Here’s something to look forward to: food along the Beltline. Whether you stroll or bike, the following restaurants offer remarkably delicious menus.
Serpas: If you intend to stroll the Beltline on Sunday, make a brunch reservation here. Signature dishes include house-smoked salmon chips, fried oyster eggs Benedict and Big Papa's Single Beef Patti served with smoked cheddar, caramelized onions, red wine dressing, bacon and house fries. But, if you're looking to go rogue and mix menus to eat just what you want (substitutions are not permissible), order the mixed blueberry pancakes, served with a side of bacon plus the chicken fingers and fries from the kids menu. The aforementioned combo makes pancakes and fried chicken and bacon fries. Hashtag, yum.
TWO urban licks: Right alongside the Beltline is this modern, industrial-chic designed restaurant, serving wood-fired cuisine, elevated American comfort fare and mac 'n cheese so legendary that people as far away as New York have remarked on its exceptional flavor. While diving into perfectly portioned plates of shrimp scampi, brisket or their famed, limited edition Big Ass Burger made with ground short ribs, expect to be entertained by funky bluesy live bands and breathtaking city views. A detour here is worth every minute.
Parish: The cool factor about this restaurant is that you can dine on the upper level, a big, casual restaurant with brunch faves like shrimp and grits, fried chicken Benedict and the croque madame, served with Parisian ham, bechamel, dijon, Swiss cheese and a sunny side up egg. The downstairs, on the other hand, is a petite market café offering an assortment of breakfast items, sandwiches, pastries and brewed drinks, but best of all, the oversize couches and chairs make it ideal for kicking back, catching up or working offsite. And, when it's time to go—on foot or bike—the Beltline is practically around the corner.
