Alon's Bakery
Alon's Bakery Atlanta's most revered bakery doubles as a go-to market for anyone needing a dinner-party item or picnic-basket stuffer. The goods include gourmet cheeses, wine, chicken salad, egg salad and all manner of pastry.

Bone's Restaurant
Bone's is all about old money and the local Buckhead powerbrokers but also gets top votes as Atlanta's best steakhouse. With lots of wood and brass and eager-to-please staff this old-school restaurant oozes class and serves up mouth-watering steaks.
-
Fat Matt's Rib Shack
Less than a mile north of Piedmont Park, a much more down-home choice is divey Fat Matt's, a shrine to two great Southern traditions: barbecue and the blues. Take special note of the Brunswick stew, a delicious side dish best described as barbecue soup.
-
Flying Biscuit Café
Sleep in if you want, the Flying Biscuit serves all-day breakfasts of omelets, organic oatmeal pancakes, fried green tomatoes and tasty grits, all accompanied by their justifiably famous fluffy biscuits. A diverse, happy crowd enjoys the rest of the vegetarian-friendly menu of black bean quesadillas and veggie burgers.

Front Page News
This place has a lush, roomy patio and a Sunday brunch featuring live jazz and a Bloody Mary bar. The Louisiana-style menu offers sandwiches, salads and heartier fare like jambalaya. At night, the scene gets lively, especially at weekends.
-
Kyma
This restaurant luxuriates in the sensuous simplicity of Greek food. Start with the trio of traditional spreads, then choose between fish: will it be the dorado, the pompano or the barramundi? This is a high-end place, so dress accordingly.
-
MF Sushi Bar
Lots of trendy restaurants populate the slick Midtown neighborhood, but this place is one of the slickest (and best). The ultimate treat is to order omakase , an off-the-menu move that allows the chef total control over your meal. If that's too risky (or too expensive), the standard rolls and fish pieces are here - they're just better than usual. The MF, by the way, stands for Magic Fingers.

Nam Chun Hong
Blessed with a thriving immigrant community, Atlanta has a plethora of Asian and Latin eateries, many of which can be found along this fascinating, sprawling stretch of strip malls. Adventurous diners can simply hop in the car and explore the drag, stopping at whatever looks interesting. But those who need a destination to get started should consider Nam Chun Hong the home to scrumptious pan-fried dumplings.
-
Sotto Sotto
A lively, trendy restaurant with crisp service and an ever-delighting menu of Italian dishes. The risotto is heaven on Earth. Reservations suggested.
-
Sweet Auburn Curb Market
Like the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia or the Ferry Building in San Francisco (but, frankly, not as nice as either) the Curb Market allows foodies to browse countless stalls for cooking ingredients or hot meals served on the premises.

Varsity
The world's largest drive-in restaurant and an Atlanta institution since 1928, the Varsity is a glorified fast-food joint, but it's always packed with folks ordering walk-a-dogs (hot dogs), glorified steaks (hamburgers) and bags of rags (fries).
-
Vortex Bar & Grill
Walk through the gaping jaws of a giant skull and enter the Vortex, a scrappy joint with a snarky menu boasting '140 styles of gourmet burgers,' an ideal meal before hitting the L5P bar scene. Ages 18 and up only.
-
Watershed
Simply outstanding (and outstandingly simple), this is the place for traditional Southern food done up with just a touch of class. Tuesday night is fried chicken night; get there early or the birds will be gone. Any other night, order the veggie plate - you've never had a better one. The restaurant's vibe is friendly and casual, and James Beard Award-winning chef Scott Peacock is nothing less than a local hero.
