Atlantis rooftop restaurant opens at new West Central Mall at Leonora

Atlantis Cuisine, a new rooftop restaurant, was officially opened to the public on Friday at the West Central Mall at Leonora, West Coast Demerara (WCD).
The restaurant, displaying an enchanting underwater theme, was introduced to a media engagement on Tuesday evening last which saw British High Commissioner Jane Miller among others in attendance.
A newcomer to the restaurant industry and the mall’s Managing Director, Bhabita Albert revealed that the restaurant’s theme takes inspiration from the mythical city of Atlantis, the fabled underwater realm often portrayed in cinematic lore.

“When we were looking for a themed restaurant, which is, there is none in Guyana…the restaurants that are emerging are more rustic or more modern, but we wanted to be themed where you get the feel like under the sea. With Ariel just being released, why not tie it in,” she said.
“We have really nice props and pieces to entice the little ones… we had many options, but I must say thanks to God that we chose a theme that stands out very well and is liked by all.”
This restaurant proudly stands as a hallmark feature of the mall, poised for its grand unveiling at the end of this month. Meanwhile, the restaurant’s culinary offerings are an enticing mix of Italian, Thai, Caribbean, Halaal, and vegetarian cuisines among others.

“We are hoping that the same experiences that we leave the West Coast to go to Georgetown, we are hoping to have that here. Atlantis Cuisine is a fine dining restaurant… we have a few surprises for our guests when they come on Friday… here you can get cocktails that are not served anywhere else in Guyana…”, she emphasised.
The outdoor deck provides a mesmerising panorama of Leonora, a thriving community along the WCD.
‘Atlantis’ is not only a place to dine but also a venue for commemorating special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries. It accommodates exclusive reservations. Moreover, the restaurant prides itself on offering prices that cater to every budget.
“When its price concerned, it’s very affordable…. You want a time where you can dine in an atmosphere that is affordable, and that is what you get at Atlantis. Our prices are within the market range, and I am sure that we have everything on our menu that caters to any budget,” Albert related.
In a recent event, Kester Hudson, the President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), highlighted the need for more restaurant launches in Guyana.
He emphasised that as Guyana continues to grow, increased collaboration is crucial, and the GCCI is committed to supporting this endeavour.
Hudson stated, “The chamber continues to encourage and promote business collaborations. We aim to establish an incubator for incentives that enable our members to access resources, including information sharing.”
