(IN ATLANTA) This is our special occasion place. The food is good, every time! While everything is great on the menu, I never skip the whole red snapper with 3 flavored chili sauce, and the mango sticky rice- EVER. There are two locations, one in Buckhead and one in Midtown. I cannot speak to the decor in the Buckhead location, but the Midtown location is gorgeous and uniquely situated in a renovated house with a modern Thai twist.

The oldest public market in Atlanta is also, arguably, the tastiest. Located in the Martin Luther King Historic District, the market is jam-packed with vendors selling fresh produce and seafood. In the last few years, the market underwent a transformative renovation restoring it to its former glory. The jazzed up building also coincided with the introduction of a number of exceptional new in-market restaurants as well. Comfort food is a common theme among the stalls. Large groups will enjoy a lunch trip here as there is really something for everyone! (Great vegan and gluten free options)
