Foodie's Guide to Dunwoody Dining
There are over 115 restaurants in Dunwoody which means there are countless options for delicious dining.
We get it, decisions are hard when it comes to picking your place to eat. Make things easier on yourself (and your tummy) by using the below guide to choose your food, whatever your mood!
Burgers and Sandwiches
Burgers and sandwiches are the cornerstone of American cuisine. Get the freshest burgers around at Farm Burger. All their food is grass-fed, so you'll walk away feeling well-fed.
See what all the rave is about and have yourself a NFA Burger. It's the burger joint located inside a Chevron gas station that's gone viral. It's taken both Dunwoody and Metro Atlanta by storm, and it's guaranteed to take you by storm as well. 😋🍔 Just don't ask for ketchup. It'll cost you $1M. Their rules.
And of course you can never go wrong with Dunwoody's beloved Village Burger. Have one with seasoned fries (dipped in VB sauce of course), and their irresistible custard because there's never a wrong time to indulge.
Pizza and Pasta
Craving Italian? You won't be for much longer! For a local and charming mom-and-pop marketplace, we recommend E. 48th Street Market. This family owned and operated store also doubles as a restaurant serving Italian sandwiches, desserts, homemade pastas, and casseroles. Romantics frequent Carbonara Trattoria for its ambiance reminiscent of Italy and its carefully selected menu to match. For a family-style and slightly more filling experience, try Novo Cucina who is known for their pizzas, salads, pastas, and homemade gelato.
Get stuffed over at Nancy's Pizzeria with their out of this world deep dish Chicago pizza or go gourmet (and groovy) with Mellow Mushroom.
If you have a taste for Asian cuisine, pay Nai Thai Cuisine and Eastern China Taste a visit. All three are big hits around town and sure to please. Trying to accommodate multiple palates in one household? Try Takorea for some Asian-Korean fusion, or give Breakers Korean BBQ a go. And for all of you Sushi and/or Hibachi lovers out there, Taki Japanese Steakhouse and Poké Bar will serve you something spectacular.
Curious palates seeking the very best from all over should eat at Portico Global Cuisine. Located inside our Le Meridien Atlanta Perimeter hotel, this swanky and eclectic restaurant offers a contemporary twist on worldwide favorite dishes.
Cafes and Coffeehouses
Explore European fare at Cafe Intermezzo. They have the best coffee, breakfast, lunch, and you guessed it - dinner too. Cozy up for lunch or dinner at Crema Espresso Gourmet. This cafe serves more than just coffee, and restaurant month is the perfect time to explore their other just as satisfying menu options.
Wine and Dine
Eat, drink, and be merry at Vino Venue. This restaurant and wine bar is both widely known around Atlanta and a local favorite. With a menu that is just as impressive as their wine selection, Vino Venue is always tough to pass up.
Steakhouses
In Dunwoody, there is no shortage of steak with several of Atlanta's finest serving up cuts. It's not every day that you can enjoy a premium steak with all the side fixins for less, so you definitely don't want to pass up a visit to McKendrick's Steak House, The Capital Grille, Joey D's Oak Room, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse, Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse or Fogo de Chao. Our best advice is to pace yourself. With so much to enjoy at such a small cost, you're going to want to savor every juicy bite.
Something for Everybody
Eating with a group of people who all have a taste for something different? Go somewhere all-encompassing, with all the shareable items. Enjoy the flavors of summer with a seasonally-inspired menu from Seasons 52, or keep things evergreen at HOBNOB Neighborhood Tavern, J. Alexander's, and Joey D's Oak Room.
Just Desserts
Take your sweet tooth over to any of the following sweet shoppes for the best treats in the perimeter. Who can turn down cookies? Especially those from Ali's Cookies. Not us. We're willing to bet not you either. Shake things up with some creamy coolness from Shake Shack or Four Fat Cows. The Cheesecake Factory never misses and neither does the carousel of cakes from Cafe Intermezzo. But when it comes to pastries, Paris Baguette and Zukerino Pastry Shop are king and queen. Their fresh baked goodies are the cherry on top of any and every meal.
