A tasting menu is a great way to sample a restaurant’s food, offering smaller bites or portions coursed out over the entire meal — with or without wine pairings. While some restaurants specialize in tasting menus, others choose to offer these meals as an option to highlight new or star dishes on the menu. From pricey ten-course feasts with wine pairings to a budget-friendly, three-course tastings at brunch, here are the Atlanta restaurants to indulge in a splurge-worthy, multi-course meal.

Little Bear

Former pop-up chef Jarrett Stieber’s mischievous sense of humor and creativity are on full display at his Summerhill (and Michelin bib gourmand) restaurant Little Bear.

For those wanting to try a little bit of everything on the menu, opt for the “Dealer’s Choice” option, which includes a chef’s choice four-course dinner. It’s $50 per person.
