The Best Creole & Cajun Restaurants In Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Fontaine’s has been a seafood fixture for VaHi locals for more than two decades, so the bright red neon sign with an arrow pointing you toward the door is, for lack of better terms, pointless. And while they’re mainly known as an oyster house and seafood spot, a little NOLA je ne sais quoi spices up the menu with dishes like jambalaya and a seafood gumbo, which is our go-to order. If hot broths aren’t your bag, po’boys with six protein options (like shrimp and crawfish) are a win for sandwich lovers everywhere. The mood of this divey place doesn’t emulate the Big Easy with a soundtrack of early 2000s pop and R&B hits. But on a sunny day, snagging a seat on the shaded patio with a bowl of shrimp étouffée is still bound to pass a good time." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams
