The Faded Rose Tea Garden & Restaurant is located in historic Chamblee,
Georgia and Antique Row, just a few minute's drive from downtown and midtown Atlanta.
The house was built in 1882 and is on the national historic registry.
 This beautiful
home is an idyllic setting for enjoying a relaxing meal with friends, family or
business clients. It is an eclectic fusion of traditional Southern tea room cuisine
with imaginative culinary creations for lunch, dinner, afternoon tea, and special
events. Reservations are recommended but not required at The Faded Rose.
It is a world apart here. Leave the hustle and bustle of urban
Atlanta behind as you step into a bygone era. The Faded Rose is an oasis of calm, gentility, and impeccable
service. Helpful waiters and waitresses knowledgeable about teas and tea culture.
Chefs schooled in traditional fine dining and tea service, as well as their own
imaginative culinary creations.
In my opinion, The Faded Rose's
afternoon tea service has no equal in the Atlanta metro area or Georgia. The Faded Rose
serves more than fifty teas from around the world that are brewed fresh
daily: herbal and fruit tisanes, and traditional loose leaf teas. Savory hot teas and fruity
-- sweet and unsweetened -- iced teas that are simply addictive! My favorites are the Tropical Blend,
peach, and apricot iced teas. All of the Faded Rose teas are available for purchase to take
home with you.
Daily specials are offered along with perennial favorites such as pecan encrusted
brook trout, salmon, blackened mahi-mahi, Southern fried chicken, berry muffins,
garlic mashed potatoes, crab cakes, chicken piccata, crème brulée,
caesar salad, and
many more delectable tastes. Fresh scones, rosemary muffins, lemon curd, tea
sandwiches, clotted cream, and eclectic tea sandwiches are just some of the unique
specialties which are all made fresh daily at The Faded Rose and are served with a
European flair. All sauces, salad dressings, baked goods, and signature dishes are
made from scratch.
 Owner Jeanne Lord has a thriving catering business as well for
church gatherings, wedding receptions, teas and luncheons for bridal and baby showers, bridesmaid
luncheons and teas, birthday parties, tea parties for little girls, Red Hat lunches,
and other special events.
You will find here a quaint mix of old and new. This former railroad
train master's house sits across the street from the old Chamblee
railroad depot and a busy train yard. It is interesting to watch the train crews change shifts and move trains back
and forth. A special train-themed dining room showcases rare model trains,
railroad menus, signs, and railroad china from the days when you could eat a fine meal while
traveling on across the country on the rails in style.
Other Faded Rose dining rooms
include a sun porch, and several elegant rooms where antique silverware and china
place settings evoke a time when Southern ladies wore fancy hats and elbow-length
gloves to lunch and afternoon tea. And some customers do just that even today. Local
Red Hat Ladies groups are regular luncheon and afternoon tea customers at The Faded
Rose.
 The interesting interior
décor at The Faded Rose is also for sale ... antique teacups, teapots, and fine
china; Victorian furniture; vintage purses, ladies hats, whimsical hand-embroidered shirts,
and much more are displayed in the historic dining rooms, as well as at the Faded Rose Antiques and Gift Shoppe just a few blocks away.
The Faded Rose features vintage European china, Crabtree and
Evelyn, Trapp candles, Boyd's plush and resin bears, Demdaco Willow Tree Angels, Faded Rose jams, jellies,
and other foods, and fine work from local artisans.
 There is also a beautiful herb and flower garden surrounding the
restaurant. Ample off-street parking. The Faded Rose is only a short walk to MARTA trains at the
Chamblee station and the many interesting antique stores and businesses in the
Chamblee Antique Row shopping district.
A short drive from The Faded Rose are
downtown Atlanta, midtown, trendy Buckhead, the fashionable Lenox and Phipps
Plaza shopping malls, Emory and Oglethrope Universities, and the International Village along
Buford Highway.
As a comfortable and unique place to unwind, eat well and be
pampered, Faded Rose Tea Garden & Restaurant is unequaled.
