Fishmonger

seafood · Bib

It's part fish market, part casual spot here, where a single communal table and stools lined up at the windows await guests. Order at the back counter from a compact, seafood-focused menu listing oysters, crudos, sandwiches and soups. This is not your typical fried fish shack, though, and many of the dishes have a Southern slant to them. Peel and eat shrimp is a good standby, while tuna melts are leveled up. Specials driven by the daily catch are always a good bet, but the house staple—the blackened grouper sandwich—is a winner. A thick piece of generously spiced, blackened grouper is draped o

The General Muir

Deli, American

$$$

The General Muir is a looker; light filled and clean with a comfortable retro-chic style. The walls are adorned with black-and-white photos from another era—yet another reminder that this style of food has a deep history. Both a market and a sit-down restaurant, it's the kind of place you'd see every few blocks in New York but not as often in Atlanta. Come as you are for a bowl of matzoh ball soup with its flavorful broth that cures all ails. The Lower East Side platter comprises a bagel, a schmear of cream cheese and thin shavings of that inimitable smoked Nova with its unmistakably buttery t

Chai Pani

Indian, Regional Cuisine

Decatur's Chai Pani is a festive place, where strings of lights and colorful artwork keep things high spirited, and the kitchen looks to locally sourced ingredients to create the seasonally minded South Asian dishes. The versatile menu is detailed with enticing descriptions that may just to convince you to try one more dish, and there are plenty of options for family-style dining. Whether dining a deux or with a group, enjoy the likes of butter chicken, that deliciously rich staple of boneless chicken in a tomato-cream butter sauce, or fried okra, with its ever so easy to eat lightly seasoned

Fawn

Seafood

$$$$

There are two ways to experience Decatur's Fawn. Those who want to stop in for a bite and a drink will discover an interesting amaro selection and wine list alongside a seafood-focused à la carte that tempts with everything from fritto misto and crudos to dry-aged fish. However, the tasting menu is where this place really shines. Creative, unexpected and often bold, this is where the kitchen does its best work. House-made spaghettini with a hazelnut miso and uni is finished with caviar, shaved cured egg yolk and summer truffle for a spectacular dish, while hiramasa is dry-aged for 14 days and

The White Bull

American

$$$

Chef Pasquale Pascarella has created a contemporary space in the heart of Decatur. There are subtle nods to Ernest Hemingway, who famously said the blank page was his "white bull," though this is far from a theme park. This New American, seasonally minded menu has an array of small dishes, house-made pastas and main dishes, all displaying subtle and thoughtful cooking. From churning their own butter to milling their own flour, they take extra steps to ensure freshness. Kick things off with mahi crudo, then tuck in to tortelli in a butter sauce with roasted corn, fresnos, pickled enoki and parm

The Deer and the Dove

Contemporary, Southern

$$$$

Chef/owner Terry Koval and his talented team create memorable dishes at this restaurant with a lovely, rustic feel. First up? House-made salted yeast rolls, served hot alongside garden herb butter, then the harvest plate with a beautiful display of vegetables, that's perfect for sharing. House-made pappardelle tossed with morels, whipped lemon ricotta and parmesan is an elevated dish of comfort, while the smoked duck hits the spot. Crisply skinned duck served alongside duck leg pâté en croûte with Hudson Valley foie gras and a glossy duck bone jus is just right. Cocktails are especially fun, a

Whoopsie's

american · Bib

Make no mistake— Whoopsie's is a fun, quirky spot where you'll yearn to be a regular. If you do, you won't be bored, as their menu is a constantly evolving mix of cold dishes, hot dishes that also work well as sides, and a daily changing protein (think prime rib one day and roasted chicken thighs with golden-brown skin another), plus a sandwich of the day. You won't leave hungry, as the portions are generous, and the cooking is humble but well executed. Kick things off with the Southern snack tray, served on a plastic cafeteria tray with the various compartments filled with a collection of Sou

Arepa Mia

Venezuelan, Small eats · Bib

Founder/owner Lis Hernández dials up the charm at Arepa Mia in Avondale Estates. Warm hospitality is a hallmark here, where bright walls and colorful metal chairs and tables instantly boost your mood. The Venezuelan menu is all about the namesake arepas, grilled and filled with everything from yucca and plantain flour-encrusted chicken to pernil with caramelized onions. Other items include patacones and cachapas. The cooking and ingredients are quality driven, and the portions are generous. Feast on selections like the hearts of palm and avocado salad to start, then tuck in to a fried chicken
