EMPIRE STATE SOUTH
Here you will find a modern approach to creating authentic Southern dishes relying heavily on the food of our region. Located in the heart of Midtown Chef Hugh Acheson’s restaurant Empire State South’s menu changes daily, so you never know what to expect. But you do know that it will always be delicious and innovative. The community restaurant appeals to a broad range and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a to-go lunch program, courtyard bocce ball and extensive coffee bar.
Location:Â 999 Peachtree Street NE #140, Atlanta, GA 30309
MILLER UNION
A new American eatery with farm fresh dishes and an unpretentious atmosphere. At Miller Union, chef and partner Steven Satterfield cooks in an organic way by reacting to the ever-changing harvest of the seasons. The restaurant embodies an authentic approach to farmstead-inspired cooking, in which ingredients drive the menu. Its rustic atmosphere and Westside location all make this one of the best farm-to-table spots in Atlanta.
Location:Â 999 Brady Ave NW Atlanta, GA 30318
STAPLEHOUSE
Book now at this casual, neighborhood restaurant located in the Old 4th Ward neighborhood. The menu at Staplehouse changes based on the season, the ingredients available at the local farms and ultimately on the mood of the kitchen staff. But their approach of local sourcing and farm-to-table is working and working well. In fact, aside from the 8-seat bar that is available for walk-ins, reservations are a must..and not easy to come by. Book your next meal here in advance. The second Friday of each month, they release reservations for the following month, so if you want a specific date, watch for those seats to go up for grabs. You won’t regret it.
Location:Â Â 541 Edgewood Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30312
ONE EARED STAG
Quirky decor and a fun atmosphere are paramount to this farm to table restaurant serving home-cured meats and pickled vegetables. At One Eared Stag, the only thing you can always count on, is that the menu will never be the same. The Executive Chef and owner Robert Phalen is known for using uncommon ingredients or preparation methods that are too tasty to overthink. So, just go with it. And enjoy the meal.
