ATLANTA
(April 26, 2017) – Babalu Tapas & Tacos announces the opening of its first Atlanta restaurant in the 33 Peachtree Place mixed-use development in Midtown this summer. Named after the signature song of Desi Arnaz’s character Ricky Ricardo
in the television comedy series I Love
Lucy, Babalu offers a sharing-style dining experience featuring made-from-scratch,
Latin-inspired dishes with Southern touches. The Jackson, Mississippi-founded restaurant
company with local offices in Roswell, Georgia already has six existing
locations throughout the Southeast and plans to open its doors in June at 33
Peachtree Place at the corner of West Peachtree Street and Peachtree Place next
to the newly opened Dancing Goats Coffee Bar.
“Our
new Midtown restaurant is completely unique to Atlanta; in fact no two Babalus
are alike. Our whole brand is founded on providing guests something better and
different. It’s in our design, our feel, our people and definitely our food and
guest experience,” says Stan Stout, Chief Operating Officer of Eat Here Brands. “Our chefs draw inspiration from locally sourced ingredients for our made-from-scratch dishes and handcrafted cocktails. ”
Guests can look
forward to a wide selection of starters, soups and salads, chef-inspired small
plates, tacos, sandwiches, sides to share and desserts. Examples of menu items
include:
·
Signature guacamole made tableside with
Hass avocado, sun-dried tomato, red and green onion, kosher salt, cilantro and
lime juice, served with house chips
·
Pan Roasted Redfish: Rösti potatoes,
smoked corn pico de gallo, red chili butter sauce
·
De Pato Taco: Duck confit, avocado
mousse, yellow onions, cotija cheese, lime vinaigrette & cilantro
·
Creole Shrimp & Grits: Gulf shrimp,
garlic, herb Creole sauce, mushrooms, cilantro, Coldwater Creek grits, grilled
country bread
Margaritas,
sangria, signature cocktails and a curated tequila selection accompany local craft
beers and wines by the glass and bottle to complement the shareable menu, which
is designed to inspire conversation, encourage camaraderie and promote good
times.
The Atlanta restaurant’s
5,200-square-foot space will feature chef’s table seating as well as a large
outdoor dining patio with an indoor/outdoor bar. Appealing to the urban lifestyle and eclectic nature of Midtown’s residents and visitors, Babalu takes pride in the restaurants’ communities and offers a dining experience intended to bring people together.
