The Roast by Whole Foods Market is a new destination in Atlanta for Brazilian-inspired fare crafted by a variety of rotating local chefs.
The all-new fast casual Brazilian BBQ restaurant is the first-ever full-service restaurant to be launched by Whole Foods Market, serving a variety of dishes that range from Brazilian Lamb and Crispy Cauliflower, to Flavors of the Andes bowls.
At The Roast, diners have their meals prepared in an assembly line format, with meat-based dishes roasted right before the eyes of customers. To emphasize this as a main feature of eating at The Roast, the decor is styled with elements of dark wood and exposed brick that gives the interior of the eatery a rustic, rugged feel.
