If you need me, I'll be at Le Bon Nosh

We just love the vibe of Buckhead's newest sweet spot.

Le Bon Nosh is a new café & market located at The Irby in Buckhead, serving simple, ingredient-driven food that celebrates the beauty of eating with the seasons. With a name that roughly translates to "the good bite", founder Forough Vakili’s welcoming atmosphere, designed by Commune, and vegetable-forward menu celebrates the simplicity of good food and warm hospitality. Later this year, Le Bon Nosh will launch a program to address food insecurity in the greater Atlanta community.

Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the market with natural light by day, while chandeliers and sconces by Woka create a casually elegant space by night. Design touches reflect Forough’s Persian heritage throughout, including
naturally-dyed saffron velvet drapes and layered handwoven rugs. A staircase leads to a secret mezzanine, serving as a private dining space with features like hand-painted wallpaper, built-in furniture with walnut accents, and a constellation of Michael Anastassiades' light fixtures with star signs for Forough’s two children hidden above.

The all-day menu champions the beauty of simple, seasonal food, with rotating breakfast items like almond butter toast, beet cured salmon, and shakshuka along with an ingredient-driven selection of salads, soups, tartines and
galettes for lunch. From the pastry case, seasonal scones, muffins, hand pies and tarts line the shelves, while modern classics from the grab & go case prioritize guest convenience. To drink, the wine list highlights organic and natural wines, alongside a selection of craft beer, tea and single-origin coffee.
