Au Pied De Cochon

Oddly enough, French food thrives 24-hours-a-day in the lobby of the InterContinental Buckhead hotel. Couples and conventioneers drop in. Lavish chandeliers bear technicolor blown glass fruit, French-inspired murals splash upon the walls and curtained booths serve as romantic retreats. Stretch the credit card with splurges like the Fruits of the Sea platters (combos of shrimp, crab, mussels, lobster and more). Or go conservative with killer French onion soup or a burger.
