The Best Restaurants In Midtown - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Some days call for a glass of wine before the sun sets. El Viñedo, a South American wine bar and café in Midtown, is built for those days. A long communal table runs through the center, great when you need to assemble the whole crew to catch up. It’s a wise stop for wine and a crispy empanada before heading to the Fox. And the patio stays lively from lunch through dinner. The sanguche de pollo, a juicy chicken sandwich stacked with chimichurri, Duke's mayo, and a soft tortuga bun, is a standout midday move. It’s sloppy, oversized, and perfectly matched with a light-bodied white like the Argentinian Garzón Albariño. Consider ordering by the bottle here because this is the kind of place where you end up staying longer than you planned." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
