Description:
BUCKHEAD. This romantic French bistro boasts a stylish interior of exposed brick and expansive windows, along with an outdoor dining area surrounded by flowers. The menu focuses more on Continental dishes prepared with French flair than on traditional French cooking, but anything you order is certain to be incredible. Country potato soup, duck confit, and wood-fired chicken served with bread salad are top choices. Other terrific options at this local favorite include grilled Scottish salmon, buffalo meatloaf, and sauteed pork loin. Reservations recommended. Casual attire.

EMORY. This fabulous French-inspired restaurant holds court in Atlanta's warehouse district. The industrial feel of the neighborhood extends to the quirky decor, which includes milk bottles that serve as hanging lights. The menu is top-notch, featuring appetizers of pasta or baby squid, followed by outstanding potato gnocchi with veal sweetbreads, wodd-grilled hangar steak or penne with braised lamb. The desserts, as you might expect, befit such a tantalizing and artistic cuisine.

Description:
EMORY. This hotel-affiliated French restaurant does its most brisk business at lunch, thanks to patronage from surrounding offices. After a bite of Le Giverny's delightful cuisine, these folks know they've found something good. Steak frites, a perennial classic, is always a terrific choice, and sautéed rainbow trout with a touch of hazelnut butter satisfies the need for something both light and flavorful. Pork tenderloin, merlot-braised lamb shank, and pastas are also delicious – whether you sample them day or night.

Description:
BUCKHEAD. With its lazy, easy ambience, you'll want to loll about this wonderful bungalow restaurant, preferably on its enviable patio, and enjoy great Provencal-styled cuisine. Begin with classic, white wine-steamed mussels or vodka-cured salmon before sampling the veal porter house with wild rice or, perhaps, thyme-roasted free range chicken with fingerling potatoes. Live jazz enlivens the place on Thursdays and Fridays; Latin tunes on Monday. Service can be slow at times, so plan accordingly. Reasonably priced.

Description:
BUCKHEAD. The culinary baby of owner-chef Joël Antunes, this contemporary Buckhead restaurant is an exciting foray into French cuisine with an Asian tinge, and it's garnered both praise and delight. The chic surroundings – complete with expansive windows, leather banquettes and a vibrant red tile wall separating the kitchen from the dining area – are luxe but not overpowering. The rich, seductive menu features a wonderful bouillabaisse, veal sweetbreads, beef short ribs, roast lamb and Alaskan king crab salad. Beautiful desserts and a selection of fine wines are both available. A 42-seat chef's room affords guests a sharp, private setting that is ideal for parties and meetings.

Description:
BUCKHEAD. A warm, inviting atmosphere pervades at this Buckhead charmer, where the textured walls have been painted in warm shades of red, orange and yellow, and the art recalls the bistros found along the Côte d'Azur in the south of France. At a place like this, choices aren't easily made, so it's best to start with something like seared scallops or escargots – they may not make deciding between Ravioli Piemontese or Chateaubriand au Portobello any easier, but at least you'll be deliciously underway. Factoring in variables such as quality of cuisine, atmosphere, overall experience and price, few places in Buckhead compete with Soleil.
