Tiny Lou's

"The French brasserie within Hotel Clermont makes a lovely spot to start a weekend day with its blush pink surroundings. Start with a pastry basket before going savory with one of their star dishes like the croque madame or the veggie quiche. Imbibers can’t go wrong with any of the bunch cocktails, but the French 75 keeps things light." - Lia Picard, Henna Bakshi

"A cool and fun spot that feels like old school Hollywood with incredible craft cocktails and excellent French food." - Michael He

"The Michelin-recommended Tiny Lou’s at the Hotel Clermont on Ponce de Leon Avenue will be open for Christmas Day. The restaurant is a great spot for non-alcoholic cocktails, including a zero-proof “phony Negroni,” and house-made desserts. The dinner menu will include butternut squash soup and beef Wellington. Reservations highly encouraged." - Caroline Eubanks

"About 20 delicate crepes are needed to make one crepe cake at Tiny Lou’s at Hotel Clermont, which recently celebrated its 100th year. A mascarpone cream filling goes in the center of each crepe which holds each crepe in place. Pastry chef Charmain Ware-Jason infuses the mascarpone with playful flavor combinations that change seasonally. The crepe cake of the moment is hummingbird cake-inspired with banana curd, vanilla mascarpone, dried pineapples, candied pecans, and a pineapple glaze. Soon, Ware-Jason plans to make a Neapolitan-inspired crepe cake with strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla.  In addition to crepe cakes, Ware-Jason creates other show stopping desserts. The most notable, perhaps, is the Matilda, a multi-layered chocolate cake inspired by the ‘90s movie by the same name. It’s served with a sparkler whether it’s your birthday or not." - Lia Picard, Eater Staff

"The dining at Hotel Clermont is accentuated by the pink neon cursive sign that reads “Tiny Lou’s.” The Michelin-recommended French-inspired brasserie, and Eater Atlanta’s 2018 Restaurant of the Year winner, takes its name from a petite, Austrian-born dancer who once performed in the Gypsy Room at the Lounge below. To mark the hotel’s centurial birthday on Sunday, the restaurant is hosting a glamorous event at noon of passed appetizers, an oyster raw bar with caviar bumps, and plenty of champagne. Tickets are $150 and are limited to the first 100 guests." - Henna Bakshi
