The Most Romantic Restaurants in Atlanta
"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."

"Kaleidoscope Bistro serves “global comfort food” that looks and tastes different each time – hence the name. The restaurant integrates a blend of flavors from Southern, Asian, Mexican, and Mediterranean influences. Owner Joey Riley attended the Culinary Institute of America in New York and worked with renowned chefs before opening up his dream restaurant in 2010 in Brookhaven."
"With a menu containing over 800 beer selections, The Porter Beer Bar is the perfect place for enthusiasts. Both draft and bottled brews are offered from local breweries and every imaginable corner of the earth. The food is also surprisingly good here."
"Sure, there’s more than 400 beers on the menu at this Little Five Points bar but it also offers an impressive whiskey collection behind the bar, too."
"is a fresh, innovative and exciting dining concept that offers delectable appetizers and a wide variety of New Orleans signature dishes, such as Jambalaya Pasta, BBQ Shrimp Linguine and Crawfish Ravioli, as well as sandwiches, salads, wraps, burgers and bistro dishes. Additionally, guests enjoy America’s Best Cheesecake with signature toppings like bananas Foster and white chocolate strawberry."
"I love this place, people is great nice friendly and the best of all is that they treat each customer with respect and not based on race, you got…"
"Aside from restaurateurs, some of these eateries are owned by celebrities. Let’s take a look at the best black restaurants in Atlanta."
"For the traveler in all of us, let Brezza Cucina transport you to the Italian countryside with their authentic Italian fare complimented by New American influences. Anchoring the east end of the Central Food Hall, Brezza Cucina offers a laid-back environment with two relaxed dining areas and a lounge, perfect for a business lunch, a casual family gathering or a quick dinner with a friend. Brighten your Sunday morning with Brezza's brunch offerings including the frittata del Giorno, the simple yet flavorful pizza Brezza and the savory roasted chicken salad in a bed of arugula topped with prosciutto and parmesan."
"Keep on walking and you’ll eventually hit Piedmont Park, Atlanta’s answer to Central Park. Think: more biking and walking trails, a serene lake, meadows for flying kites and throwing frisbees, and terrific views of the downtown skyline. Just don’t get too comfortable—you’ve got a two-mile walk back to Krog Street Market, where you can dig into puffy tacos at Superica, a buzzy Tex-Mex joint from ATL's kingpin restaurateur Ford Fry, or check out one of the beloved nearby restaurants. Ammazza is heaven for Neapolitan pizza and craft beer; Staplehouse is a decidedly fancier affair, offering both a tasting menu and elegant a la carte options."
"Often called the Central Park of Atlanta, Piedmont Park provides a ton of lush green space for whatever weekend activity you can think of. Conveniently situated near Midtown with stunning views of the city skyline, our first pick is a familiar spot for many locals. Filled with various restaurants, basketball and tennis courts, a pond, a swimming pool, and picnic areas with grills, this is the park that has it all."
"Even better, take a short cab/Uber ride to the Virginia Highland area near Piedmont Park and go over to The Highlander, with classic pub grub, a nice outdoor patio, pinball, air hockey, and pool tables. The people are cool and the food is great, especially the the excellent Southern Slam Burger with a loaded baked potato on the side."
"BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir opened in 2007; the ornately carved temple is the largest of its kind outside the motherland, chiseled from Italian marble, Turkish limestone, and Indian sandstone. It’s free to enter, but guests are asked to bring one vegetarian canned good for donation."
"The Herndon Home is the former residence of Alonzo Franklin Herndon. Born into slavery in 1858, Herndon went on to be one of the most successful African-American businessmen in the South and Atlanta’s first black millionaire. The imposing Greek Revival mansion, constructed between 1905 and 1910, is also notable for being designed by a woman, Adrienne McNeil Herndon (Alonzo Herndon’s first wife), in an era in which this was rare."
"Just 90-minutes south-west from ATL’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, Chattahoochee River Park is the place to spend the day outside. With activities ranging from whitewater rafting, fishing, riverside trails for jogging, walking, or cycling, a zipline, and a splash pad. This is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, and if getting there is a concern, we’d be happy to get you there and back comfortably."
"Buckhead’s Chattahoochee National Park is a sanctuary in the city. A beautiful recreation area and idyllic spot to enjoy Atlanta’s best hiking on many elevations overlooking serene landscapes, all so close to the heart of downtown Buckhead."
