South African Cuisine |
4183 Roswell Road Atlanta, GA 30342 United States +1 404 705 8870 http://www.10degreessouth.com |
If you've never had an opportunity to test South African cuisine, you're in for a savory taste treat. The flavors mingle the influences of Indian, Middle Eastern and English cooking to arrive at luscious grilled meats, calamari, braised rump steak and other regional specialties. Considered by patrons to be one of Atlanta's best kept secrets, the owners and staff make you feel like an old friend. Newcomers should try the bobotie, a unique sweet beef and curry dish, and sample the excellent wines, such as Spice Route, of some of South Africa's most noted vineyards. Occasional live entertainment spices up the atmosphere in the safari-themed dining room and bar. See website for full menu and exciting animated graphics. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Authentic Italian Dining |
2355 Peachtree Road Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 261 8186 |

Among menu favorites, the veal is perfectly seasoned and available in many presentations, and the pasta is always fresh. Don't forget a glass of Chianti to round out your traditional Italian meal.

The owner of this small eatery owns two restaurants. Antica Posta here in Buckhead, and the other in Venice, Italy. Can you say, "authentic Italian?" The small yellow house dates to 1923, and provides an intimate backdrop. Three separate dining rooms break the volume and keep the atmosphere light and personal. If you can pronounce "gnocchetti di patate al ragu di Coniglia," you'll be rewarded with homemade potato dumplings in traditional Tuscan meat sauce, for a mere $13.

Locals' Choice |
3424 Piedmont Road Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 266 3787 |
An Atlanta standby, El Azteca has brought affordable and great-tasting Mexican to Atlanta for years. The decor favors most Mexican restaurants, with booths, tables, and a large bar. Outside, the expansive patio is pleasant during fair weather, but can get a little noxious during rush hour as commuters come off nearby GA 400. The great platters are a sure bet, offering mountains of everything from tacos and enchiladas to cheese-laden refried beans and rice. Try the famous guacamole with complementary tortilla chips and a pitcher of beer or a margarita. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A Local Favorite |
2184 Cheshire Bridge Road Atlanta, GA 30324 United States +1 404 325 7630 |
Showcasing the cuisine of several regions of China, this neighborhood favorite keeps a pretty low profile despite the wonderful creations of its kitchen. Although the decor is not particularly extravagant and the comfortable ambiance is rather, well, ordinary, Buckhead and Midtown would kill for a joint with this kind of fast, affordable chow mein. The great Chinese specialties are highlighted by the seafood items, a favorite of the chef. Of particular note are the sautéed shrimp dinner and the magical dim sum. Review © 2007, Wcities |

3321 Lenox Road NE Atlanta, GA 30326 United States +1 404 237 7534 |
When the shopping grind at Lenox Square takes it out of you, put it back in across the street at Houston's. The low light and dark wood make for a warm environment that's as suitable for families as it is for romantic, steak-loving couples. The brass-appointed bar becomes lively after work and on weekends, and is serviceable by the kitchen for solo dining. The steaks, prime rib and baby back ribs are superb, not to mention much more reasonably priced than at some of the well-known steakhouses in the neighborhood. The salmon also comes highly recommended. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Traditional Lebanese favorites such as tabouleh are expertly prepared, and the hummus is recognized as being among the best in the city. For a very satisfying entree, try the sautéed lamb.

An Atlanta Mainstay |
1931 Cheshire Bridge Road Atlanta, GA 30324 United States +1 404 874 6505 http://www.ninosatlanta.com/ |
Founded over 30 years ago, Nino's is one of the area's longest running restaurants, and continues to serve great Italian food that tastes like it's straight from Tuscany. The unassuming decor is almost kitsch-y in places, with old paintings and red vinyl everywhere, but this just adds to the charm. Start with the best antipasti in the city, then move on to one of the exceptional veal or chicken dishes. The pasta, whatever your preference for shape or sauce, never misses.

