Belle & Lily's Caribbean Brunch House, Atlanta

pThe menu was conceived by Belle and her cousin, Lily, who is the executive chef (the restaurant’s name is a nod to the pair’s nicknames). Dishes reflect their Caribbean roots, including seafood tostones with crab served on fried green plantains; conch fritters; a seafood skillet scramble; and Caribbean rum-flavored pancakes with ginger hibiscus syrup./pp The space, has seating for about 40 guests indoors. The restaurant has a simple, modern, Caribbean feel that hugs you, with light, tropical design elements that aren’t overly done./ppBelle plays on a sense of nostalgia with small touches including serving food on the aluminum plates she grew up eating from during visits to her grandmother’s house./ppThere are talking points for people, so it’s a more interactive experience than, ‘OK, I came, I ate and I left.’”/pp/p
