15 Top Destination Dining Spots
Decatur’s five Michelin restaurants — Chai Pani, The Deer and The Dove, Kimball House, The White Bull, and Fawn — are less than a mile apart and all within a 10-minute walk from the Decatur Square. You won’t find so many, so close together, anywhere else!
Chai Pani dazzles with color-drenched walls and Bollywood flair and serves Indian street food. The Deer and Dove’s menu revolves around seasonal, rustic Southern fare including duck, quail, venison, and pheasant.
Kimball House is the epitome of elegance in Decatur’s historic train depot; they have metro Atlanta’s best oysters program and outstanding oysters. Miles Macquarrie of Kimball House was also the Michelin Guide Atlanta 2024 Exceptional Cocktails Award Winner.
The White Bull spotlights house-made pasta crafted from house-milled flour. And Fawn is a wine and amaro bar with seasonal seafood plates.
