Today, the highly anticipated French bistro, Le Bilboquet, will open its doors
for dinner in the new Buckhead Atlanta district. The only freestanding
restaurant on the property, Le Bilboquet brings a vibrant atmosphere paired with
uncomplicated, traditional French cuisine to the neighborhood.
Reminiscent of a
European square, Le Bilboquet is located at the center of Buckhead Atlanta,
anchoring the upscale retail and dining development. The bistro and bar offers a
natural gathering spot to enjoy a chilled bottle of rosé alfresco during
warmers months or classic bistro fare or a draft beer and croque monsieur at the
bar.
Le Bilboquet
originally opened in New York City’s Upper East Side as a 38-seat hotspot in
1986. After 27 years of success, the restaurant relocated to a larger space on
East 60th Street in Manhattan in October 2013. Philippe
Delgrange, founder of Le Bilboquet, teamed up with fellow restaurateur
Rick Wahlstedt, owner and founder of national winning concepts, to bring
the restaurant to Atlanta. Overseeing the Atlanta location is general manager
Jon Skinner, who joins the restaurant after more than 15 years with Buckhead
Life Restaurant Group and maître d’ Ilona Knopfler, who brings French
heritage and 25 years of international hospitality experience.
“Atlanta should brace itself for a true experience of French cooking and Parisian café culture at Le Bilboquet,” says Skinner. “I’m honored to be a part of bringing this restaurant to the city and look forward to ensuring guests receive an authentic and welcoming dining experience.”
Le Bilboquet is
located at 3035 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30305. Dinner is available Sunday
to Thursday from 5 to 10:30 p.m., and until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
Beginning Monday, December 1, Le Bilboquet will be open daily for lunch from

7, every Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Le Bilboquet will offer a limited café
