Downtown Atlanta Restaurant Week, 08-15 thru 08-21

Downtown Delights

(as printed in The Southern Voice, www.southernvoice.com)

Central Atlanta Progress presents Downtown Atlanta Restaurant Week Aug. 15-21. Founded in 2002, the event is designed to highlight several of downtown’s premium restaurants.

Restaurant week is a great opportunity for dilettante diners to experience multiple-course meals at prices that are more affordable than many of the high-end participants usually offer. Some of Atlanta’s finest bistros and cafes offer three-course prix fixe meals for $20.05 per person. A few more casual restaurants offer two meals at that price.

Restaurants include Luxe and Pacific Rim Bistro, two of downtown’s hippest hangouts, as well as such Atlanta staples as City Grill and Pittypat’s Porch. Also on the list is casual spot Mick’s, seafood restaurant McCormick & Schmick’s and the Marquis Steakhouse.

To attract out-of-towners to the event, downtown hotels offer a $60.05 reservation rate on Aug. 19-20, and several downtown attractions, including the Braves Museum, Centennial Park and Oakland Cemetery, welcome Restaurant Week patrons.