Fine Italian-American Food |
3365 Piedmont Road Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 261 1312 |
One of Buckhead's cozier atmospheres for Americanized Italian specialties, this small restaurant boasts a loyal local following. The dining room is furnished with antique furniture and photos of the old country, while the kitchen, according to the owners, puts out "Italian comfort food" at its best. Try the fried calamari as an appetizer, then move on to the chicken saltimbocca, a house specialty. Lunch favorites include the meatball sandwiches and pizzas, and a nice wine list is offered for your perusal. Reservations required for parties of six or more. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Tops for Hot Tamales |
1495 Chattahoochee Avenue Atlanta, GA 30318 United States +1 404 352 9009 http://www.nuevolaredocantina.com |
Buckhead has numerous Mexican restaurants, but none so uniquely qualified to educate gringos on the delights of authentic, south-of-the-border cuisine. Voted Best Mexican in Atlanta five years in a row, this laid-back eatery is a popular choice with the locals. The signature homemade tamales highlight a menu that includes noteworthy fajitas, enormous burritos and a delectable selection of Mexican desserts. Several winning vegetarian dishes are also offered. Beer and wine only. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Ribs the right way |
25 Irby Avenue Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 233 7644 http://www.onestarranch.com |
Tucked into what looks like part of the Rio Bravo parking lot, this ramshackle shack serves possibly the finest ribs in the city. Red, oilcloth tablecloths give it that BBQ joint feel that one needs in order to make a mess without embarrassment, and the roadhouse decor is capped off by the Texas flag flying high outside. From the ribs to the chicken to the barbecue sandwiches, everything at the Ranch is drenched in one of the thickest, spiciest sauces out there. Cold beer and full bar service are available.

Unique Twists on an Ancient Art |

Located directly on the Chattahoochee River, the Orient specializes in fine Chinese food that will surprise and delight. A very subdued environment is set off wonderfully by views of the slow-rolling river, but you will want to call early and ask for a seat by the window for the best effect. The menu features authentic, traditional Chinese favorites, all masterfully prepared with modern twists. If you have grown tired of Chinese food, the unique dishes at the Orient will open your eyes wide to new flavors. Full bar service. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Critic's Choice |
1232 West Paces Ferry Road Atlanta, GA 30327 United States +1 404 261 3662 http://www.buckheadrestaurants... |
This culinary duo has been mixing up sweet temptations in Atlanta for years, but nowhere with more success than at their namesake restaurant. Formal but not stuffy, business attire is required in the dining room. Seating is very limited, so call early, particularly for weekend reservations. An elegant lounge area is set off from the main restaurant. Start with the chilled lobster bisque or the spicy filet mignon tartar, then move on to the veal, lamb, or beef tenderloin, or go for the seafood, which includes snapper, grouper and salmon.

Grab a Bench and a Beer |
260 E. Paces Ferry Road NE Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 264 1334 |
Each of Atlanta's three Park Bench pubs is unique to its neighborhood, and each boasts its own particular style. At the Decatur location, you're likely to find a bohemian couple sitting next to an university professor while young professionals order drinks nearby. The Buckhead location sits at ground zero for crazy weekend nightlife, while the Emory crowd tends to be younger and more laid-back. Quality up-and-coming bands are featured Wednesdays through Saturdays. While these clubs are not known for their fine dining, the pizza and standard pub fare is respectable. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Worth the Wait |
1123 Peachtree Street Atlanta, GA 30309 United States +1 404 892 6195 |
This often crowded restaurant does not provide much in the way of peaceful dining, but the Italian is some of the best in the city. Sometimes cozy, sometimes frantic, the dining room is decorated with traditional Italian items, and as the name suggests, clowns. Traditional Italian is the rage here, as well as some surprising twists, such as the special risottos and the wide variety of ravioli. You must wait in line to place your order, which can be tedious during peak hours, but the food is well worth it. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Even more, they also offer other baked goods such as oversized chocolate chip cookies and Lemon Shortbread Cookies.

Every town has a gathering spot for local politicians and celebrities, and when the bigwigs turn out for Southern cuisine in Atlanta, this is the spot. Sip a mint julep while you peruse the menu of regional specialties, from Savannah crab cakes to coastal venison pie, home-baked breads and deserts to tomato-based barbecue.

