Le Fat opening this week
Guy Wong, chef/owner of Miso Izakaya, announced the opening of his long delayed, much anticipated new restaurant, Le Fat, this week. Taking over the Westside space formerly occupied by the short-lived Yum Bunz, the Vietnamese concept was originally announced for summer 2014. Le Fat will offer com (rice), bun (vermicelli), and pho (noodle soup), plus family-style dishes such as fried whole fish. The 3,300-square-foot restaurant was designed by Smith Hanes, known for the interiors at the Optimist, Watershed on Peachtree and JCT Kitchen & Bar. 935 Marietta St. N.W., Atlanta. lefatatl.com.
Little 5 Corner Tavern reopens
The Little 5 Corner Tavern in Little Five Points, which was forced to close in May 2013 when it was damaged by a two-alarm fire, finally reopened this week after extensive renovations. The pub and pool hall features a sprawling menu of apps, specialty sandwiches, burgers, and entrees such as steak and salmon, plus weekend brunch. There are three more Atlanta Corner Taverns, in East Point, Edgewood and the Westside. 1174 Euclid Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 404-521-0667, thecornertavern.com/little-5.
