If you’re looking for a place to escape to during the holidays without leaving Atlanta, make a reservation at Le Colonial. The French-Asian fusion restaurant in the heart of Buckhead is the definition of exotic – it oozes the opulence and sophistication of the 1920s, both in terms of its ambiance and food. And it’s the perfect place to celebrate the holiday season.

And since the holiday season is more fun with friends and family, Le Colonial has two options for group gatherings. For a more intimate dining experience, there is the Lotus Room, the chef’s private dining room. It is stunning! With seating for up to 14 guests, this room offers a dedicated tasting menu and is beautifully designed around a full-wall Jonas Wickman mural. For a larger party, there is a fully enclosed terrace that can accommodate up to 35 people.
