Canoe is located in Atlanta's historic Vinings area on the Chattahoochee River where Buckhead meets Vinings.
Canoe's beautiful historic riverside setting makes it the perfect spot for weddings, receptions and private celebrations.
Its original cuisine and distinctive design have already been featured in Bon Appetit, Food And Wine, Gourmet, The Wine Spectator and The New York Times. Canoe, recipient of the prestigious Mobil 4 Star Award, was also selected as one of the "Best New Restaurants" in the country by the James Beard Foundation.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Matthew Basford

From the OpenTable editors: At this iconic restaurant located on the banks of the Chattahoochee River, the setting is as spectacular as the elegant farm-to-table fare. Grab a seat in the dining room with wooden ceilings resembling canoes and an open kitchen to watch executive chef Matthew Basford whip up elegant American dishes like slow-braised rabbit with mushroom stroganoff. Or linger with a glass of wine from the award-winning list on the outdoor patio for prime river and garden views.

    Didn't live up to the hype. Was hoping this would be a hidden gem, but it was overpriced food with minimal flavor. At about $40/dish I shouldn't need to touch the salt or pepper. The service is excellent, but the restaurant itself is too noisy to hear across the table. I have been to many restaurants of the same and higher caliber and this one just misses the mark. I would say, take your money to Le Colonial. Same price point, classier ambience, and flavor.

    Ordered the She-crab soup but it was not really warm. I think the recipe was changed. It used to be better. Our server was flat, not engaging, and her demeanor was not typical for Canoe

    Unique dining experience! I went to Canoe with some colleagues on a work trip. Food was amazing. We shared the Peppercorn Kangaroo as an appetizer. The environment was great and a perfect level for chatting.

    Another memorable experience at Canoe! Attentive and gracious service from Miranda! Kangaroo appetizer was excellent. Satisfying and creative Cod / pasta/ chowder and Duck burger/ truffle fries entrees and a surprising chocolate/ cherry desert! Will be back!
