationships with local farms and select international purveyors, emphasizing seasonality and provenance.
The cuisine is American in spirit—bold, ingredient-driven—but quietly shaped by Money’s British heritage. Refined European technique meets the vibrancy of regional flavors. Each dish explores texture, origin, and balance. That commitment earned Atlas a Michelin star and, in 2026, a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star award—the first restaurant in Georgia to achieve that distinction.
Atlas regularly welcomes celebrated chefs for one-of-a-kind collaborations. Recent guests have included Thomas Allan of New York’s two-star Michelin The Modern, Ryan Ratino of Ômo by Jônt, and Michael Elégbèdé of Lagos’s ÌTÀN T.K. Together with Money, they craft multi-course tasting menus that highlight singular ingredients—like Krug Champagne’s annual single-ingredient celebration—paired with expert wine selections.
For a more relaxed experience, The Garden Room offers an enchanted bar and dining space with a casual, welcoming energy. Live music and outdoor seating make it a natural extension of the Atlas ethos: attentive, refined, but never stiff.
From the dining room to the private Papillon Room and group spaces, Atlas balances elegance with genuine warmth—a modern American restaurant where every meal feels intentional.
