The Best Places in North Buckhead & around

  1. Original artwork lines the walls of this elegant Buckhead fine dining room, where the menu shifts with the seasons and braised meats are something of a calling card. The wine list runs deep, and a sommelier is on hand if you'd rather not go it alone. A James Beard nominee for Outstanding Hospitality, which gives you a sense of how the room reads the room. AAA Four Diamonds.

  2. A Michelin-starred omakase counter where the chef and a small team run a multicourse Japanese meal that leans traditional without getting stiff about it. The nigiri is the quiet center of the room, each piece constructed with purpose rather than showmanship. Corn potage shows up and surprises everyone. The pacing moves from otsumami through nigiri to a panna cotta finish, keeping the whole thing feeling balanced rather than endless.

  12. A pasta shop tucked into a Buckhead shopping center, which sounds like a contradiction until you see the cement floors, open shelving, and sidewalk tables full of people working through house-made cacio e pepe. Nearly a dozen pasta formats run the menu at lunch and dinner, with focaccia sandwiches rounding things out at midday. The room is genuinely convivial in a way that feels earned rather than designed.

  13. Rank 12. Tomo

    Sushi

    Floor-to-ceiling windows anchor the dining room of this contemporary sushi restaurant tucked into the Ritz-Carlton Residences on Peachtree. The menu leans slightly American in sensibility, running through eight plated courses before the sushi sequence begins. Four seats are reserved for omakase only, booked well ahead, while the rest of the room moves at a quieter pace that suits the address.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
