Welcome to West Peachtree

As you may, or may not know, I am in the process of opening the latest and greatest; creme de la creme, of Kimpton Hotels: The Hotel Palomar-Atlanta. Our restaurant is PACCI. Pacci is short for "Carpaccio". Word on the street is that Atlanta hasn't quite mastered Italian food as some of my old neighbors have, so I’ll be the judge of that. This morning I got the opportunity to have a taste of breakfast. I walked to the line where there was every single dish on the breakfast menu sitting in front of me. I chose the Prosciutto, spinach & tomato, eggs benedict (above). I also had a taste of the Catfish benedict (to the right) and the french toast. All, beautifully plated, with great portions and extremely reasonable prices, I was (luckily) pleased with the product. It’s hard to recommend something you don’t like. I don’t lie about food. Ever. I was pleased with the perfectly made, not overkill, hollandaise sauce… I have, so many times, had hollandaise sauce always with too much something. Too much Tabasco sauce, too much butter, too much lemon… catch what I’m throwin'? It was light and lovely. Look forward to Pacci tastings & updates weekly-
