InterContinental Buckhead’s 24-hour European brasserie to reopen as new concept


UPDATE (JULY 22, 2011): Oprah’s Chef to open Buckhead restaurant

Au Pied de Cochon, Buckhead’s 24-hour European brasserie, will close by fall of this year, according to Patrick Birchall, general manager at the hotel.

Located on the ground floor of the InterContinental Hotel at 3315 Peachtree Road, the restaurant will reopen as a new concept, Birchall told What Now Atlanta over the phone Monday.

“Restaurant’s are only fashionable for a certain period of time,” Brichall said. “We are hoping to operate a new restaurant by fall.”

Recent reports suggest Art Smith, Oprah Winfrey’s personal chef for several years, will act as chef for the hotel’s new restaurant.

“Working with Art Smith has not been finalized,” Brichall said. “That was posted without all of the facts.”
