38 Essential Restaurants Around Atlanta, 2025
"James Beard award-winning chef Terry Koval opened his Decatur restaurant in 2019 and it’s become a destination restaurant for Atlantans. Expect skillfully composed dishes of in-season vegetables, beef and pork from local cattle and pig farms, and game meat entrees, like crispy rabbit legs fried in fermented buttermilk, duck sausage roulade, and plates of venison. The restaurant’s bar offers a handful of classic cocktails, beer, and cider, as well as a selection of mainly French and Italian wines. In the mornings, head next door to Koval’s B-Side Cafe for Montreal-style bagels and coffee. Reservations are encouraged and outdoor seating is available." - Eater Staff
