It starts with “B” and rhymes with lunch. We know it as brunch, and Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood offers several choices of restaurants that serve that magical meal that’s not quite breakfast and not quite lunch, but which is a perfect weekend treat.
5Church Buckhead
Enjoy brunch at 5Church Buckhead on Saturday from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Perhaps start with cured salmon, fresh oysters or asparagus salad. Then, move onto, maybe, to biscuits and gravy or quiche Lorraine. Oh my, there’s also banana French toast and a Spanish tortilla. Have a mimosa while you decide.
