Southern Belle
Southern comfort food that does the heavy lifting for you.

Nàdair
Scottish-inspired, Poncey-Highland tucked — effort that doesn't feel try-hard.
Nàdair sits in a converted industrial suite off Zonolite that most people haven't found yet, which works in your favor. The menu leans seasonal and considered — think lamb, foraged things, natural wine — without the pretension that usually comes with it.

Colombian comfort food on one of Atlanta's best date streets
La Moon sits right on N Highland in the heart of Poncey-Highland, where the street itself does half the date work — walkable, lively, with a backup plan around every corner.
