Now on Resy: Southern National, Roshambo, Talat Market, and More Local Favorites

Former One Flew South chef Duane Nutter and restaurateur Reggie Washington charmed Mobile, AL with the original Southern National before transplanting it back home to the sizzling Georgia Avenue restaurant scene in Summerhill. Expect regional ingredients, South-centric cooking, and accents from around the world.

The team behind Unsukay and Muss & Turner’s reimagines the classic diners of the Northeast at this Atlanta-themed all-day spot, decorated with city skyline cutouts and street maps, and serving a curated menu of comfort food standards — like the “Bucket o’Chicken,” including mac & cheese, collard greens, and biscuits.

Chefs Parnass Savang and Rod Lassiter drew crowds to their Talat Market pop-up at Gato in Candler Park and they’re doing the same at their brick-and-mortar follow-up in Summerhill, serving bright, vividly flavored Thai specialties using Georgia ingredients. One perfect example: their potato and pig ear salad.

Café Agora on Peachtree Place delighted diners for a decade with its vividly flavorful Turkish, Greek, and other Mediterranean specialties — and now it’s back as Agora Midtown, bigger and brighter, with an even more seductive menu, full of shareable appetizers (don’t miss the meze platter), kebabs, and more.

Fans of Southern food, this one’s for you. In a homey repurposed 19th-century building by the MARTA tracks in Chamblee, husband-and-wife owners Mike Plummer and Amanda Averill rock the best of the region’s cuisine, from pimento cheese to hot chicken, but have fun, too: Their signature “Southern ramen” includes pulled pork and black-eyed peas.

You know a place whose name means “the local vineyard’ is going to offer plenty of great wines (in this case, mostly South American), and there’s vivid Latin fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But wait, there’s more: rare rums and other spirits (quinoa vodka!), stylish cocktails, and South American fair-trade coffees from small estates.

Dress sharp for this elegant cocktail lounge, whiskey-lover’s paradise, and high-tone bar-food restaurant (think shrimp Reuben sliders), perched on the 12th floor of the Hotel Colee in Buckhead, complete with a wraparound terrace boasting knockout city views.

Here’s a combination that’s so off-the-wall but so deliciously right you’ll wonder why nobody’s thought of it before: Internationally flavored tapas matched to a treasure trove of frozen (i.e., “slushed”) cocktails. There’s a hookah menu, too, in this elegant environment couched in marble, leather, and abundant greenery.

It’s all about an evening of fun at this Old Fourth Ward nightspot opened by Greg and Noelle Johnson (ex-Cake, A Social Bar), thanks to the elegant cocktails, the high-end bottle service, the menu full of things you’ll want to eat (the Thai chile-glazed Brussels sprouts get high marks), and a hookah selection that will leave you in a cloud of contentment.

The furry lights are almost as Instagrammable as the food, and that whole roasted cauliflower with a towering hat of frizzy leeks is one to behold. Chef Santiago Gomez has his way around modern Mexican fare, and that vision is embedded in every corner of the sleek space. Pro tip: Do check out (and book) the rooftop, which has a fantastic view.

Expect a deep dive into the endlessly varied and enticing world of traditional Persian cuisine as prepared by chef-owner Arezoo Armaghan at this stylish Johns Creek standout, where nuts and herbs and homemade yogurt enhance an array of excellent vegetable, fish, meat, and poultry dishes.

Because this is one for a festive night out: a super-casual venue with a vibrant Cajun and Vietnamese menu, and a cocktail list built for fun (frozen Vietnamese Irish coffee, anyone?). Pro tip: Check out the “po’boy possibilities” — including one irresistible po’boy/banh mi mashup.

At this extravagant three-level establishment with its rustic-contemporary décor (neon lighting, wood-slat floors, bronze accents, sculptural walls), the emphasis is on luxury — complete with both American and Japanese Wagyu beef and a prime rib cap encrusted with 24-karat gold.

A salads-to-flatbreads-to-steaks menu in a high-design atmosphere (black leather banquettes, dazzling chandeliers, ceilings hand-painted with text from Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War”)? Say hello to 5Church Midtown — and be sure to make time before or after dinner for the Virtue Rooftop lounge upstairs, with its low-key city views and high-concept cocktails.

Put on your party clothes for this high-style art-and-greenery-filled Buckhead extension of the Midtown original, where executive chef Rodney Smith Jr.’s classic American-modern menu (with a few Italian accents) is full of just what you want to eat.

It’s always party time at this upscale 11,000-square-foot lounge in Buckhead, where the cocktails are seductive and the menu hits keywords like tacos, sliders, tartare, and pizza. Pro tip: The club’s signature Blue Martini, served in an oversized snifter, is pretty much essential.

When you think dining without borders, this Cabbagetown favorite has you covered. Spam musubi and buttermilk biscuit sandwiches for brunch, Vietnamese pork pizza for dinner, and General Tso’s chicken just because. The place is always convivial and fun, whether you’re a table for two or a group of 10.

Tapas vivid with the flavors of Latin America and Spain (including vegan options), a one-of a-kind brunch menu (jamón serrano eggs Benedict, anyone?), an art-filled dining room with vibrant murals and custom-made tilework, a bewitching cocktail list … Let’s just say this is your kind of place.

You’ll want everything on the menu at this vibrant Poncey-Highland favorite, from guac to tlayudas and beyond — and if the weather cooperates, you’ll probably want it outside under a café umbrella on the bright and breezy patio.

Reasons why you’ll want to dine at this first-rate steakhouse: Oysters, unusual appetizers (duck confit spring rolls, anyone?), more than a dozen wet- and dry-aged steaks, wild-caught seafood, and almost 30 sides (including enhancements, sauces, and flavored butters) — and did we mention the signature white chocolate macadamia key lime tart?

An essential on lively Canton Street in Roswell, this sushi-and-small-plates spot — where spicy tuna rolls and pulled pork spring rolls happily share table space — offers a laid-back woodsy dining room, an elbow-to-elbow L-shaped bar, and a long umbrella-shaded sidewalk terrace where you’ll want to linger for hours.

Suddenly it’s the 1970s at this racy, cozy cocktail lounge opened by Darren Carr and Eric Simpkins upstairs from their Bon Ton seafood restaurant. Expect large-format drinks served in decanters and shareable extravagances like seafood towers in a hot red room, with DayGlo lighting and red shag carpets.
