This Atlanta Restaurant Is One Of The New York Times’ 50 Best Restaurants In The U.S. — Famous For Their ‘Southern Alpine’ Fare, Like Lemon Pepper Frog’s Legs

Save

According to The New York Times’s new 2025 ‘Restaurant List’, one of the very best restaurants in the entire country is right here in Atlanta! And with their unique and delicious mix of Alpine and Southern food, we’ve gotta agree: Avize is one of the most delectable spots in the whole U.S.!

What is Avize?

Opened in October of 2024, Avize is a scrumptious mix of Bavarian and southern cuisine. Here, you can expect delicious dishes like:

• Fermented carrot bolognese

• Fallow Deer

• Norwegian Halibut

• Botanical Hay Smoked Duck

• Lemon Pepper Frog Legs

And so many more! Oh, and don’t forget about their yummy caviar and cheese service.

The New York Times says,

In Atlanta, some of the best cooking happens when chefs build new cuisines out of classic Southern ingredients. Karl Gorline, a Mississippi native, mixes his dedication to tweezer-food precision with his Bavarian heritage to create a refined, unexpected menu of what might best be called Southern Alpine.

How does the New York Times come up with this list of restaurants?

Brian Gallagher from the NYT says,

To make their selections, 14 of our reporters and editors took 76 flights to eat more than 200 meals in 33 states. What’s behind those stats is the desire get a true picture of what’s happening in restaurants across the country. With that in mind, we show up unannounced and make reservations the old-fashioned way (through an app on our smartphones). We pay for all of our food, and we don’t accept freebies. We eat like you do, with the same hope for a meal to remember, to be welcomed and delighted. These are 50 places where we found just that.

In other words, you can be sure that the restaurants weren’t putting on a show for the NYT.

Okay, I’ve gotta check out Avize! Gimme the details?
