From fine to casual dining, Atlanta offers many dining options ranging from French to African to Asian to Cajun that suit many different palates. And when it comes to nightlife, Atlanta is both vibrant and sophisticated, bringing out some interesting and colorful characters.
For downtown Atlanta dining, the place to see and be seen is the ever-popular City Grill, which puts out fancy renderings of old Southern classics. For no-nonsense, wood-paneled charm, Dailey's is the palace for you.
When feeling out Atlanta downtown dining, where do you find the best Russian cuisine in the city? Look up. Nikolai's Roof on the 30th floor of the Atlanta Hilton and Towers will take your breath away. You'll find the Westin well-stocked, too, from the Savannah Fish Company at street level to the elegant, rotating Sun Dial offering unparalleled views from the roof. For local tradition, few options can touch the Varsity. Since 1928, this white tiled drive-in has turned out greasy dogs and chili burgers to rave reviews.
But for great dining, downtown Atlanta isnt the only choice. Trendy Buckhead packs more tables per square foot than anywhere else, and features many of Atlanta's hippest offerings. Nava's upscale Tex-Mex fusion is capped by the most dazzling dessert cart in town, while Chops vies with Bone's for top dog status in the steak and business game. For unbridled contemporary elegance, it's 103 West, while seafood takes center stage under the three story, 50 ton copper trout at The Atlanta Fish Market, a popular stop for media mogul Ted Turner.
So pack your palate and get ready to move your belt a notch. Atlanta is waiting.
