In 1965, a group of Atlanta arts patrons transformed Buckhead's historic Swan House estate into an art gallery, restaurant and gift shop. Swan House's restaurant is known as as go-to place for ladies' luncheons and its menu features signature chicken salad dishes, spinach quiche, homemade soup and tea. Daily entrees include salmon and crab cakes, grilled salmon fillets, chicken curry and chicken crisps.
The large Swan House gift shop includes a boutique, jewelry, home wares and items for babies and children. Swan House Art Gallery, an integral part of the Swan Coach House experience, features works by the South's most established talent, as well as the area's new and emerging artists.
Swan Coach House hosts events such as weddings, receptions, parties and afternoon teas. See the website for an exhibition schedule, restaurant menu and more information.
