PARISH RESTAURANT:
Located on the main level, PARISH Restaurant brings a piece of NOLA to Atlanta with a menu that features the distinct cuisine of a city rich in culture and flavor. Serving a variety of New Orleans-inspired dishes with modern influences, PARISH is open seven nights a week, and Saturdays and Sundays boast an impressive brunch.  Fresh, delicious and affordable, all dishes pull from the Creole and Cajun cuisines.

PARISH MARKET:
Located on the lower level, the Market allows guests to mingle and graze at the communal table, enjoy a latte on the outdoor, pet-friendly patio tables and peruse unique sundries housed in an exposed brick space. The Market features an organic juice bar, homemade pastries and organic breads, fair trade goods, fresh flowers, eco-friendly packaged nibbles, premium cheeses, house-made salami, homemade ice cream, locally-sourced produce and a variety of ever-changing niche wares along with a selection of artisanal beer and wine including Concentrics’ popular Numbers Ale and the entire selection of New Orleans’ Abita Brews. Guests can simply order a bite and explore the various odds and ends throughout.

PARISH TO-GO:           
PARISH To-Go’s  offerings, found in the Market, include classically crisp po-boys, gourmet deli sandwiches and ready-made soups and salads, all fresh from the kitchen and available for grab-and-go or free delivery within the neighborhood. To-Go also takes the hassle out of deciding what’s for supper with a home-cooked dinner available for pick up, which changes nightly. Reserved parking spots for quick and easy pick up give new meaning the The Big Easy.

DESIGN:
PARISH is located in a historical building in the heart of Inman Park. The only remaining structure from the Atlanta Pipe and Foundry Company, the building had been abandoned for some time, until Concentrics’ Bob Amick and Todd Rushing restored the space to its original grandeur allowing patrons to relish the antiquated structure as they take in the organically funky vibe found throughout PARISH. The eatery features fully-restored crown moldings, an original tin ceiling, refurbished windows, original exposed brick and a Vermont slate roof. And a walnut and zinc bar adds to the classic elegance, centered by a raw bar, along with two spacious outdoor dining areas.
