French Cuisine -

Atmosphere Bistro

Atlanta hosts a wide variety of great restaurants, but you don't want to miss this one. This cute French bistro restaurant is located on Piedmont Ave., Atlanta. The restaurant serves brunch and dinner, with excellent French cuisine. Echoing the name of the place, the interior displays warm color, posters, and little bits and pieces of France. I love to start with soup of the day, and my favorites include L’Onglet Parisien (steak), or Carapaccio de boeuf (beef carpaccio with shaved parmesan), and Profiteroles for dessert. Their selection of cheese is great. The side french fries and salad are fresh and to die for.

Weather permitting, you can opt to dine outside. A small section in the back of the restaurant showcases everything Provencal souvenirs.

I love this place because it is an exciting place with lots of interesting produce and food products from all around the world. Obviously the shoppers are international people, which make the whole experience even more interesting. Different languages were spoken in the many different aisles. One woman in front of me was looking for a specific product and she was talking in Russian. The shop attendant was helping her, and she was speaking Russian, too. I thought that was neat. You'd gain some knowledge about food from their regions and find better/original products than you would find in other grocery stores. I love coffee and tea, so I was felt like a kid in a candy store browsing around the different coffee beans displayed around a corner. Pretty much you can find anything from different kinds of coffee, fresh produce, young coconut, to fresh seafood. The market offers good quality, lowest cost, and the largest variety of fresh food products currently available. I am always curious about farmers markets. So if I know that a place that I'm visiting has a farmers market, or a traditional market, I'll go visit for sure.
