Brookwood Hills restaurant Botica is slated to open a second location next year at Phipps Plaza.
Chef Mimmo Alboumeh, who opened the first Botica at the beginning of 2021, will debut the second location in a 4,618-square-foot space, with an additional 1,500-square-foot covered patio, in fall 2022.
Botica at Phipps will offer the same Mexican-Spanish dishes as its predecessor, including paella, a variety of tacos, quesadillas and fajitas, as well as a full bar and weekend brunch.
The opening of Botica is one of several additions planned for Phipps Plaza.
Announced earlier this year, the 24,000-square-foot “Citizens” food hall will be a collaboration with C3, a food and beverage platform that has brands including Umami Burger, Krispy Rice and Sam’s Crispy Chicken, according to Simon, the company that owns Phipps.
A coworking space, a 13-story office tower and a Nobu Hotel and Restaurant are all expected to open at Phipps in the coming months.
In addition, Alon’s Bakery and Market recently opened its third location at Phipps.
Marietta restaurant Sinbad Mediterranean Grill will take over the space previously occupied by Bun Mi Vietnamese Grill at 2277 Peachtree Road SE. The Shumacher Group, Inc. and Steve Josovitz represented the seller and guided all parties to closing. Bun Mi relocated to the Politan Row food hall at Colony Square earlier this year.
