However, some Atlanta restaurants do have an amazing atmosphere and amazing food – the full package. Yet, they are still slept on and overlooked.
So we’ve decided to shed some light on a few Atlanta restaurants that fit the description! Check these out:
1. bartaco
This is one of the Atlanta restaurants that is a tad bit more known than the others to be mentioned on the list, but it’s so good it’s worth the inclusion. Based off the name alone, you should know what type of cuisines to expect: tacos and tequila. Inspired by Southern California beach culture, bartaco offers coastal vibes with the help of upscale street foods in a cool, laid-back atmosphere. You also have your choice of indoor or outdoor dining if you need a breath of fresh air!
Bartaco has three Atlanta restaurants across the city. One located located at 299 N. Highland Ave NE, another in the Inman Park area, another at 3802 Roswell Road around the Chastain Park neighborhood and lastly, a West Midtown restaurant located at 969 Marietta St NW.

This is one of the Atlanta restaurants for the tech lovers. With a more modern and digital vibe, Bytes offers an eclectic menu by way of a somewhat personal and intimate ambiance.
