After finding success with her critically acclaimed Huff Road restaurant Twisted Soul Cookhouse and Pours, chef Deborah VanTrece just debuted her second restaurant, Oreatha’s at the Point. It’s already become a neighborhood gathering spot in Cascade Heights. With a menu inspired by home-cooked meals from mothers from around the globe, expect tempura miso fried artichokes, fried duck ravioli with aglio e olio and bechamel sauce, nori-crusted salmon niçoise, and Thai-seasoned catfish with tamarind hot sauce served from chef Christian “Lucke” Bell. There’s also a smoked duck pot pie on the menu — a hat tip to VanTrece’s mother, and the restaurant’s namesake. Dessert features chocolate chai tiramisu and pecan pie bakalva from chefs Sade McMullen and Briana Riddock. Reservations encouraged. Outdoor seating available.

People will definitely need a reservation for a seat at the 15-seat sushi bar at this Japanese restaurant on Howell Mill Road, led by chef J. Trent Harris. Even the petite cocktail bar here is reserved exclusively for guests dining at Mujo, which is all about creating an intimate dining experience, culminating in an elaborate omakase feast. Expect several courses of nigiri prepared in the edomae sushi style, broken up by beautifully presented dishes of hakurei turnip tartlets and buta nikomi with braised iberico pork. Nods to Japanese culinary traditions include serving tamagoyaki (Japanese shrimp and egg cake similar to an omelette,) followed by dessert, like a roasted sesame ice cream sundae topped with miso rum caramel and Japanese sweet potato with a dusting of soybean flour, paired with konacha green tea. Reservations required.

Billed as a mozzarella and salumi bar, Bastone comes from the White Bull and Grana chef Pat Pascarella. Taking over the former Bocado space at the corner of Howell Mill and 8th Street, kick off a meal with a selection of hand-stretched mozzarella and charcuterie paired with fresh-baked focaccia. Folks can even order mozzarella flights here. Move on to sharable appetizers, like the sunchoke caponata layered with sultanas, capers, and tomatoes, before diving into hand-made pasta dishes, including the busiate pollo Genovese or shrimp ravioli with ‘nduja, Calabrian chili, shrimp, and shrimp posada. Order cocktails, spritzy drinks during happy hour, or Italian wines by the glass or bottle, too. Front patio available. Covered patio available. Reservations encouraged.

Chef Justin Dixon landed a long-term residency for his Atlanta-centric sandwich pop-up Humble Mumble at Tech Square food hall the Collective at Coda. Dixon named the pop-up after his favorite Outkast song and serves sack lunch sandwiches by day and what he refers to as “Atlanta cuisine” by night (think lamb meatball Spaghetti-Os and wings glazed with chili flakes, lemongrass, and lime). No word on how long Humble Mumble sticks around at the Collective, but regulars to the pop-up can count on sandwiches like the Italian Job stuffed with salami, prosciutto, and soppressata on ciabatta bread and the Senator From Vermont with maple glazed ham, Vermont cheddar, apples, and pickled red onions here. Takeout available.

After a year of pop-ups in Summerhill, the permanent location of fried chicken sandwich shop How Crispy Express is now firmly rooted on Georgia Avenue in the neighborhood. Backed by Ticonderoga Club’s Greg Best and Bart Sasso, chef William Silbernagel (The Bookhouse Pub, Argosy), and Atlanta architect Luke Wilkinson, expect just five sandwiches on the menu, including a vegetarian version made with a crispy chickpea patty, a nod to the quintessential Atlanta flavor lemon pepper wet, and fried chicken spiced with tikka seasoning. In addition to its sandwiches, look for chicken nuggets and sides like collards, mac and cheese, and yucca fries. Do not skip ordering the Buffalo chicken dip or the Coca-Cola cake here. A second, larger location opens in downtown Atlanta along historic Hotel Row later this year. Outdoor seating available. Takeout available.

Atrium comes to Ponce City Market from restaurateur Tal Baum (Bellina Alimentari, Aziza). And it’s likely the most beautiful restaurant at the food hall. Channeling tropical vibes in its design and French cafe fare on the menu, look for a selection of shared snacks on the bistro side, including tuna crudo and chickpea panisse. Lunch and dinner here feature a bistro steak with roasted sunchokes, Bang Island mussels, and pork schnitzel. There’s bananas foster and a yuzu tart for dessert. Over at Atrium’s parlor bar, beverage director Demario Wallace leans into the tropical cafe vibes with a handful of punches and non-alcoholic cocktails, classic drinks like the brandy crusta, and clever takes on the pina colada, martini, and margarita. Reservations encouraged.

Stop Think Chew chef and owner Julia Kesler Imerman opened walk-up window the Daily Chew on Liddell Drive in Piedmont Heights. The window offers coffee, protein bowls, and light breakfast items in the mornings, with rotisserie chicken pita wraps and bowls in the afternoons. Make sure to ask about the daily pita special here, too. Food on the menu leans into Imerman’s Jewish and South African roots. Indoor counter service and cafe seating is also available. The chef’s next big undertaking is an all-day cafe called Brash Kitchen with Brash Coffee owner Chris McLeod opening at the Works. Outdoor seating available. Order online for takeout.

After opening at the end of April, Poncey-Highland seafood market, cafe, and raw bar Fishmonger is already a bonafide hit. Backed by chef Nhan Le and Skip Engelbrecht (8ARM, Octopus Bar) and chef Bradford Forsblom, Fishmonger sells fresh-caught fish, oysters, and shrimp from around the South in its cold cases, with a cafe menu featuring a Gulf shrimp salad roll, shrimp Louie, a tuna melt, and a grouper sandwich during the afternoon. At night, Fishmonger transforms into a raw bar offering oysters on the half shelf, crudo plates, and shrimp cocktail paired with natural wine and beer. Fishmonger is currently BYOB until it receives its liquor license. Outdoor seating available.

Southern Feedstore opened in the former Graveyard Tavern space late last year and is likely one of Atlanta’s tiniest food halls. But the lineup of six stalls here is strong, anchored by Grant Park Brazilian restaurant and coffee bar Buteco. Buteco owner Rafael Pereira is also a partial owner in the food hall. Head here for coffee, cocktails, and live music in the evenings, with food from Buteco, Woody’s CheeseSteaks, Gyro Gyro, and Waffle Bar. Rumor has it pop-up TKO Korean may be eyeing stall space here. Takeout available.

A space once home to pho and bánh mì shop We Suki Suki and mini food stall market the Global Grub Collective has transformed into a restaurant incubator and art space from Quynh “Q” Trinh called Qommunity. Trinh still serves her popular pho and bánh mì here on occasion, but she partnered with Poke Burri and Lifting Noodles Ramen owners Ken Yu and Seven Chan to anchor the new venture, which also features more indoor seating and a coffee, boba tea, and noodle bar serving sake cocktails in the evenings. Look for restaurant residencies at Qommunity throughout the year, too, including current occupants Laotian food pop-up So So Fed and comfort food from MikChan’s (owners of JenChan’s in Cabbagetown), taking over the former We Suki Suki space.

Seafood restaurant and cocktail bar Boho 115 took over the former Square Pub on Decatur Square earlier this year, transforming this multi-level space into an easy breezy spot for ceviches, fresh fish, Argentinian steak, tacos, and empanadas paired with pisco sours and classic daiquiris. Look for chilled seafood and conserva selections here as well as empanadas from local bakery Belen de la Cruz and whole roasted fish dinners, too.
