French bistro to start dinner service in Buckhead Atlanta Thursday evening.
Le Bilboquet will open its Buckhead Atlanta doors for dinner service Thursday, Nov. 20, the French bistro Thursday announced in a press release.
Le Bilboquet is the only freestanding restaurant on the property, at 3035 Peachtree Road NE.
“Atlanta should brace itself for a true experience of French cooking and Parisian café culture at Le Bilboquet,” Jon Skinner, the restaurant’s general manager, said in the release.
“I’m honored to be a part of bringing this restaurant to the city and look forward to ensuring guests receive an authentic and welcoming dining experience.”
Le Bilboquet originally opened in New York City’s Upper East Side as a 38-seat restaurant in 1986. After 27 years, the restaurant relocated to a larger space on East 60th Street in Manhattan in October 2013.
Philippe Delgrange, founder of Le Bilboquet, teamed up with restaurateur Rick Wahlstedt to bring the restaurant to Atlanta.
In the kitchen, chef de cuisine Jean Louis Sangare brings the same approachable classics from Le Bilboquet’s New York outpost, where he trained under executive chef Julien Jouhannaud for 16 years. Menu items include Cajun chicken served with a bed of pomme frites and green salad, as well as crab and avocado salad, veal scallopini, beef tartare and lobster and tabouleh salad.
Dinner is available Sunday to Thursday from 5 to 10:30 p.m. and until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
