Highland Bakery
The business has expanded to outposts in Midtown and Buckhead, but we remain loyal to the bustling original. Grab a signature cinnamon roll if you’re in a hurry, but it’s worth sticking around for a sit-down meal.
The General Muir
The General Muir opened for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in late January, and it’s already (deservedly) crowded in the morning.
The Flying Biscuit Cafe
Ah, the bumpy flight of the Flying Biscuit. In 2007 owner Delia Champion partnered with local franchise operator Raving Brands to expand beyond the Candler Park original and its Midtown offshoot. The quality at the franchised branches (there are now nine in Georgia) falters. The flagship, launched in 1993, has experienced its own ups and downs over the years, though recently we returned to find the cooking improved.
Douceur de France
Look for omelets and pain perdu (a hybrid take on French toast dolled up with strawberries, bananas, and whipped cream) among open-faced sandwiches and savory crepes.
Buttermilk Kitchen
The eclectic decor looks like the handiwork of your artiest friend. The kitchen is still finding its footing, but count on the flaky, fluffy biscuits and a couple of Vizethann’s more inventive plates to please.
Bantam and Biddy
Shaun Doty's savvy approach extends to breakfast, when he plies sleepy customers with pork schnitzel and chopped liver on toast straight from the lunch and dinner menus.
American Roadhouse
Since 1989 the restaurant has served reassuring scrambles and flapjacks to generations of recent college grads and young families—and to ageless partiers grateful for the bottomless cup of coffee.
Gio’s Chicken Amalfitano not open quite yet
At the end of November, Giovanni Di Palma will open his second restaurant in Atlanta, Gio's Chicken Amalfitano. Di Palma's first restaurant, Antico Pizza, has been a genuine phenomenon in Atlanta's dining scene. Gio's is the first step in an ambitious piazza-styled development that Di Palma has planned for the area immediately surrounding Antico. We figure it's going to be a big deal. Here's the general idea via press release:
Sway – Hyatt Regency Atlanta
Sway is one of the final touches of Hyatt Regency Atlanta’s $65 million transformation in 2011. Like the hotel’s new entrance, guest check-in and Atrium Lobby, Sway was designed to be more open, welcoming and convenient, and to allow guests places to socialize, network or conduct business.
Park Bar
ark Bar’s logo and exterior signage were inspired by the Centennial Olympic Park brass plaques found at all park entrances. Exterior paint, earth tones (beige and green), were drawn from Centennial Olympic park. Colors were also selected to complement adjacent building which is home to a Subway restaurant.
