Le Bilboquet
Atlanta restaurant Le Bilboquet in Buckhead has recently come under fire for appearing to arbitrarily enforce its dress code, first by a patron attempting to dine there on May 16, then by Hawks basketball legend Dominique Wilkins over the weekend.
Monica Johnson had reservations for brunch on the patio with two friends Sunday, May 16, and drove 40 miles to dine at the French restaurant. In an interview with CBS46, and in a post detailing the May 16 incident on Le Bilboquet’s Facebook page, Johnson says she was turned away for wearing a matching cotton track suit, which she was told violated the restaurant’s dress code. She complied and dined elsewhere in the area. After walking by Le Bilboquet later, Johnson claims patrons were seated outside and dressed in similarly casual attire, including wearing ripped jeans, sneakers, and t-shirts.
