Taste Brookhaven Brings 16 Restaurants Together for One Night on Oct. 1

A single ticket will put diners within reach of 16 restaurants, cocktails, desserts and live entertainment when Taste Brookhaven returns Oct. 1 at Brookhaven City Centre.

The annual culinary event will bring together restaurants representing Italian, Indian, Caribbean, French, Mexican, Southern and contemporary American cooking, offering unlimited tastings during an evening designed as a tour of Brookhaven’s dining scene without having to move from restaurant to restaurant. Proceeds will also support Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s Strong4Life program.

Taste Brookhaven runs from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. for general admission guests, with VIP admission beginning at 5:30 p.m. The event is being held at Brookhaven City Centre, 4001 Peachtree Road NE. It is open to guests 21 and older.

Sixteen Restaurants, One Evening

The lineup ranges from established metro Atlanta names to Brookhaven neighborhood favorites.

Arnette’s Chop House will bring steakhouse fare, while Fox Bros Bar-B-Q represents the barbecue side of the menu. EATaliano Kitchen and Valenza will offer Italian food, Chico Cantina will bring Mexican street food, and Moon Indian Cuisine Atlanta will add Indian dishes to the mix.

The international lineup continues with Jerk’s Caribbean Grill and French restaurant Petite Violette. Seafood will come from Siren, while HAVEN Restaurant, Marlow’s Tavern and The Ashford represent contemporary American and tavern-style dining.

Galla’s Pizza & Tavern, Henri’s Bakery & Deli, Honey Suckle Gelato and Summit Coffee round out the 16 participating businesses.

For North Atlanta diners who occasionally venture south for a special evening, the format offers an unusual way to sample a large portion of one city’s restaurant scene at once. Brookhaven sits beyond North Atlanta Star’s primary coverage area, but its dining district remains within reasonable reach of communities including Roswell, Alpharetta and Johns Creek.

Dinner With a Charitable Component

This year’s event will benefit Strong4Life, a Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta program focused on helping Georgia families develop healthier habits involving nutrition, physical activity and emotional wellness.

Proceeds from ticket sales and a deluxe raffle will support the program, which works with families as well as schools, early-care centers and pediatric practices across Georgia.

General admission costs $125 and includes restaurant tastings, signature cocktails and mocktails, entertainment and raffle entry.

VIP tickets are $250 and add early admission, a rooftop cocktail hour from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. under the City Centre’s Cherry Blossom Dome, access to a premium bar, a gift bag and complimentary valet parking. Cocktail attire is suggested.

Taste Brookhaven has typically reached capacity, and advance tickets are encouraged for the Oct. 1 event.
