Top restaurants featured during delicious Buckhead Restaurant Week

ATLANTA - Today marks the start of the most delicious week of the year in Buckhead, so here's an important question: Where are you beginning your culinary journey through the city?

There are dozens of options during Buckhead Restaurant Week presented by Livable Buckhead, which begins today and runs through August 1st.

 "It's the week during summer when you need to come eat in Buckhead," says Livable Buckhead executive director Denise Starling. "We have got…restaurants that are participating with fixed-price menus; they've got amazing things that they're featuring."

The full list of participating restaurants may be found here, and it features some of the brightest jewels in the Buckhead restaurant scene crown (including Aria, Madre Selva, and The Iberian Pig).

Starling says the goal of the week is to inspire diners to explore the rich and diverse culinary lineup available in Buckhead — and thanks to those fixed-price menus, to do it on a budget.
