Nikolai's Roof Atlanta

Nikolai’s Roof is on Courtland Street. It sits a twenty-minute walk from the Georgia Aquarium, placing it well clear of the immediate tourist density found near Centennial Olympic Park.

The room runs smart and elegant, but the real draw is the vantage point over the urban grid. While much of the city’s contemporary French dining is found in street-level storefronts, this venue uses its height to separate itself from the noise below. Other spots in this category rely on elaborate interior design to command attention, yet here, the perspective provides the primary hook. If you want a view of the sprawl rather than just a quiet table, this is the only logical choice in the area.
