Happy New Years Eve my friends! This is officially my last post of 2015 so I thought I’d make it my absolute best. As many of you know one of my biggest passions in life is food. I love every type of food- healthy food, unhealthy food, ethnic food, fast food {yummy burgers}- you get the picture. One of the reasons why I decided to start Peaches to Pearls was to share this passion of food with you. It’s also one of the reasons I decided to get my Masters in Clinical Nutrition- to learn how food truly affects our bodies. So with all that being said, I am very excited to tell you that I have now eaten at 285 restaurants in Atlanta since I moved here four years ago.
Today I am going to share that list with you AND my Top 10 Best Atlanta Restaurants. I started doing this last year and it has now been a go-to list for anyone asking for restaurant suggestions while visiting Atlanta. Keep in mind, these are my personal favorite spots. You locals may disagree with them but I decided these were my top 10 based on food quality, price point, and ambiance. So here you go- the top 9 are in no particular order but my number 1 is my 2015 favorite restaurant in Atlanta.
It was difficult to come up with my favorite 10 restaurants. I have been incredibly blessed and able to eat at so many wonderful restaurants here in Atlanta this past year. Something you will never find on my blog is a bad restaurant review. I am by no means a food critic so I do not feel it is my place to write something negative about a restaurant. Nevertheless, when I do love a restaurant I will sing their praises. I chose my top 10 based on my overall experience at these restaurants. So how exactly did I decide my #1 you ask? Well it’s simple- which restaurant did I eat this year that I would want to go back over and over again? This years number one spot goes to Ford Fry’s restaurant, Marcel.
Located in Westside Provisions District, Marcel’s is a European inspired steakhouse that focuses on creating fresh, locally sourced dishes. Oddly enough, the only thing I have not tried is their steak but I can imagine it’s delectable. I have tried their shrimp dish, duck breast salad, burger, clams and croque madame and they were all to die for. Marcel has something for everyone which is why it’s a great restaurant to take family to. If you haven’t gone there yet, make it your New Years Resolution to try it out.
Here is the list of every restaurant I have tried in Atlanta. I can recommend at least one dish to try at each one so if you need suggestions, please let me know. Happy New Year my fellow foodies!
Xo,
Best salad you’ve had? 🙂
