EDMONTON — Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Limited’s Atlas Steak + Fish has re-opened at Starlight Casino in West Edmonton Mall. Atlas originally launched in 2018 as part of a multi-million dollar renovation and expansion.
Leading the Atlas culinary team is regional executive chef David Schmidt, who has worked in Gateway’s Edmonton operations for more than five years and was central to the successful re-opening of both Starlight and Grand Villa casinos’ food-and-beverage operations post pandemic. His more than 30-year career has provided him with extensive international experience, having worked throughout Europe, the Caribbean, North America and the Middle East.
The Atlas menu has also been expertly re-imagined by Gateway’s culinary team and celebrity chef Spencer Watts and includes three new truffle dishes, as well as the new chilled Seafood Salad with fresh crab meat and tuna carpaccio, the Vinatage’73 Truffle Steak featuring black butter and duck-fat potatoes, and Baked Alaska.
The main attraction at Atlas continues to be the open-concept kitchen that allows guests to view the signature Josper oven, which functions as a smoker, oven and broiler.
“We are very excited to re-launch our signature restaurant at Starlight Edmonton”, says Todd Pollock, VP, Food & Beverage at Gateway Casinos. “The Atlas experience is one-of-a-kind. Our unique approach to hospitality and commitment to extraordinary cuisine takes you on a truly distinctive dining journey.”
