“Aging the white Negroni in the clay pot, gives a distinct flavor to the cocktail, it mellows down the spirits and complements with earthy smells and aromas,” says mixologist Ashish Sharma.

Poets, painters, and those looking for a little romance flock to Paris for good reason. The city holds an undeniable charm that’s hard to capture, but luckily chic new dining concept Brasserie Margot does just that. Located at the iconic Four Seasons Hotel in Midtown, the stylish restaurant exudes French elegance with an unmistakable Atlanta flair.

Led by esteemed executive chef Jon Novak, formerly of Hotel Clermont’s Tiny Lou’s, the extensive experience of the star-studded culinary team is evident upon first bite. “I am somebody that’s worked a little bit of everywhere,” says Novak. “I’ve worked from your greasy spoon diners all the way up to cutting-edge, innovative places hunting down Michelin stars.”

After grabbing a quick drink at the hotel’s Bar Margot, guests can flow to the new brasserie with ease. Greeted with the right touch of glamour, diners are transported to a whimsical Parisian getaway swathed in midcentury modern moments. Designed by Smith Hanes Studio, marble and Art Deco tile impress while a large-scale mirror holds court in the dining room where even the smallest design details shine bright—like the red zebra motif on each bread plate and cocktail napkin. “I like to just focus on taste, so being in an atmosphere like the Four Seasons makes my job easy,” says Novak.

Serving breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, the menus brim with iconic French flavor. Fan favorites like Soupe à L’oignon (French onion soup) are a menu staple, while other dishes are reimagined for a fresh approach. The Mussels Vol Au Vent, reminiscent of a French puff pastry, is filled with mussels sourced from Maine and glazed in Pernod cream. “It’s a dish that’s typically done with snails, but I figured out a couple weeks before opening that I wasn’t going to be able to get snails the way I wanted to, so we pivoted to mussels,” says Novak. “And it’s fantastic.” For those with a big appetite, the Seafood Platter with chilled Gulf shrimp, oysters, chilled lobster tail, and crudo will hit the spot. “I look forward to seeing [the Seafood Platter] when I walk out onto the floor,” says Novak. “Because chances are if it’s on the table, then there’s a table full of smiling people.”

With attentive staff around every corner, the only challenge guests face is saving room for dessert, which is a must. Pastry chef Eric Snow adds a theatrical element with his equally exciting and delicious tableside crêpe service. Add some sweetness with the cotton candy-topped Crème Brûlée or the Baba Au Rhum soaked in Diplomatico rum and finished with whipped cream. “We’re balancing tradition with a little fun,” says Snow.

Just as swoon-worthy, the drink menu, crafted by general manager and mixologist Ashish Sharma, is packed with surprising flavor and true masterpieces—literally. The visage of the Mona Lisa sits atop the artful Louvre Sour cocktail. Pay close attention when the 7514 Triangle cocktail arrives and your server comes equipped with a bubble gun for the ultimate garnish.

With no detail overlooked, a dining experience at Brasserie Margot is more than a meal. From the curated soundtrack to interactive tableside moments, the evening revolves around you. brasseriemargot.com
