Best Restaurants in West Midtown

Howell Mill Road anchors Atlanta's strongest patch for ambitious dining, with a concentration of high-calibre American and Asian restaurants that set a standard most other corridors in the city don't match. Prices here reflect the neighbourhood's upward trajectory, so it rewards planning ahead rather than a casual drop-in. Latin American and Mediterranean options round out a lineup broad enough to justify more than one visit.
