Brasserie Margot

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Where Paris Meets Midtown Atlanta

Brasserie Margot occupies the ground floor of Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta on 14th Street, bringing a contemporary take on the classic French brasserie to the heart of Midtown. The concept is straightforward in the best sense: French tradition given a modern turn, with the timeless confidence of a Parisian dining room filtered through Atlanta's own distinct character.

The space was designed by Smith Hanes Studio, and the result speaks quietly. Muted tones, plush banquettes, rich wood accents, a deep color palette, and hints of gold create an atmosphere of understated glamour—moody and magnetic without being loud about it. It's the kind of room that works equally well for a solo morning coffee and a long celebratory dinner.

The Food and the People Behind It

The menu reads like a brasserie should: steak frites, bouillabaisse, foie gras, eggs Benedict, duck confit. What sets Brasserie Margot apart is the care applied to each of these classics. Pastry Chef Eric Snow anchors the operation with freshly crafted breads and pastries made daily—baguettes developed from a bespoke green apple starter, served with French-style butter sourced from Atlanta's own Banner Butter, and croissants that are reason enough to visit before 11am. Mornings also feature a grab-and-go bakery stocked with gourmet pastries and custom coffee blends from Rev Coffee Roaster.

Weekend brunch brings a fuller expression of the kitchen's range, with signature dishes from Chef Truchet alongside Snow's pastries, a curated éclair cart, and tableside touches like cotton candy service. Come evening, the drama shifts to tableside Crêpes Suzette flambéed with Grand Marnier—a classic French flourish that earns its place on any modern menu.

The Bar and the Wine List

The bar program is led by award-winning mixologist and General Manager Ashish Sharma. Signature cocktails include the Louvre Sour—assembled with a delicate mosaic of the Mona Lisa—and the smoky Clay Pot Negroni, both reflecting the same creative ambition found in the kitchen. The wine list emphasizes French and sustainable producers, with selections from multi-generational and woman-owned vineyards. That program earned Brasserie Margot a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2025, a recognition that reflects the list's genuine depth and editorial point of view.

A French Dining Room for Every Hour

Few restaurants in Atlanta cover the full arc of the day with this kind of consistency. From a flaky croissant at 7am to a late-night Negroni at the bar, Brasserie Margot holds its register throughout. The French cuisine here is elegant and approachable in equal measure—serious about its roots, confident enough to let Atlanta's energy into the room.
