Places to eat in Atlanta

Cafe Lapin has 5 different kinds of chicken salad, burgers, sandwiches, salads, soups, and they have a delicious breakfast menu as well with eggs, pancakes, french toast and grits.
They also serve dinner and you can bring your own wine with no corkage fee.

Favorite Dish: breakfast

Boneheads has a menu with mostly grilled fish, including salmon, tilapia, Snapper, Mahi Mahi, shrimp, fish and chips, and grilled chicken with a variety of salsas and sauces. They have beer and wine as well as sodas and teas...a children's menu also.....

Favorite Dish: grilled salmon with pineapple salsa

A great little place that has changed hands a few times in the past few years but still has one of the best, freshest tasting veal picatta around Atlanta. Their house salad, which you can order a half size of, has wonderful dried tomatoes, fresh lettuces, olives, and the best dressing around town....I had the Lamb shank, Pop had the Grouper, Stepmother had the Picatta her special way, and Sis had chicken florentine or something like that.....All was great with good service in a crowded place even at 6:30 PM....They have a good Pinot Grigio house white you should get with the fish.....

Favorite Dish: Veal picatta and house salad

Le Madeleine is a chain of restaurant/bakery in Atlanta with lots of choices for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I usually eat lunch there, as they are near work. They have something called Le Duet, which is a half sandwich and a cup of soup, with either pesto pasta or chips for about $6-7. They have a really good french onion soup, and also a great tomato basil soup. They also have sweet stuff all homemade and delicious. This location is near the Perimeter Mall area.

Favorite Dish: Tomato Basil soup

Alon has 2 locations in the Atlanta area, and this one, the bigger of the 2, is across the street from Perimeter Mall. They bake all their own bread, of course, but they also have hot and cold dishes great for take-away, and they also have tables out front for outdoor eating. The make their own chocolates, they have a special cheese area, and the roasted lamb sandwich is to die for.....They also sell wine and beer, and coffee drinks as well.

Favorite Dish: Roasted lamb sandwich with a Dr Brown's Diet Black Cherry.

Las Margaritas is off Cheshire Bridge so might not be a place you'll find in your typical Atlanta tourist destinations. It's hidden amongst a series of Gentlemen's Clubs (many have witty advertising signs, promise) and other restaurants.

The Mexican fare is pretty standard, nothing about their food is any different from any other Mexican restaurant in Atlanta. HOWEVER, their margaritas are first-rate. As well, their establishment is very gay-friendly since it's located near gay bar, Jungle (which I'm pretty sure is called something else now).

While the clientele and waitstaff are extremely gay friendly, everyone feels welcome here (my straight male friend comes here for his birthday every year and fits in comfortably).

Weekly events include: Crazy *** Bingo.

Favorite Dish: Do yourself a favor and order the Twister. It's a mix of Margarita and homemade Sangria and one of the most amazing things you will ever put in your mouth.

Joe's on Juniper is one of Metrotainment Cafes businesses in Atlanta (they also own Cheyenne Grill I believe as well as Einstein's which is also on Juniper). Joe's has, arguably, the best cosmopolitans in Atlanta and at an unbeatable price.

Their menu items are mostly American food (hotdogs, burgers, wraps) and their beer list is pretty standard. Their mixed drinks and patio are where they excel.

Favorite Dish: I love the chicken caesar wrap and the rainbow cake they have at Pride (please bring a friend with you to finish that one though).

$15 hookah with reasonably priced refills. The wait staff is a bit slow at times, but that's more to do with the culture of the restaurant. The staff is incredibly polite and helpful if you ask their advice.

There are three seating options - indoor on pillows, indoor at a table, or outdoor on pillows. Choose wisely.

Favorite Dish: Mediterranean food (amazing falafel and hummus) . . . for more filling food I recommend the Turkish pizza.
