Lucian Books and Wine

Owners Katie Barringer and Jordan Smelt merge their love for books, wine, food, and London at bookshop and wine barÊLucian. Located at Modera Buckhead, Lucian specializes in titles centered around art, design, food, and culture and carries nearly 400 wines by the bottle and 15 wines by the glass, curated by Smelt. Food here is approached with the same thoughtfulness and care as Barringer does with books and Smelt with wine. Nothing is an afterthought, right down to the sauces composed for each dish. Standouts on the menu are the raw hamachi with seasonal fruits, the gnudi, and duck. Be sure to order a bowl of crispy fries, too, which comes served with a chefÕs choice aioli, like horseradish or spiced with chilis. Pair with a glass of champagne.ÊReservations highly encouraged.
