Oktoberfest Party

Oktoberfest Party

Nothing says Oktoberfest like a Party full of unlimited German food, some draft beer, live music, tons of fun, and, hopefully, dancing! We will offer exactly that on Saturday, October 13, from 6:30 to 10 p.m. The party will feature a buffet with all-you-can-eat traditional German and Bavarian cuisine (served until 9 p.m.). Items on the buffet include: Bavarian pork roast, German sauerbraten, wiener schnitzel, knackwurst, bratwurst, fried trout, potato pancakes, dumplings, sauerkraut, spaetzle, wurst salad, red cabbage, homemade apple strudel, and coffee and tea.

The event also boasts a cash bar with three select German draft beers: Paulaner Octoberfest Marzen Beer (an amber malty Lager Beer), Paulaner Hefeweizen (a classic wheat beer), and Warsteiner Lager, plus a selection of German wines. In addition, there will be traditional “oompah” music by the famous polka party band Bavarian Express (which may even encourage the chicken dance, as in past years).

The lively event takes place in our banquet rooms, which are transformed into a Bavarian-style festival hall, and all seating is open (not reserved), at large tables. The party costs only $50 per person and includes one draft beer, tax, and gratuity. Reservations requested by calling 404-634-6268.

Our Founder, Chef Wolfgang "Wolf" Joseph Gropp, Has Passed Away

Our Founder, Chef Wolfgang "Wolf" Joseph Gropp, Has Passed Away

It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of our restaurant’s founder and our patriarch, Chef and Owner Wolfgang Joseph Gropp. He passed away on July 22nd, surrounded by his family, at his home in Sandy Springs. Born June 9, 1937, in Coburg, Germany, he went by the nickname “Wolf”.  Wolf trained in many prestigious restaurants all over Europe and America, including the Hotel Beau-Rivage, Geneva, Switzerland; the Grand Hotel St. Helier, Jersey-Channel Islands; The Savoy Hotel, London, England; and Chateau Frontenac, Quebec, Canada.  One of the highlights in his life was preparing food for the Queen of England.    

In August of 1974, Wolf opened the popular Petite Auberge Restaurant, in Toco Hills. The legendary restaurant remained in that location for 42 years and recently was relocated to Clairmont Road and renamed Petite Violette.

Today, Petite Violette, owned by his sons Michael and Anthony, still serves his world-class recipes and is an all-time favorite restaurant in Atlanta. The talented, spirited, and warm-hearted Wolfgang Gropp will be greatly missed by family, friends, and customers, alike. A memorial service will be held by the family at a later date.
