Spanning world cuisine effortlessly to demonstrate some remarkable delights, the Atlas Bistro in Scottsdale is also rather particular about using locally sourced produce and meat for their dishes. Not unnaturally the first love of the chefs - Joshua Riesner and Brandon Crouser - is food and it is evident in the loving way they handle the ingredients, coaxing them to come together into the most fabulous of meals.

With a daily changing menu, it might be a little difficult to pinpoint favourites although you could typically expect quail breast with warm barley plum salad and Dijon mustard glace followed by a salad of smoked snapper and horseradish vinaigrette.

Entrees could include duck breast with rillettes, mushroom risotto and hibiscus red wine reduction while the sunflower seed blondie ice cream sandwich with chocolate fudgesicle is an enticing way to bring the meal to an end.
