Rank 3. Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen
Southern Italian
A converted house on Brookhaven Circle, divided into small, snug rooms that feel borrowed from a dinner party rather than a restaurant. The kitchen runs Southern Italian, with pastas and appetizers doing most of the heavy lifting, and a soft spot for pork that shows up everywhere, including breakfast-inflected openers that make you reconsider the day's first meal. Andy Ticer and Michael Hudman are Memphis names worth knowing. The Michelin Guide has taken notice.

The mid-century bones, globe lights, and tall windows looking onto South Main suggest a certain kind of restaurant, and then the menu arrives to politely disagree. This fusion dinner spot folds Indian, Mexican, Thai, and Italian into each other without apparent anxiety, and the corn mash, which the New York Times flagged as one of the standout dishes of 2024, is a case study in how that audacity pays off. The chef earned a James Beard semifinalist nod in 2026. Portions run large, so bring company.

Rank 15. Felicia Suzanne's
Southern
Scarlet banquettes, a long marble bar, and checkered tile set a confident tone in downtown Memphis before you've even opened the menu. This is a Southern restaurant with a clear point of view, where the kitchen leans into Gulf shrimp, tasso ham, jalapeño cornbread, and fried quail with spiced honey, all without apology. Chef Felicia Suzanne has been at this long enough that the regulars probably know the menu cold, and the room still fills anyway.

Rank 25. Petals of a Peony
Sichuan
Strip-mall Sichuan in a Cordova shopping center, which tells you nothing until the mapo tofu arrives and your tongue goes briefly numb. Petals of a Peony is a casual Chinese restaurant that built its reputation on the kind of chili heat that requires planning ahead. The portions run large, so a group and a willingness to order past the point of reason are your best tools here. The Michelin Guide has it on their list, which tracks.
