 Provence Comes to Buckhead |
2974 Grandview Avenue Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 233 9889 http://www.anisbistro.com/ |
If you have fond memories of a small French village, or even if you just like Gerard Depardieu movies, don't miss this out-of-the-way bistro. Anis serves Provencal fare in a converted house that offers a pleasant outside dining area as well. If you are lucky enough to arrive on a night when the Bouillabaisse is being served, don't pass it up. The wait staff is young, French-speaking, and well-educated on the variety of French wines proffered. The atmosphere remains quiet and elegant in its simplicity even on the busiest nights. See website for menu, wine list, and online reservations. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This romantic spot is fashioned in the likeness of a rustic country cottage, and blends right in with the quiet neighborhood it inhabits. The menu includes eclectic European entrees.

Bakery and Cafe Best Bet |
3070 Piedmont Road Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 240 1978 http://www.buckheadrestaurants... |
Reminiscent of a Parisian cafe, this busy, well-appointed uptown bakery and cafe offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. Voted "Atlanta's Best Breads and Pastries," the Buckhead Bread Company offerings are wonderful. Few can resist the warm, French baguettes made daily, or the extravagant array of dessert delicacies. A nice menu of sandwiches and salads are also available in the very casual dining area, as well as boxed meals for picnics. Catering service is available. No alcohol is served.

Bring your favorite bottle |
121 East Ponce de Leon Avenue Atlanta, GA 30030 United States +1 404 373 5622 |
Flashy owner Benedict knows the appeal of French style, and puts it to good use at Cafe Alsace on the town square in Decatur. If you're serious about authentic French cuisine, this tiny bistro is a surefire bet. Excellent values abound, with most dinners running around USD15, but the liquor license has yet to be approved, so bring your own bottle of wine. A small outdoor seating area really brings the cafe feel home to the lucky few who can steal a table on a sunny afternoon. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Mediterranean Dining in the Hyatt |
3300 Peachtree Road Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 237 1234 |
Cassis was left unchanged when Hyatt took over Buckhead's Hotel Nikko. Hyatt knew better than to mess with success. Cassis offers great French and Mediterranean food and is convenient enough for a business lunch as well as a romantic dinner. The dining room overlooks a beautiful Japanese garden and waterfall, and is elegantly decorated in a Western style. The French influence is strong in the kitchen, particularly in the beef offerings, while the Mediterranean tastes dominate the seafood. An exemplary wine list covers most of the world's great regions. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Gypsy Spirit & Energy |
495 Peachtree Street Atlanta, GA 30308 United States +1 404 347 8648 http://www.djangoatlanta.com/ |
Django is a combination bar and restaurant near downtown Atlanta, serving up eclectic appetizers and entrees in the early evening before transforming into a dance club by night. The menu is heavy on meat and fish, offering French specialties like mussels and, from further afield, Free-Range Chicken Curry. The music progresses through the night; while you may be listening to Latin jazz as you dine, later there will be jungle, drum n' bass, and old school hits bumping on the dance-floor. A perennial favorite of those who love to dance. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Innovative fare |
40 7th Street Atlanta, GA 30308 United States +1 404 347 9555 http://www.ecco-atlanta.com/ |
This European-inspired eatery is smart and crisp, with dark wood and leather furnishings, and snowy white linens. Quiet and elegant, Ecco is known for the delicious cornucopia of seasonal fare on its menu. Innovative shared plates, paninis, pastas, pizzas, a variety of main courses and sinful desserts present a tantalizing mix of Italian, French and Spanish flavors. If you aren't that hungry, just try something from the wide cheese selection. A mix of wines is available at the bar, so pick a glass and seat yourself on the pretty open-air patio.

Table for two? |
1026 1/2 North Highland Avenue Atlanta, GA 30306-3551 United States +1 404 872 0869 |
Fontaine's Oyster Bar is located next to the Highland Tap Restaurant, and is very popular with locals and tourists alike. If you are expecting a chivalrous crowd and a well-dressed wait staff, then you will be a little disappointed. This no-fuss joint is a casual hangout, visited by office and college-going people during lunch hours. Evenings are always packed, as it is open till the wee hours of the morning. Try the Peel-n-eat Shrimp and the Jambalaya, prepared with fresh ingredients. You can have a drink at the well-stocked bar on a boys' night out, or plan a romantic date with your lady love on the beautiful patio. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Jambalaya, Ettoufee & Tunes |
1104 Crescent Ave NE (14th Street) Atlanta, GA 30309 United States +1 404 897 3500 http://www.fpnnews.com |
The unusual journalism motif suits itself well to the outgoing crowd that packs this Midtown club most nights. The martinis and the beer choices are second to none, and the Cajun fare gets high marks from local papers and diners alike. A roaring fireplace sets the mood in cooler months, while the garden-like patio is the place to be during fair weather. More laid back than the higher-profile clubs of Midtown, Front Page offers great local bands most nights, and its central location makes it a great post-theater cocktail destination.

