Bar Margot
Located inside the Four Seasons Atlanta, Bar Margot’s palette is bold and moody. The main dining room with its mirror-clad columns and comfortable seating (a little lower than standard and lot sexier) evokes a cosy, but sleek club atmosphere with blue tufted armchairs and dark blue leather banquettes accented with a rich orange velvet.
Le Bon Nosh
Designed by Los Angeles-based studio Commune this 6300 square feet expansive indoor-outdoor concept in the Buckhead section of Atlanta is anchored by an open display kitchen. The space is framed by custom communal oak tables on one side and a formal dining room and wine bar on the other. The sundrenched interiors feature 25-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows accented by hand-dyed saffron curtains and a painting of the Brittany coast by artist Tyler Hays is displayed prominently above the teal banquette. There’s a cozy wine bar and at the top of the dramatic sweeping staircase the mezzanine houses a private dining space adorned with hand-painted floral De Gournay wallpaper and built-in furniture with walnut accents.
The Garden Room
Dramatic and romantic, this 3,000-square-foot space greenhouse-inspired bar and lounge, fully enclosed with a vaulted glass-and-steel roof, is a maximalist’s fever dream. Guests can enjoy craft cocktails topped with edible flowers and dine among the city garden Illuminated with twinkling lights and a fantastical white tree sculpture which serves as the focal point of the large island bar. A custom glass Italian mosaic mural and a variety of live plants and trees are showcased throughout the lush space which is drenched in deeply saturated jewel tones and outfitted with floral fabrics and fringed pillows in emerald-green and magenta-fuchsia.
Le Colonial
Designed by Chicago-based architect Mark Knauer, Le Colonial’s sophisticated interiors recall the French colonial refinement of 1920’s Saigon. The 8,100-square-foot restaurant includes a main dining room, airy veranda, private event space, bar and lounge - all outfitted with shutters, ceiling fans, copper sconces, wrought iron work, tropical plants, rattan furniture and murals of lotus flowers by Swedish artist Jonas Wickman.
Marcel
Located in the Westside Provisions District, Le Marcel’s dark and moody atmosphere evokes 1920s France. Designer Elizabeth Ingram designed the plush living room-like restaurant entry with an eye-catching, 10-foot settee set against playful wallpaper and antique rugs and gilded mirrors, brass-top tables, and table lamps in the dining room.
