Wine bar with charcuterie, small plates, and rare bottles
"A casual wine bar with serious finds, this Poncey-Highland hangout arrived to big anticipation and delivered, complete with sommelier Jade Palmer’s secret, hand-written reserve list tucked in a diary that’ll make you melt. James Beard Award winner Steven Satterfield and restaurateur Neal McCarthy teamed with sommelier Tim Willard to spotlight a short, ever-updating reserve list poured by the half-glass — think 2016 Paolo Bea Arboreus Bianco, 2001 Henriques and Henriques Sercial single harvest, and 2010 Daniel Etienne Defaix Chablis 1er Cru. Don’t sleep on the simple cocktails, especially the white rum and tonic, which carries surprising weight while staying refreshing. Food puts wine first with small plates (and a few larger portions from chef de cuisine Ollie Honderd): crispy panisse for $8 that channels Sicilian bar snacks and a savory anchovy tartine for $13, plus a new weekend lunch with a burger, omelet, and steak frites. It’s the spot to grab a small bite and a drink after work, hang with neighbors, and spot unicorns on the menu — and it recently picked up its first Michelin recommendation." - Henna Bakshi
"Everyone loves a low-pressure coffee date, but Madeira Park in Poncey-Highland makes a strong case for the easy-going wine date. It opens at 3pm on weekdays and noon on weekends, giving you plenty of daylight hours on the breezy "come as you are" patio. Sip what might be the best Nebbiolo you’ve had. And talk about how much is too much to spend on a house plant while eating briny anchovy tartines, slow-roasted chicken, and other dishes that helped put this wine bar on our list of the Best 25 Atlanta restaurants." - juli horsford, jacinta howard
"Summer mode means wearing flip-flops and sipping a crisp Italian white on a patio made for people-watching. This summer, Madeira Park's patio is the one. The small plates at this Poncey-Highland wine bar are simple but memorably good, and with a soundtrack mixing Sault with Fela, the scene is easily set for a late-night hang." - juli horsford, jacinta howard, nina reeder
"The long-awaited Madeira Park has opened in Poncey-Highland. James Beard Award-winning chef Steven Satterfield of Miller Union teamed up with his business partner Neal McCarthy and sommelier Tim Willard of Dive Wine pop-up to open the wine bar and restaurant. And it’s a major vibe already. The wine list includes rare Old World treasures by the glass (and half glass) and bottle, and the food menu is the perfect snacking accompaniment — get the eight-minute egg with a creamy yolk, anchovy, and potato chip with a glass of Chablis. The bar is popular, so come early to snag a seat. Ask sommelier Jade Palmer for her hidden, handwritten (in pristine handwriting, mind you) wine list with deep-cut, limited-allocation bottles. Also, try the cocktails — particularly the white rum and tonic, which made Eater Atlanta’s Best Dishes We Ate roundup." - Henna Bakshi
"Madeira Park comes from the team behind Miller Union, one of Atlanta’s best restaurants. This new spot in Poncey-Highland features seasonal Southern dishes and leads the charge for Atlanta’s growing wine bar scene." - juli horsford, jacinta howard
