The ATL Hit List: The Best New Restaurants In Atlanta

"J'ouvert is the first to open among a set of new restaurants planned in Lindberg, which developers are quietly rebranding “Uptown Atlanta." Despite our eye-rolls at the project at-large, this place is great for a meet-up with friends. From the same team behind Belle & Lily’s, the all-day Caribbean cafe near Lindbergh Station plays dancehall classics that'll make you sway in your chairs in front of TVs playing music videos and island travel shows. Stake your claim to your share of the saucy jerk wings and sweet-savory coconut-crusted corn skewers. After a few cocktails, which use fresh pressed juices and housemade ginger beer, your friends should be vibing with your brunch pick." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
