Bacchanalia – Atlanta, GA
Critically acclaimed as the finest restaurant in Atlanta, the chef owners Clifford Harrison and Anne Quatrano prepare dishes utilizing some of the most amazing, and often local, sources for everything from oysters to apples: Much of it comes from Summerland Farm, Quatrono’s family farm for five generations. The restaurant is in a former meatpacking plant, and the industrial edge to the space is both emphasized and warmly tempered with fabric and color. Dinner is a choice of two, four-course tasting menus, each priced at $68, and they change daily. If available,try the foie gras tourchon with vanilla-poached rhubarb. A suggested wine pairing is listed with each dish.
