Home Grown is a breakfast favorite among Atlanta’s eaters and restaurant industry members. And it’s home to one of the city’s must-try dishes — the comfy biscuit topped with fried chicken and smothered in sausage gravy. There’s almost always a wait at this casual Reynoldstown neighborhood diner on the weekends, but it’s definitely worth it. southern style breakfast & lunch

Italian-American restaurant BoccaLupo quickly became both a neighborhood favorite and a destination restaurant when it opened in 2013 on Edgewood Avenue in Inman Park. Head in for the fresh, handmade pasta (the black spaghetti and the 20-yolk tagliatelle are now Atlanta classics), stay for the wine and cocktails. Chef Bruce Logue also offers a pasta tasting menu for those who don’t want to choose just one dish.

With renowned Atlanta bartenders Greg Best and Paul Calvert running the beverage program, it’s no surprise T-Club’s cocktails are a hit. But the food, from chef David Bies, shines all on its own. Club classics to try include the Ipswich clam roll, the sweetbreads, and whatever vegan option Bies has listed on the menu such as the vegan noodle bowl or Poh’s eggplant with jasmine rice. Feeding a crowd? Order the chuckwagon — a 48-ounce, medium-cooked, black angus chuck roast served with fresh horseradish, wort, and parsley-red onion salad. The dinner bell will ring when its headed to the table.

This Inman Park restaurant is known for its bold and ever-changing menu, thanks to chef Robert Phalen’s inventiveness in the kitchen. Try dishes such as Carolina gold rice with lump crab, asparagus, andbenne seed or steelhead trout with Carolina gold rice grits, last year’s ramps, and endives. Oyster happy hours are great here on weeknights, as is the fried chicken on Mondays. Make sure to try the meatstick (one of Atlanta’s must-try burgers) and the chef’s breakfast during weekend brunch. Pair both with a Schlitz tall boy.

In operation for a decade in North Druid Hills, Desta is Atlanta's best bet for Ethiopian fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Desta now has a second location nearby at Emory Point on Clifton Road, across from the CDC.

James Beard award-winning chef Steven Satterfield's farm-fresh, updated Southern cooking is simple and elegant. The farm egg baked in celery cream with grilled bread is considered a top-10 Atlanta dish. The restaurant has one of the best vegetable plates in town, offers a killer wine list, and the lunchtime-only ice cream sandwiches are the perfect post-meal treat.

There may be no finer view of the city skyline than from atop the newly-opened Hotel Clermont on Ponce. The astro-turfed lawn bedecked with loungers and an outdoor bar serving frozen drinks and street food beneath the iconic neon sign is hard to beat. Guests of the hotel and neighborhood residents have preferred access to the rooftop. Diners at Tiny Lou’s or those simply wishing to head up for drinks on a warm evening must check in with the front desk. Open Sunday - Thursday, 4 p.m. to 12 a.m.; Friday and Saturday, 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. Poncey Highlands
