2948 Clairmont Rd | Atlanta, GA 30329
“The finest French restaurant in Atlanta,” and “I really feel like I’m in France!” are just some of the rave reviews diners are saying about Petite Violette (formerly known as Petite Auberge). Enjoy the live French music that plays most nights, the lovely ambiance, and outstanding dishes such as the French Onion Soup, Beef Wellington filet, and Sea Bass Florentine. You can also order them for catering, or rent out their private dining rooms and facilities to host your special event! They also host a dinner theater which is a super fun and different dining experience you should check out on the weekends!

705 Town Blvd Q310 | Brookhaven, GA 30319
Red Pepper Taqueria is always amazing whether you want to grab a scrumptious bite to eat or booze it up with your friends. Despite their name, they’re doing way more than cooking up tacos. They’ve got fresh seafood offerings, tasty salads to fit any diet you’re on, and terrific buffalo wings served with a chipotle ranch that really hits the spot. The best part is that they always have tons of weekly specials: $15 bottomless mimosas on the weekends, $2 taco Tuesdays, and ½ off wine bottles on Wednesdays just to start! Located in the Town Brookhaven shopping center.
