The Waldorf Astoria Atlanta Buckhead recently announced the highly anticipated opening of its new signature restaurant, Brassica. Brassica incorporates brasserie-style French cooking with regionally sourced ingredients, weaving in culinary inspiration from Georgia and the American South. Designed to be a “city within the forest,” BHDM led the design to create a space blending neo-classical details with floral-inspired motifs.

“Brassica will serve as a keystone location in the Buckhead neighborhood where hotel guests and Atlantans are offered innovative gastronomic programs unlike no other,” said Christopher Guidice, director of food and beverage, Waldorf Astoria Atlanta Buckhead. “We look forward to having guests experience the restaurant and understand how traditional French cuisine paired with Southern elegance offers a truly unforgettable sensory experience.”

Executive Chef Christophe Le Métayer integrates his extensive background in French cooking with his love of southern cuisine. The menu features three sections: Butchers and Fishermen, Growers & Producers and For Two, a section highlighting shared dishes representing an homage to Southern hospitality.

Some of the stunning dishes include steak tartare, Brassica roast chicken for two, yellow corn bisque and Low Country perloo. The restaurant will also work in conjunction with the bar program to provide delicious cocktails for guests. Some of the signature cocktails include City Within the Forest, a Toki whiskey cocktail with orange flower, peach vinegar and orange phosphate, as well as The Waldorf Cocktail, with Rittenhouse rye whiskey, Carpano antica, Pernod absinthe, orange bitters and lemon coming together in one drink.
