The 11 Hottest New Restaurants Around Atlanta, May 2024
"Adjacent to Firepit Pizza Tavern at Larkin on Memorial, “Cutthroat Kitchen” winner Leslie Cohen, and Shaun Whitmer’s Birdcage serves up Latin cuisine at a more-than-decent price point. Devised by Whitmer, the food side is no-nonsense, with an array of items like Michelada shrimp cocktail, sofrito squash, and sweet potato bravas, as well as more substantial fare like the half pollo a la brasa-style chicken and fall-off-the-bone ribs. Birdcage’s atmosphere takes inspiration from South Beach and the 1996 film of the same name, blasting 1980s pop anthems against a technicolor backdrop. Don’t sleep on the red chicken tacos, which are loaded with chicken tinga and come with consumme, birria-style." - Eater Staff, Henna Bakshi
