Southern fare, tea sandwiches, chicken salad, and champagne punch
"An Atlanta institution that preserves classic accompaniments on its cold salad plate, adding bygone delights like cheese straws and frozen fruit salad to keep the tearoom-era tradition alive." - Stephanie Ganz
"Located on the campus of the Atlanta History Center, this old coach house is part of a Buckhead mansion featured in “the Hunger Games”. Swan Coach House includes an art gallery, gift shop, and a restaurant and events facility on site. Southern ladies who lunch come here for crab cakes, tea sandwiches, chicken salad, fried green tomatoes, and sweet tea. Reservations recommended." - Beth McKibben
"People seeking Southern classics during lunch will find those on the menu at Swan Coach House. This old coach house is part of a Buckhead mansion. Yes, the mansion featured in the Hunger Games. Begin a lunch at Swan Coach House with pimento cheese fritters, which are given a bit of sweetness from Vidalia onions and come served with smoked bacon jam and bread and butter pickles. Or, order the soup and tea sandwich combo — a cup of soup of the day, cheese straws (another Southern snack classic), two chicken salad tea sandwiches, and two pimento cheese tea sandwiches." - Beth McKibben
"This former coach house is part of the Swan House mansion featured in the Hunger Games. But before the movie franchise made the stately Buckhead home and its grand courtyard staircase famous, it’s been a popular location for Atlanta couples seeking a special place to say “I do” in the city. Located next door to the mansion, hold a cocktail hour and wedding reception at the Swan Coach House, which exudes Southern charm inside and out in the gardens and on the back patio." - Beth McKibben
"Atlanta's Headquarters for Ladies Who Lunch As the stomping grounds for ladies who lunch, bridal luncheons, and baby showers, the Swan Coach House has been a Buckhead staple since 1965. A group of ladies opened the restaurant, gift shop, and art gallery to raise money for the arts while serving their family recipes on their own plates and silverware. Since then, the restaurant has become well known for Southern staples like their chicken salad, frozen fruit salad, cheese straws, and champagne punch. Be sure to visit the lavish Swan House at the Atlanta History Center while you’re there."
