ASW Distillery
Craft distillery tasting room; additional tasting rooms at Lee + White and The Battery Atlanta.
Antico Pizza Napoletana
The original Hemphill Avenue pizzeria Giovanni Di Palma opened in 2009 and built Little Italia around, with a Bib Gourmand. Worth knowing: its own site claims a Michelin star from 2023, and the guide lists a Bib Gourmand, which is what we publish.
Atlas
One Michelin star inside The St. Regis in Buckhead, with contemporary American cooking under culinary director Freddy Money.
Bacchanalia
Anne Quatrano and Clifford Harrison have run it since 1993, and it holds both a Michelin star and one of Atlanta's two Green Stars. The four-course prix fixe leans on organic produce, much of it from the owners' own farm, Summerland.

Hayakawa
Chef Atsushi Hayakawa closed his Buford Highway sushi room after about 15 years and reopened on the Westside in the Star Metals development, where the star followed him. Two seatings a night, Wednesday through Saturday.
Lazy Betty
A starred tasting menu that moved out of Candler Park into the old Empire State South space in Midtown in March 2024. Its own homepage still flies the 2023 James Beard semifinalist badge.
Mujo
A 15-seat cypress counter doing Edomae sushi under executive chef J. Trent Harris, with one Michelin star. The team has a second, grill-driven room opening in Buckhead.
O by Brush
A starred omakase counter hidden inside Brush Sushi, where chef Jason Liang runs Edomae technique through the Taiwanese flavors he grew up with. The omakase is 285 dollars a guest.
Omakase Table
Chef Leonard Yu moved his starred counter from West Marietta Street to Buckhead Landing in March 2025, leaving the old room to Neko, his lower-priced concept. Reservation only, Wednesday through Sunday, and published street numbers for the new address disagree, so go by your reservation confirmation.
