The FIFA World Cup 2026 Atlanta games kick off on June 15, and while much of the soccer world's attention will be focused on the field at Atlanta Stadium (aka Mercedes-Benz Stadium), visitors to our fair city will also be wondering where to fuel up. We tapped some of Atlanta’s top food and beverage personalities to share where they like to eat and drink on a day off and where they’d take visiting friends and family. Take a page from their book to build out your perfect Atlanta dining itinerary—either for visiting soccer fans or for yourself.

Burrata is rich and can easily be served on its own with some bread. For those who haven’t yet had the pleasure, chef Pat Pascarella describes it best: it’s like mozzarella squared. Here's where to find great burrata dishes in Atlanta.

Ever since Jonathan Waxman’s Italian restaurant Brezza Cucina closed at Ponce City Market last year, the cold, industrial-looking space has sat vacant, like a ghost amid an otherwise vibrant food hall. Tal Baum and her Olivia Restaurant Group (Bellina Alimentari, Aziza, and Rina) are set to change that with the opening of Atrium on January 31.

Vertical aeroponic farm towers from Copiana are growing fresh produce—think rainbow chard, bok choy, basil, cucumbers, peppers, lettuce, green onions, celery, and tomatoes—that will be given to restaurants, office workers, and residents in the building.

Hit hard by the pandemic, food halls, like Ponce City Market and Krog Street Market, and their vendors are figuring out how to hang on.

When Rina, the new restaurant from Aziza's Tal Baum, opens in the Ford Factory Lofts, it will bring a slice of Israeli beach life to the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail.

Atlanta has its fair share of Middle Eastern spots, but true, full-service Israeli restaurants are another story. Bellina Alimentari owner Tal Baum is looking to change that with the opening of Aziza in the Westside Provisions District this month.

Though there are abundant “Middle Eastern” restaurants in Atlanta, ones designated as “Israeli” are rare; Tal Baum and a few other chefs are trying to change that. Three new restaurateurs are bringing Israeli-style food to Atlanta.

Among the four new properties announced for Westside Provisions District are a new Italian restaurant from the Storico Fresco team and an Israeli restaurant from Bellina Alimentari's owner.

I cannot contain my disdain for the appetizer cheese course. Cheese is rich and, depending on the kind, funky. It satiates your appetite. It induces sleepiness, even. Why would anyone eat it at the beginning of the meal?
