GWINNETT MAGAZINE

"…a destination for diners with discriminating tastes who are looking for something more than just another meal in a chain restaurant."

-Forsyth County News

"I cannot write or say enough about the enjoyable evening we spent at the delectable Aqua Terra Bistro. This cozy, friendly place exudes charm."

-Arrington Widemore, Points North

AQUA TERRA BISTRO is located in historic downtown Buford, among galleries, antique stores and boutiques. As so much of North Gwinnett county is colonized by chain stores and restaurants, Aqua Terra offers an oasis of originality and charm. Aqua Terra was opened in late Fall of 1999 by Laurie Attaway, to bring fine dining in a casual atmosphere to the area.

The artistry of Executive Chef, Brian Legault, will amaze diners. Aqua Terra is an eclectic American-style bistro, where "traditional" foods are enlivened by inspired influences from world cuisine. Please take a moment to peruse the menus on this site. Also note that Legault creates daily specials, which are not to be missed. Legault achieves complex taste harmonies in every dish, without sacrificing delicacy or subtlety.Aqua Terra is a wonderfully comfortable place to spend a quiet evening. Both dining rooms are decorated by local artists, giving Aqua Terra a decidedly bohemian charm. The ambiance, the open kitchen and the warmth of the attentive staff all combine with the exquisite food to make Aqua Terra the ideal combination of comfort and elegance.

Aqua Terra does not accept reservations; we do, however, encourage you to call in advance if you're bringing a large group. Please visit the Special Events page of this site to learn about our Customer Appreciation Sundays!

Aqua Terra offers an extensive wine list, a selection of martinis to delight anyones palet and a variety of domestic & imported bottled beers.
