Puma Yu's

The Best Restaurants in Athens, Georgia | Eater Atlanta

"Located in the remodeled Southern Mill complex, Puma Yu’s is the culmination of Pete Amadhanirundr (James Beard Award semifinalist for Best Chef: Southeast) and Ally Smith’s pop-ups, which started in 2017. The atmosphere is friendly, from the mismatched thrift store plate and glassware to the blue raspberry-painted floors. The beverage program, led by Smith, shines in a city with more bars per capita than any other in the country. Try the Clouds and Mist with Mexican rum, chartreuse, and green tea. Meanwhile, the food leans Thai and focuses on noodles and shareable snacks." - Sarra Sedghi
