Welcome to Atlanta's Best Eats!
This is not a definitive list of restaurants in Atlanta, but rather a list of the restaurants that we have thoroughly enjoyed in the area. We created this list because, quite simply, we enjoy good food. While sites such as CitySearch provide excellent lists of restaurants, it's often hard to filter out the great from the mediocre. We put together a list of restaurants that we thought were top notch! We do not necessarily consider ourselves the authority of fine cuisine. We do, however, consider ourselves "foodies," that is, we enjoy a wide array of cuisines. Please keep in mind that we may have a potentially biased set of taste buds, so you may not agree with all of our choices.
We do want to stress that this website is purely a volunteer effort. We are not being paid by any of the businesses we mention here. We are simply two people who enjoy good food and want to share our love of food with others. If you have any feedback of any restaurant recommendations, we encourage you leave this at our Guestbook page.
Without further ado, here is our list of restaurant recommendations!
What's New?
4-Aug-2008Sadly, our time in Atlanta has ended. As you can see, Atlanta has blessed us with some amazing food. We may visit again, and if we do, we will likely be visiting some of old favorite haunts. With that in mind, we'd like to offer our very own Atlanta's Best Eats awards.

As an experiment, I converted this list to a WordPress blog. Over the next few weeks, I will continue to update this version of the page as well as the official Atlanta's Best Eats Blog, until I find out which one is truly the easiest one to maintain. It would also help if you could give some feedback, either through the blog page or through our current Guestbook (which has been sorely under-used).
