Atlanta Restaurants

Local cuisine

Atlanta’s dining scene is rich and varied and as vibrant and colourful as every other aspect of its culture. The cuisine comprises an eclectic mix of traditional local food with popular international influences.
 
In downtown Atlanta, you’ll find a vast selection of eateries cooking up an equally extensive variety of food types. Traditional Southern restaurants serve popular meat dishes such as buttermilk fried chicken and gravy. Other southern delights include fried catfish, okra pancakes and macaroni cheese. The Midtown area is equally as busy with a huge number of American restaurants as well as countless international eateries. While not especially southern, steak and seafood restaurants are another popular choice.

Where to eat

The city’s international restaurant scene is exceptional with almost every conceivable cuisine covered. In the downtown area you’ll find Italian, Latin, Cuban, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese while in Midtown there’s a similar selection plus Greek, Thai and Indian. Cajun, Caribbean, Mediterranean and Mexican restaurants can also be found in a variety of locations.
