Peasant Bistro - Revisited

To contact us Click HERE
There are several restaurants in downtown Atlanta that are popular with tourists because they serve Southern cuisine--though I highly recommend feasting on regional cuisine, at least two of the options should be shut down immediately. Southern cuisine can be divine, don't settle for yuck. If you are hosting an out-of-town or out-of-state visitor, or are one yourself, know that there are many great options for Southern fare including Peasant Bistro.

Peasant Bistro serves tasty food in an upscale contemporary Southern setting, plus it's convenient to top tourist attractions including the Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, and my personal favorite City Segway Tours Atlanta. So spend the day exploring the city, then before dinner shower up at your hotel--as long as you're taking my advice, book your stay at The Glenn Hotel--and then head to the restaurant. You won't need a car, getting there is a pleasant stroll through Centennial Olympic Park.

For starters, consider the crab cakes which are packed with meat:

And while there are as many versions of shrimp & grits throughout the South as there are chefs, this version is a scrumptious balance of spicy and sweet:

Bottom Line: Upscale Southern dining conveniently located to Atlanta's main tourist attractions.
