The Buckhead outpost of the Le Colonial chain — a French-Vietnamese concept that celebrates the seductive spirit and vivid flavors of 1920s Saigon, founded in NYC in 1993 by restaurateurs Rick Wahlstedt and Joe King. The Atlanta location runs the chain's signature menu of refined Vietnamese cooking with classical French technique: shaking beef, crispy spring rolls, banh cuon, and Le Colonial's signature design-forward room with custom brass handles, French silk lighting, and the kind of Saigon-1920s atmospheric production the brand built its reputation on. Less foundational than Le Colonial Houston (the chain's first Southern expansion), more about extending the chain's transporting design into Atlanta's Buckhead dining corridor. For French-Vietnamese dining in one of Atlanta's most genuinely atmospheric chain-import rooms.
