"Parking at the Irby parking garage near East Andrews kinda feels like it could be a suspenseful opening scene in the Taken franchise, but when you walk through the doors of Le Bon Nosh, you’ll find a setting better suited to those romantic American in Paris tropes, where the main character casually reads a book by the window with a coffee and croissant just before true love saunters into their life. At lunch, you can order big sandwiches, tasty pastries, salads and other items at the counter. We love their hearty shakshouka. Definitely return for the restaurant’s formal dinner service, where you can decide on your own trope over wine, crudite, and beef tartare. Don’t forget the frites." - demarco williams, nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"Part market, part cafe, all Parisian, this breezy spot on Irby Avenue captures the urban-chic ambiance of the City of Lights with its effortless je ne sais quoi vibes and emphasis on seasonal ingredients. Coffee, pastries, and jars of grab-and-go soup are all popular offerings, but the French-influenced dinner menu might just be the highlight. Make a reservation and prepare to indulge in elevated bistro fare with an international twist — think duck confit with lemongrass puree or caviar and chips with a side of Champagne. Open for lunch and dinner." - Sarah Bisacca
"Some things in Atlanta are pretty predictable. For example, the self-checkout at your neighborhood Kroger will malfunction when you’re in a hurry and weekend brunch wait times will be at least 45 minutes. That’s why we’re thankful for Le Bon Nosh’s counter service brunch. Since plates are out of the kitchen relatively fast, tables flip quickly. The Buckhead spot is perfect for an impromptu breakfast gathering since a small crew can walk in and easily find a seat inside the French-inspired cafe or covered patio (they also have open seating upstairs when things get crowded). Order a lavender latte and the cardamom cake from the pastry counter until all your friends arrive, then go for heartier items like omelets and shakshouka when you’re ready." - nina reeder, juli horsford
"This chic French-influenced eatery in Buckhead by chef Forough Vakili offers brunch every weekend. You can grab fresh bakery items with coffee, or snag a table and order a perfect French omelette with a side salad. The Shakshouka with ample feta and herbs is a popular item. The chia seed pudding and power bowl offer lighter options. The restaurant almost always has an elaborate fresh floral arrangement at the center table." - Eater Staff
"Understated elegance describes the vibe and design at Le Bon Nosh. Chef and owner Forough Vakili wanted to bring the simple, sophisticated coolness for which Paris is known to Buckhead in her French cafe and wine bar. Tones of pale blues, dusty pinks, and muted reds and teals coupled with saffron velvet drapes, bold prints on the walls, and handwoven rugs merge Vakili’s love for Paris with her Persian roots. The restaurant even includes a constellation of light fixtures with the star signs of Vakili’s two children." - Eater Staff
