| Taking her restaurant's name from the film Babette's Feast, owner Marla Adams has created a cozy, country French restaurant with high ceilings and hardwood floors that remains an Atlanta favorite for its seasonally changing fare. In cold weather, the cassoulet is a must. Come spring, a navarin of lamb takes its place. For moments when a lighter appetite dictates smaller portions, sample the "small plates" or the "really small plates.” The Italian sausage with sautéed peppers, one of the former, comes on soft polenta, and is plenty for a main dish. Brunch at Babette's remains a satisfying affair, especially the eggs Benedict on beef tenderloin and brioche. The house-made fried potatoes create a new standard for the genre. Dessert portions are huge and house-made ice creams are not to be missed. The wine list isn't extensive but it's very well selected, with an eye to price and value. Service is warm. |
