A panda's daily diet consists almost entirely of the leaves, stems, and shoots of various bamboo species (where did you think the whole Eats Shoots and Leaves came from, anyway?).
Bamboo contains very little nutritional value so pandas must every day eat between 12-38 kgs (that’s 28-80 lbs) to meet their energy needs. But they do branch out (ha!), with about 1% of their diet comprising other plants and even meat. While they are almost entirely vegetarian, pandas will sometimes hunt for pikas and other small rodents.
Jack’s NY Deli
3333 Piedmont Rd NE #120
Well, it might not be Katz’s,but you can grab a pastrami on rye. Or a Po’Boy. (And NOT NYC prices!) The menu is massive – order in advance and it’s waiting for you. Sandwiches are served in old-school paper-lined red plastic baskets, overflowing with fresh-cut fries.
Flying Biscuit Café
https://www.flyingbiscuit.com/locations-2/buckhead/
3280 Peachtree St NE #145
Breakfast (and lunch!) like the locals. Peaches & cream waffled, chicken and waffles … plenty of vegetarian choices.
The White House Restaurant
3172 Peachtree Rd NE
I am a sucker for a diner. And this one has been around since 1948. So old-school there’s no website, ut you can find the menu here: https://foursquare.com/v/white-house-restaurant/4b058484f964a520045922e3/menu
Three Arches
https://www.hyattcentricbuckheadrestaurantsatl.com/
3301 Lenox Pkwy
Yeah, it’s in the Hyatt. But is it perfect for a small group wanting to share small plates. Best part: there’s a large outdoor patio with a central fire pit where you can sip house-made sangria and talk about the papers you heard.
The Treehouse
treehouseatlanta.com
7 Kings Cir NE
f you can’t find something to love here … starters like deep-fried pepperjack bites,
Thai-chili shrimp salad, the Wicked Pimento burger, or a grouper rueben (say what?). Add a side of plantains. Of course, there’s the white truffle pizza!
Painted Pin
https://www.thepaintedpin.com/
737 Miami Cir NE
Not your middle-school bowling alley
Between frames nosh on soy ginger edamame or meatball queso fundido or ranch & cheddar pork rinds. How about fried oyster sliders or prosciutto cotto & pineapple pizza? And cocktails, of course!
Cafe Sunflower Vegan
https://www.cafesunflower.com/
2140 Peachtree Rd NW
The Sunflower was vegan before vegan was cool. Global vegan fare--from pad thai to fettuccine, and from “chicken” parm to a gyro wrap.
South City Kitchen
https://www.southcitykitchen.com/
3350 Peachtree Rd NE Suite 175
Contemporary Southern (what actually is she-crab soup?). A little price-ier, but gouda fritters? Yum!
Urban Wu
3330 Piedmont Rd NE #22B
Don’t let the strip mall fool you. This is kick-ass Sichuan that serves large portions! (I, for one, will pass on the Beef Tendon & Tripe, but damn spicy and sour shredded potato and Grandma’s spicy pickled cabbage are calling my name!)
Recess
3150 Roswell Rd NW STE A1
Salada, bowls, tacos—with a upscale (yet not spendy!) twist. And, they have “build your own” for all of us picky-eaters.
The Southern Gentleman
https://www.thesoutherngentlemanatl.com/
3035 Peachtree Rd NE A208
I mean how can you go wrong? White cheddar hushpuppies? Short Rib Pot Roast?
Sweet potato cornbread?
Velvet Taco

77 W Paces Ferry Rd NW Ste 35A
A paneer taco? A chicken tikka taco? A Korean fried rice taco? Say what? Say “Kick Ass Margarita!
Win — Taste Of Bali
https://www.wintasteofbali.com/menu
2285 Peachtree Road NE, Unit 100, Atlanta, GA 30309
If you can’t be on a beach in Bali, at least you can east like it! Make a mean of small plates and satay—or dive into the eclectic menu
Gypsy Kitchen
3035 Peachtree Rd NE Ste A209
Small plates, large plates, sweet plates, charcuterie, and fancy schmancy cocktails. Gotta love a place where their “Gintonic” (Ford's gin, exclusive gypsy tonic, dragonfruit, hibiscus, mint, lime) is on draught!
Iberian Pig
https://www.iberianpig.com/buckhead
3150 Roswell Rd NW
Tapas and Quesos and Jamon. AND vegetarian options (like the seriously yummy patatas bravas!) $5 sangria during happy hour!

810 M.L.K. Jr Dr SW
Black-eyed peas, smothered prok chops, collards and corn bread and fried okra … work a trip to this James Beard Award-Winning restaurant (just not priced that way!)
Old Lady Gang Southern Cuisine
Eat like the Real Housewives of Atlanta—yep, they eat here. (Can you say, "cat fight"?)
Love me some fried green tomatoes, fish and grits, and peach cobbler bread pudding.
Slutty Vegan
476 Edgewood Ave SE
Come for the name, stay for the food!

Below a few Buford Road joints that came recommended!
Pupuseria Mi Tierra
5090 Buford Hwy NE #102nd, Doraville, GA 30340
https://www.facebook.com/p/Pupuseria-MI-Tierra-Only-cash-100063630281077/
This Salvadoran spot makes killer pupusas that come stuffed with cheese, chicharon, or beans and served with hot sauce and spicy slaw. Or go for generously-filled tamales. But bring cash!
Sweet Hut Bakery Café
https://www.sweethutbakery.com/
5150 Buford Hwy NE A-100, Doraville, GA 30340
Yeah, it’s a local chain—and for good reason. Try the black pepper chicken puffs and spring onion hot dogs. Wash them down with a slushie. Then finish with a cream-filled doughnut or creamy custard bun.
LanZhou Ramen 兰州拉面
https://lanzhouramenatlanta.com/and https://lanzhouramenatlanta.com/menu/
5231 Buford Hwy NE, Doraville, GA 30340
Here’s all you need to know: heaping plates of hand-pulled noodles with pork or oxtail or duck or beef (and vegetarian options!). The best part--watch the chef roll, twist, pull, and whip the noodles into shape.
Best BBQ
5000 Buford Hwy NE, Chamblee, GA 30341
https://best-bbq.business.site/?utm_source=gmb&utm_medium=referral
Famous for their dim sum, but there’s always the steamed chicken feet, too.
