Atlanta Chef Micah Willix opened a new restaurant concept, Latitude, in Phipps Plaza just before the holidays, so now that you have Christmas money to spend, it’s the perfect time to check out Latitude. Chef Willix was the former chef at Ecco, and is most noted for his ingredient-driven menu and Latitude won’t disappoint as it serves globally inspired cuisine sourced from the best local and regional ingredients. The world-cuisine menu and the intimate and well decorated space will make you feel like you’re tucked away in an European bistro.

Latitude offers a flavor-driven menu with a mix of globally and regionally sourced, high-quality meats, produce and dairy that is unique, yet approachable. Complement with a wine selection of over 60 Old- and New-World bottles that can be paired with Willix’s selections, as well as re-imagined classic cocktails.

Located at 3500 Peachtree Rd, Suite 1096 B, Atlanta, Ga., on the east side of Phipps Plaza—in the old but so newly designed The Grape space. Latitude serves lunch and dinner Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Additional information can be found at www.latitudeatlanta.com.
