The Most Romantic Restaurants in Atlanta
"There was once a time when you couldn’t get a good matzo ball soup in town. Now, you can find a sublime bowl in a glamorous space that evokes vintage Manhattan. In seven years, the General Muir has become indispensable for its upscale Jewish deli–inspired menu: If you have a hankering for piled-high pastrami on rye or chopped liver with pletzel bread, there is no better place."
"A post shared by Blue Durango Iced Tea (@bluedurangotea) on Aug 27, 2017 at 9:41am PDT. “For years, Atlanta’s deli-starved craved something like tHE General Muir… The Emory Point deli/brasserie has become an Atlanta institution…”. Best of Atlanta 2016, Creative Loafing (September 2016) Review raves of the authenticity of this little Deli!"
"Teaming up with West Egg owners Jennifer and Ben Johnson, chef Todd Ginsberg crafted a classic Jewish deli in Emory Point."
"Nikolai’s Roof, which sits atop the Hilton Atlanta, boasts world-class dining: It was the first restaurant in the Southeastern U.S. to receive the coveted Four Star Award from AAA, and has held onto the honor for 27 consecutive years (longer than any other restaurant in Atlanta). The fine dining menu presents modern American cuisine with Russian influences, more than 900 wine options, and signature house-infused vodkas. Swanky sophisticated white-gloved dinner service with panoramic views of the Atlanta skyline is offered Tuesday through Saturday."
"I first went to Nikolai’s Roof a million years ago when my college boyfriend took me there. Located at the top of the Hilton Atlanta, Nikolai’s is definitely an impressive place. When I saw a deal pop up for a four-course dinner there, I opted for it for my birthday dinner."

"Aria continues to be one of Buckhead’s top date night destinations. After years of serving classic, white-tablecloth fine dining, chef Gerry Klaskala remodeled his Buckhead staple restaurant to appeal to a younger generation of diners. Now it’s a bit more relaxed and casual — there’s a walk-in ready bar and lounge for drinks and snacks for an impromptu night out."
"Buckhead mainstay Aria is consistently named of the top restaurants in Atlanta, and we invite you to come SEE why for yourself!. To start off your meal, enjoy their lobster appetizer consisting of soft, buttery lobster and smooth, creamy truffle potatoes. For a main course, their scallops are always perfectly seared."
"Whether the date night in question is prom, an anniversary, an engagement, or some less monumental event, Aria is up to the occasion. The pewter-walled room is dim and columned and draped, a modern evocation of ancient Rome. The food similarly updates the classics."
"Promising artful eats for simple folk, the Folk Art Restaurant is an all-day diner-style joint that dishes up some of the finest versions of Atlanta’s favorite breakfasts. From the classic chicken and waffles to the huge biscuits serve with house-made jellies or sausage gravy, it’s no surprise that locals just keep coming back for more. Although the restaurant does offer lunch and dinner offerings, it’s the breakfast menu that really blows the minds of all those who come to visit."
"The original Inman Park location is sure to present people with a bit of a wait, but it’s worth it. Folk Art has earned a reputation for having some of the best brunch fare in Atlanta since opening in 2013. Having opened a second location in Decatur in the former Thumbs Up space, Folk Art continues to pull in throngs of patrons there, too."
"465 North Highland Avenue Northeast (Inman Park) & Another Location in Decatur. Inman Park is known for having some of the best restaurants in Atlanta. As one of the top brunch places in Atlanta, Folk Art fits perfectly into the neighborhood."
"With all of this gorgeous weather that Atlanta has been experiencing, nothing can beat having brunch outside, and luckily, Joe’s On Juniper has a nice and spacious outdoor patio. The popular LGBTQ+ restaurant and bar also offers brunch all day, so although it doesn’t officially open on the weekends until 1pm, you can still enjoy enjoy a late brunch with great menu items such as the Basic Bitch (eggs, bacon, specialty potatoes, and a homemade biscuit), Birds In A Blanket (Delia’s chicken sausage fried in waffle batter), and the Flaming Waffle Sandwich (Nashville hot fried chicken, egg, bacon, and a cayenne-maple drizzle).How to book: Walk in for patio seating or order takeout online."
"Delbar gave us one with beautiful design and food that tastes good whether it’s enjoyed in the upscale confines or at home. The food: Persian food is known for being labor-intensive, and you can tell that the chefs at Delbar don’t cut corners. Dishes like the adana kabob (lamb) are incredibly tender and flavorful, while the kashk bademjoon (eggplant spread with mint and cream of whey) spread on a piece of warm taftoon bread is pure comfort."
"Located in Inman Park and translating to ‘heart, captured’ in Farsi, Delbar, a Middle Eastern restaurant and bar that opened last summer, delivers a menu of classic Persian cuisine with Israeli, Turkish and Lebanese touches. The restaurant’s expansive outdoor patio (seen in photo above) seamlessly carries the open and natural interior to the outside. Seating in this area is first come, first served."
"6115 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd Suite 125, Sandy Springs, GA 30328 | (678) 395-6738. A new Atlanta restaurant opened at Perimeter Town Center in Sandy Springs in mid-2019. The restaurant marks Primo Hoagies’ inaugural entry into the metro Atlanta market."
"On this tour, learn about the city’s history and architecture with a stop at the beautiful 1928 Swan House and a visit to either the Margaret Mitchell House, the governor’s mansion, or the Rhodes Hall. Details of the tour depend on the day of the week and other details, but with three historic homes and two famous neighborhoods, you will learn more about Atlanta than on any other city tour."
"This Romanesque-style home is a rare surviving example of the mansions that once lined Atlanta’s fashionable Peachtree Street. The house was built for furniture man Amos Giles Rhodes in 1902-1904, its distinctive design inspired by the castles Rhodes saw on a visit to Germany’s Rhineland. The house is now occupied by the Georgia Trust, which offers tours of the historic property."
"This historic site includes several buildings, including the boyhood home of this civil rights leader, as well as the church where his father, and later King himself first came to preach. The firehouse that was once a main community center in the sixties, a civil rights walk of fame, and the “I Have a Dream” international world peace rose garden are also a part of this historic park. Opposite the visitor center, a large mural depicts scenes in Dr. Martin Luther King’s life."
"Learn about civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at this 35-acre complex that includes an interactive visitor’s center (look for the Junior Ranger activity books), the Ebenezer Baptist Church where King was a pastor, his gravesite, and even his birth home a few blocks away."
