Inman Park Restaurant Guide
Inman Park has many of the best restaurants and bars in Atlanta with more than 70 in walking distance!
Here is our personal guide to some of our favorites restaurants in Inman Park and the Beltline.
BoccaLupo – This Italian American option is located on Edgewood Avenue and offers handmade pasta, seasonal menu items and flavorful bites that pair perfectly with a glass of wine or curated cocktail served at the bar or tableside. Although their menu changes seasonally, some of our favorites include the Marsala Glazed Octopus for starters, the Black Spaghetti or Southern Fried Chicken Parm for the main entree and the Snickerdoodle and Double Chocolate cookies for a sweet after-dinner treat.
MF Sushi – Easily one of Atlanta’s best sushi restaurants, and our personal favorite, MF Sushi is located in the heart of Inman Park. MF actually stands for “Magic Fingers”, after the chef’s hard-earned nickname. In addition to top notch sushi, MF also serves up the atmosphere with exotic lighting, moody decor and carefully curated tunes for the ultimate dining experience. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. If you aren’t feeling the raw options, they have a great Robata Grill menu. When in doubt, we recommend their Omakase Chef’s Choice. The phrase, meaning “I’ll leave it up to you” in Japanese, is a culinary experience that offers the chef’s best options and the restaurant’s freshest ingredients.
Char – This Korean Bar and Grill is a trendy, elegant dining experience in the heart of Inman Park. Their menu is far from boring, and the flavors and spices are aromatic from the moment you enter the space. Their Anju, or appetizers, are your first taste of the cuisine, and the Korean Meatballs, Korean Street Corn or the Korean Street Tacos are some of the best we’ve had. From there, find yourself diving into the Junmun portion, which includes Rice Bowls, a Hot Pot, Sweet Potato Noodles, Kimchi Mac and Cheese and a Char-Grilled BBQ Chicken Salmon – yum! There’s also grill options, including beef, premium beef, pork, vegetarian options, shrimp and grill combos. Dessert is also tasty – you must try the Tres Leche Bread Pudding! Read More
