Bread & Butterfly - Where Chefs Eat in Atlanta when they want a sophisticated (but unpretentious) breakfast

Bitter salad greens, sliced cured ham and fried egg with gruyere makes for a great French bistro experience

“Execution runs at peak performance,' says James Beard Award semi-finalist Todd Ginsberg of this little French bistro featured in our new food guide Where Chefs Eat. "It’s not your grits and eggs kind of place," says Todd. Instead, "bitter salad greens, toast with sliced cured ham and fried egg with gruyere make for a "sophisticated without any pretense” experience.

It's a theme Where Chefs Eat picks up on. All the trappings of a French café-bistro can be found in the cheerfully titled Bread & Butterfly, owned by Billy and Kristin Allin: copper ceiling tiles, marble counters, fresh croissants, menu scrawled in curly writing on the mirror. The guide reports that the omelettes du jour are perfect, as is the steak tartare, and fresh baked goods from neighbouring Proof (which the pair also own) are stocked daily. The wine list is mostly French, with special love shown to the Loire.
