Atlanta Restaurants to Try in 2024

Similar to my Atlanta restaurant list last year, I want to try 24 new restaurants in Atlanta in 2024. Many of these Atlanta restaurants I didn’t get to in 2023, so they have made the list for a second time! There have been a lot of new Atlanta restaurant openings so there are some new additions! I will update this Atlanta restaurant list as I hear about new spots that are opening up or spots I haven’t heard about. Also, if you are subscribed to my email list, you will get a personalized Google Maps and Yelp List of all of these Atlanta restaurants right to your inbox! Click here to subscribe.
