Where is Apres Diem located?
931 Monroe Drive, in the Midtown Promenade shopping center. Don't turn into the Trader Joe's lot — go straight past Handel's Ice Cream, and you'll find us in the lower section next to Midtown Art Cinema.
Is there parking?
Yes, free with registration. Scan the QR code in the lot and you'll get a text link — registering bumps you to 2 free hours. We validate for 2 more hours inside, for 4 free hours total. First time? Just ask your server for help — you'll need your license plate number.
Are you reachable from the Atlanta Beltline?
Yes — we're on the Eastside Beltline near Trader Joe's. Look for the BeltLine directional sign pointing to the Midtown Promenade exit, then follow the covered breezeway through the retail building. Take the ramp or stairs down, turn left, and pass Trader Joe's. You'll see Handel's Ice Cream below — keep walking past it toward the left and down a short flight of stairs. Apres Diem is to the left of Midtown Art Cinema: look for our wooden lattice patio, then the red umbrellas and metal café tables.
Are dogs allowed?
Yes, on our front patio — the tables near the large flower pots are kept clear so your dog has room, and we keep water bowls out. Our pet policy is posted at the front entrance.
What payment methods do you accept?
Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex, and cash. Tap-to-pay is coming soon but not yet available.
Do you take reservations?
Parties of 5 or fewer: no reservation needed, just walk in — we have extensive indoor and outdoor seating. Parties of 6–20: call (404) 872-3333. For private events or larger parties, use the private events page or email bookapresdiem@gmail.com.
How long is the wait without a reservation?
Typically no wait — we have plenty of tables.
Is there a dress code?
None. Come straight off the Beltline or dressed up for a special occasion — every style is welcome, often at the same table.
Do you have vegetarian options?
Yes — the veggie sandwich, rigatoni and farfalle pastas (modifiable), and generous dinner salads like the Greek and Napa cabbage (add a scoop of hummus or baba ganouj). The Mediterranean platter and tomato-montrachet plate work well too.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes — the veggie sandwich without goat cheese, Napa cabbage salad, Greek salad without feta, and any house vegetable side without butter. Two rotating vegan desserts are usually available, including a chocolate peanut-butter mousse cake and a chocolate-raspberry mousse cake (selection changes daily).
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes — any sandwich on GF bread, any pasta with rice substituted, the Mediterranean platter with extra vegetables instead of pita, and salads like the Greek, Caesar, and Niçoise (ask for white balsamic in place of the Asian dressing on the Napa salad). Two rotating GF desserts are usually available, including a coconut cake and a chocolate ganache tart (selection changes daily).
Can you accommodate food allergies?
Most allergies, yes — talk to your server about what we can and can't do. Our fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer with no gluten or seafood cross-contamination.
Do you have a kids' menu?
Yes, though it isn't posted — ask your server. It includes grilled cheese, fries, grilled chicken breast, mashed potatoes, white rice, kids' pasta (bowtie or linguine, red sauce or butter), and a plain burger. High chairs and coloring sheets are available.
What live events or programming do you host?
A French Meet-Up on the third Monday of each month, 6–9pm ($10 cash, includes a drink, meetup dues, and a raffle ticket). Boyz Night Out, a happy-hour meetup on the third Tuesday of each month. Atlanta Girly Book Club, a monthly dinner-and-wine meetup on a Wednesday.
