Best Restaurants in Alpharetta, Georgia | Eater Atlanta

"Chef Mel Toledo reopened his restaurant in Alpharetta in 2022, and it’s been a local staple since then. Head in for the octopus, which made Eater Atlanta’s Best Dishes We Ate roundup in April. It is cooked in sous vide first, making the octopus super tender, and then flash-fried with a thin batter. It’s served with fingerling potatoes and chorizo, nestled on top of a butter and lemon sauce, making it a classic dish. Pair it with the Graham Beck sparkling rosé from South Africa. Be sure to try the peanut butter candy bar dessert by pastry chef Gus Castro, formerly at Lazy Betty. The banana cake with banana sorbet and caramel is very much still a nod to Lazy Betty in its plating and structure. Worth noting, the dining room floor has a light tremble to it, given it’s on the second floor of a parking deck. —Henna Bakshi" - Alex Leo-Guerra
