One of Buckhead’s best-kept secrets opened in August 2018 in Phipps Plaza. Grand Lux Cafe is from the same people that brought us the Cheesecake Factory.
The funky decor and bold menu has been a strong selling point for Buckhead’s wealthy crowds looking to find something new to eat. The eatery clearly caters to the upwardly mobile and affluent, something that was clearly evident in the day AtlantaFi sampled a few items on the menu.