Posh & Pricey Italian |
500 Pharr Road at Mapale Drive Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 237 2941 http://www.buckheadrestaurants... |
This high-profile contemporary Italian spot was named among America's top new restaurants by Esquire magazine when it opened its doors in the late 90s. Since then, the untraditional, modern dining room has drawn consistent business crowds and developed a loyal local fan base. While the setting is quite formal, the food is no-nonsense old country, from homemade pastas, salads and pizzas to a wide array of regional seafood, fowl and meat dishes. A fantastic dessert menu is matched only by the well-respected wine list. Reservations are strongly encouraged. See website for menu and more information. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Steakhouse With a Twist |
3393 Peachtree Road (Lenox Mall) Atlanta, GA 30326 United States +1 404 812 0555 |
You'll pay a lot here, but the unusual blend of contemporary cuisine and traditional steak dishes is well worth it. Prime is situated in the front corner of Lenox Square, and the open-air dining room provides an elegant atmosphere overlooking the mall. There is an expansive bar for lounging as well. Prime is known for its steaks, but also offers sushi and other meat dishes. The steak is always perfectly prepared, and the sushi holds its own, although it doesn't quite match the more authentic preparations elsewhere in the city. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This airy late night cafe offers a casual respite for those with midnight hunger pangs. Just look for the pastel-colored suit of armor on the roof. The patio garden provides a somewhat exotic setting where patrons sample the healthy menu in the company of live parrots and cockatoos. The menu is heavily vegetarian, and includes many vegan-friendly selections. Smoothies and other health drinks are also popular with the regulars. Smoking, while infrequent, is permitted, and beer and wine is available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Despite a recent move to a new location, Raja Indian Restaurant continues to delight its steady stream of regular patrons with curry and tandoori dishes. A perennial favorite among critics, Raja has been included in Atlanta magazine's Best of Atlanta issue for 16 consecutive years. Authentic Indian decoration gives the restaurant an exotic, almost mystical ambiance, the proper atmosphere for spicy dining. The menu is classically Indian, with most dishes curried to perfection, including many chicken options and great nan bread. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Hidden away in an unassuming building, Red Snapper's consistently good seafood has made it an Atlanta favorite. The dining room has not been redecorated in quite some time, but still lends a comfortable, homey atmosphere to the restaurant. Red Snapper's menu is rife with simply presented, uncomplicated seafood. There are several varieties of red snapper, of course, all well prepared and always fresh. There are also terrestrial meat selections for the landlubber in your group. Some nice wines and full bar service are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Gina Hopkins of the husband-and-wife restaurateurs' team claims that cooking is in their blood. And it does manifest itself in the form of inspiring cuisine at this intimate eatery. From the fresh flowers adorning the wall to the American menu, everything is designed for a fine dining experience at Restaurant Eugene. Try the fois gras or the grilled chicken or pick from the sinful collection of cheese. The Warm Dark Chocolate Cake is perfect for dessert. All of them are served with the trademark southern hospitality that the Hopkins are famous for. Make time for the Sunday Suppers here, which are worth checking out as well. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Britain in Buckhead |

As traditionally English as you are likely to find in the American South, Newcastle and Bass are the favorites at this Buckhead pub. A relatively docile crowd enjoys the passable menu and the large selection of British ales, and on pleasant afternoons forms a small line on the sidewalk, as patio space is at a premium. A darts and billiard room is hidden in the back for those who are more used to English weather and English pursuits. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This Buckhead steakhouse has been named the Best Restaurant in the United States by the Robb Report. 'Where Atlanta' dubbed Ruth's Chris, Atlanta's Most Memorable Meal, and the elegant, clubbish feel of the bar and dining room is part of the reason. High ceilings, dim light, and impeccable service create a decadent dining experience. The beef is expensive and worth it, from the tender filet mignon to the dazzling porterhouse. Great sides and sinfully chocolate desserts come in servings large enough to share, and should also be sampled. Full bar.