Quiet Little Bistro |
1615 Clifton Road Atlanta, GA 30329 United States +1 404 325 7252 http://www.emoryconferencecent... |
This wonderfully intimate bistro is located inside the Emory Conference Center. An elaborate interior awaits inside the doors, where guests enjoy leisurely French meals in a distinguished dining room or at the more casual wine bar. The quiet ambiance provides a very pleasant respite from fast-paced eating, American-style. The restaurant is popular for its regional French specialties, but nearly as many guests come for the elegance and selection of the wine bar, which maintains an impressive inventory.

Upscale Without the Attitude |
35 West Paces Ferry Road Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 812 9308 http://www.lamadeleine.com |
Indoors or out, this little cafe has an air of sophistication without the traditional snobbery. The freshly prepared light meals are very French, light subtly-flavored basics that only a seasoned chef can prepare. Try salad with quiche, rosemary chicken or some excellent soup with a crispy warm baguette. The house table wine is light and crisp and yes, French. Open for breakfast, lunch, and light dinner daily, don't be surprised if Le Madeleine's becomes your favorite little corner cafe. Beer and wine only. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Try The Melting Pot for a unique dining experience. One of many joints in Georgia, this all-fondue restaurant features three delicious salads, four varieties of cheese fondue, and two lighter styles. Veggies are crisp and fresh and ready for dipping. Main dishes include Cajun-style chicken and Lobster Indulgence. Extravagant desserts come in portions for two, three, or four. The Dark and White Chocolate Fondue Combination with fresh fruit, marshmallows and pound cake for dipping is extraordinary. The décor is pleasantly rustic and there is an excellent wine list.

Best of European Fusion |
2935 North Druid Hills Road Atlanta, GA 30329 United States +1 404 634 6268 http://www.petiteauberge.com/ |
The animated Monsieur Gropp, owner and proprietor of this chic neighborhood cafe, is responsible for the whimsical prevailing atmosphere, and has attracted a large local following over the years. For more than a quarter century, his marriage of German and French cuisine has delighted and surprised regular patrons, while his antics hold diners in stitches. Long before the fusion craze hit, the cultural whirlwind from this popular kitchen was creating continental medleys such as schnitzel in wine sauce. A nice wine list and full bar service are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Asian fusion |
111 Perimeter Center West (W Hotel) Atlanta, GA 30346 United States +1 770 396 6800 |
Located in the chic W Hotel, Savu fashions intriguing fusion dishes that combine Asian flavor with a French style. The result is an exceptional hotel restaurant to which Atlanta's fashionable crowd is beginning to migrate. Connected to the lobby of the hotel, the dining room has an elegantly romantic feel, largely due to the pervasive candlelight. Among the exceptional and original entrees are a spicy calamari salad and the Szechwan lobster pancakes. Savu also offers beautiful, sinfully rich desserts. The bar, predictably, has become a trendy north side hangout. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Peerless & Pricey French |

The former head man at Buckhead's Ritz-Carlton, chef Guenter Seeger continues to impress with this French enterprise, which has been named Restaurant of the Year by Esquire magazine. The luxuriously-appointed dining room sets an elegant scene for romantic dates or business dinners. This swank restaurant can easily be deemed one of Atlanta's priciest restaurants, and is said to possess quite possibly the city's best all-French wine list. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fabulous French bistro |
3081 Maple Drive Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 467 1790 http://www.soleilbistro.com |
Mais oui! Soleil is a traditionally quaint bistro noted for its French cuisine and casual atmosphere. In fact, it was voted best in this category in the Southeast. The traditional menu features coq au vin de bourgogne, marinated chicken stew in burgundy wine, and filet d'agneaux aux cepes, lamb with a porcini/oemi glaze. A fantastic wine selection is highlighted by many labels from, obviously, France, as well as a number of distinguished Napa Valley offerings. A private room is available for parties.
