Peachtree Holiday Lunch info on Dec 5, 2020 (268975) | MotorsportReg.com

Petite Violette is described by Atlanta Eats as “Atlanta’s premier family owned and operated French restaurant”. Started in 1974 by Wolfgang Gropp, under the name Petite Auberge, Petite Violette has delivered fine French cuisine for over forty-six years. Now owned by the two sons of Wolfgang, Michael and Anthony, the proud tradition continues of serving residents and visitor of Atlanta with a “one-of-a kind” dining experience, exceptional food, and attentive service.  

The restaurant’s reputation led the Atlanta Opera Company to partner with Petite Violette to host a series of “Dinner with a Diva” performances. A four-course dinner is paired with performers singing between each course.  The event planners discovered Petite Violette when they attended Dinner and a Diva performances of Les Misérables and later Porky and Bess. Both the American Culinary Federation and Le Cordon Bleu seek out Petite Violette for their students to do externships and apprenticeships. Several successful chefs at other Atlanta restaurants got their start as students under the tutelage of Wolfgang’s son and present lead chef Anthony.
