Best Restaurants in Decatur

35 restaurants analyzed · Atlanta

Decatur's dining scene is anchored by a walkable cluster of independently owned restaurants around the town square that leans heavily on honest American cooking and strong Mediterranean options, and it covers that ground better than most Atlanta neighbourhoods twice its size. It's one of the more reliably solid spots in the city for a proper sit-down meal without the bill that usually comes with it, keeping things mostly in the moderate range while still offering a handful of places worth dressing up for. The unusual breadth of Asian, Indian, and European kitchens alongside the core offer means you rarely have to compromise on what you're in the mood for.
