Atlanta’s Essential Brunch Spots

So that when it comes time for weekend brunch, you’re in good hands.

List of Brunch Spots

1. Little Sparrow
   4.7 (55 reviews)
   French Bistro
   $$
   Description: Beyond the obvious romance of a gorgeous bar and dimly lit dining room with Parisian grace, this Ford Fry concept rife with culinary magic. Delight in brasserie classics like onion soup gratinée or duck confit, and don't skip the selection of well-made cocktails.

2. El Viñedo Local
   4.6 (848 reviews)
   Modern Latin
   $$
   Description: You know a place whose name means “the local vineyard’ is going to offer plenty of great wines (in this case, mostly South American), and there’s vivid Latin fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But wait, there’s more: rare rums and other spirits (quinoa vodka!), stylish cocktails, and South American fair-trade coffees from small estates.

3. AltaToro
   4.4 (1.8K reviews)
   Modern Latin
   $$
   Description: You’ll definitely want a table at this exuberantly colorful, high-energy Latin American hot spot from the owner of the 5Church restaurants. The fare ranges from tapas to ropa vieja to an occasional whole roast suckling pig, the bar program is agave-heavy, and the music is live — salsa included.

4. Bon Ton
   4.4 (589 reviews)
   Cajun
   $$
   Description: Because this is one for a festive night out: a super-casual venue with a vibrant Cajun and Vietnamese menu, and a cocktail list built for fun. Pro tip: Check out the “po’boy possibilities” — including one irresistible po’boy/banh mi mashup.

5. Ashland at Loews Atlanta Hotel
   4.3 (165 reviews)
   Steakhouse
   $$
   Description: Steak and sushi? Don’t mind if we do. Both disciplines are united at Loews’ signature restaurant, where sourcing and quality form the cornerstones of an elegant menu that showcases premium beef and pristine, seasonal seafood.

6. Divan Restaurant & Bar
   4.6 (1.9K reviews)
   Persian
   $$
   Description: Rough stone walls, floor-to-ceiling beaded curtains, dark wood, and intimate lighting set the scene for Persian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean fare at this longtime Buckhead favorite.

7. Boqueria Colony Square
   4.2 (1.3K reviews)
   Spanish
   $$
   Description: Born in Manhattan but inspired by the iconic Barcelona market whose name it bears, Boqueria brings a fiesta’s worth of traditional tapas to Colony Square. Pro tip: Be sure to order some hand-carved jamón ibérico, and you’ll see why it’s considered the world’s best ham.

8. 5Church Midtown
   4.3 (1.9K reviews)
   New American
   $$
   Description: A salads-to-flatbreads-to-steaks menu in a high-design atmosphere. Say hello to 5Church Midtown — and be sure to make time before or after dinner for the Virtue Rooftop lounge upstairs.

9. Brasserie Lundi
   4.4 (250 reviews)
   European
