Experience TravelSkoot's picks for the Best Dining in Atlanta. This eclectic mix of dining spots will delight your palate from morning until night and even into the wee hours of the next morning.
This is what fast food ought to be -- quick and good, not to mention affordable. Taqueria del Sol features a futuristic filling-station look. There’s no table service; you put together your own plate, ordering as much or as little as you'd like. Authentic Mexican flavors abound, whether in sporty sounding boutique tacos or hard-core authentic street fare. Opt for popular hickory-smoked pork tacos with barbecue sauce and coleslaw, or addictive fried chicken tacos with lime-jalapeno mayonnaise. There are 25 or so different beers to wash it all down, plus a full bar. Snag a table on the covered patio.

Nan creates a tranquil atmosphere in which to focus on their glorious food. Cream banquettes, silk pillows in gold and mocha and neutral carpet absorb wayward sound. Red columns anchor the soaring space, jazz plays and lighting flatters. The spectacular Thai dishes are deeply nuanced, each bite revealing layered flavors. Braised beef short ribs with Massaman curry sauce are luscious and fork tender, while whole sizzling fish with dry green curry is a sight to behold and taste. The exhibition kitchen gives the sophisticated crowd a glimpse of the culinary artistry.

Specializing in wood-fired meat selections such as suckling pig, fish, and barbecue, the restaurant cooks dishes "in the round" on a 14-foot rotisserie in a wide-open kitchen, smack-dab in the middle of the bustling eatery. Just as exciting as the menu here is the innovative domestic wine program, consisting of 42 stainless-steel barrels of wine displayed in a 26-foot glass-and-steel temperature-controlled tower just inside the front door. Another show-stopper is the stunning view of the Midtown skyline. Enjoy live blues Wednesday through Saturday.

Ice cream just doesn't get any better than this, and devoted Atlanta fans will stand in long lines if that's what it takes just to taste it!

Among the most popular flavors are Chocolate Slap Yo' Mama, Honey Fig, Whitehouse Cherry, Tiramisu-su-sudio, and the signature Brown Shugah Vanilla. Jake's is also good for lunch, with healthy choice such as the fried-green-tomato BLT.

Delight on a vodka martini, and nibble on the Trio of Piroshkis at the top of the Hilton mainstay with a hint of Russian influence. But the thing you’ll really savor at Nikolai’s is the view. Thirty floors above the world, ambiance takes on a whole new meaning, as you preside over the stunning skyline of the city of Atlanta. The Boar Tenderloin (yes, Boar!) will be a great conversation piece when you tell others about your rooftop excursion. Chef Olivier De Busschere throws an outstanding five course wine tasting event once a month, but if you don’t happen to be there that day, be sure not to miss “Wine Tuesday,” where everything on their extensive list is served at half-price.
