Atlanta - Restaurants

Dining - Local Cuisine & Customs in Atlanta

When it comes to dining in Atlanta, you will discover that this is a city of contrasts. This is still a city that takes its cheap eats and soul food very seriously, but it is also a world capital that has embraced its fame and now sports more fine dining establishments than one would expect for the size of the population. In general, the nicer restaurants are clustered in the downtown core and in the super fashionable Buckhead area, while more reasonable chains and cheap eats are sprinkled throughout the rest of the city.

Atlanta even has its share of celebrity chefs that have opened their own restaurants here. Your hotel concierge is a great source of information when it comes to picking out the best places to eat within walking distance of your room and remember, this is a city with too many good restaurants to justify waiting in line. Just keep walking and pick the next door down. Chances are, it will impress you all the same.

One aspect that makes the dining scene in Atlanta so much fun is the fact that this city is truly an amalgamation of other cities and other populations all working together. There is an old saying about Atlanta: if you live here, you aren’t from here. This is an exaggeration, of course, but it is meant to communicate just how many people live here that moved here from other places. Different people may interpret this in different ways, but when it comes to the restaurant scene, it is good news because you can find almost any kind of cuisine, from Creole to authentic Mexican, French, Korean and Japanese to down home favorites that locals have been eating here for decades.

Best of all, the competition here is fierce, which means that prices are kept down, quality is kept up and pretenders, like Emeril Lagasse, are forced to close down their restaurant in Atlanta because it just didn’t measure up. To be fair, the Buckhead area is packed with high end restaurants lead by celebrity chefs and is pretty much the only part of town where people will stand waiting in line. Be prepared to drop some serious cash if you dine here, but the rest of Atlanta can be quite affordable to diners, even if you are looking for something upscale.

Many locals will tell you it isn’t the fine dining in Atlanta that deserves all the attention, but the soul food. Low end dining spots like the Waffle House won’t ever win any awards, but many locals eat there daily. Of course, no trip to Atlanta is complete without a bite from an authentic Georgia peach. You’ll find the peach featured heavily on menus across the city, including in your entrée.
