Canoe is located in Atlanta's historic Vinings area on the Chattahoochee River where Buckhead meets Vinings.
Canoe's beautiful historic riverside setting makes it the perfect spot for weddings, receptions and private celebrations.
Its original cuisine and distinctive design have already been featured in Bon Appetit, Food And Wine, Gourmet, The Wine Spectator and The New York Times. Canoe, recipient of the prestigious Mobil 4 Star Award, was also selected as one of the "Best New Restaurants" in the country by the James Beard Foundation.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Matthew Basford

From the OpenTable editors: At this iconic restaurant located on the banks of the Chattahoochee River, the setting is as spectacular as the elegant farm-to-table fare. Grab a seat in the dining room with wooden ceilings resembling canoes and an open kitchen to watch executive chef Matthew Basford whip up elegant American dishes like slow-braised rabbit with mushroom stroganoff. Or linger with a glass of wine from the award-winning list on the outdoor patio for prime river and garden views.

Brunch food was good. Service not so good. Waiter got the order wrong and servers did not know where to put plates down. Waiter not very nice to one of our guests. Valet was very nice. Were in a nice room near windows but very noisy. At these prices may not return.

I had an amazing brunch today! The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the view was beautiful. I tried the assorted pastries, and they were absolutely perfect—flaky, flavorful, and fresh. Highly recommend this place for a great brunch experience!
