A new restaurant equipped with a sizable event space is coming to Atlanta’s historic Healey Building. The Pantry and Impress Events will open at 57 Forsyth Street, according to What Now Atlanta.
The eatery will resurrect the former Loaf & Kettle space and open its doors in late 2018. Downtown’s Fairlie-Poplar district is undergoing a bit of a revitalization. Some of the stalwart eateries such as Dua’s and Ruben’s Sandwiches continue to thrive, but other restaurants have given away to chain fast-food restaurants such as Moe’s and Arby’s.
Let’s hope The Pantry can draw a crowd. The site will feature a chefs counter and kitchen which leads to an atrium, What Now reports.
The menu will consist of breakfast and lunch fare of the healthy variety: salads, protein-rich sandwiches and breads. Dinner cuisine will feature charcuterie, cheese, and wine at the chefs counter.

We told you about the newest thai spot in Buckhead, Chai Yo, when it soft-opened earlier this winter. Now, the eatery has hit its stride.
One of its most popular dishes so far is “Plah Pla Meuk” a grilled marinated octopus in lime juice tossed with a number of delectable veggies for ascent. If you’re a curry lover (like me) there are a handful of dishes that you’ll love, like the Neau Panang and Khew Wan Kai.
Located at 3050 Peachtree Road NW Atlanta,, Suite R-8, the restaurant is hoping its affluent address will set it apart from the competition.
The restaurant says that it brings a “chef-driven Thai concept featuring Chef DeeDee Niyomkul’s interpretation of traditional and old-world Thai recipes using new world techniques and inspiration. From the family that created Nan Thai Fine Dining, Tuk Tuk Thai Food Loft and Tamarind Seed.”
We couldn’t agree more. But don’t take our word for it. Reserve your table at www.chaiyoatl.com.
