Café Agora in Midtown Just Around The Corner [Openings]

Good news for we fans of Café Agora, a Buckhead gyro and Mediterranean spot where I’ve popped more foodie cherries at than I can count.  In July, the Atlanta Business Chronicle broke the news that Café Agora was adding a satellite location in Midtown.  At the time, ABC reported that Agora hoped to be open …

Cafe Agora’s Not Really Secret Menu Secret [Quick Hits]

While it’s far from the most expensive thing in town and there are certainly more elevated restaurants  in the city, Buckhead’s Café Agora always finds its way onto my list of favorite/best/suggested eats in Atlanta.  Not much has changed with the food since I used Agora as an early guinea pig in my writing career.  …

Pita Palace Restaurant Review – Druid Hills, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]

It’s 3 o’clock in the afternoon and beads of sweat drip down my forehead.  I find myself standing in the parking lot of the Druid Hills Whole Foods and my eyes are locked in across the street.  Anyone with good sense would know that the personal shower was due to the hellish-like temperatures of an …

Cafe Antalya Restaurant Review – Dunwoody, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]

Some meals are so transcendent, so illuminating, and so invigorating that you are left speechless.  Some meals are just that good, incapable of being captured in text or image, and ethereally delicious.  This my friends, was not one of those meals.  No, the recent torture session of a meal that took place that fateful night …

ENO Restaurant And Wine Bar In Midtown Closes For Lunch During Summer

Given the recent news regarding chef Eli Kirshtein, I was surprised to find out that ENO in Midtown has adjusted their hours for the summer.  Apparently, despite the news about Top Chef, they are now closed for lunch.  So if you are trying to avoid dinner prices (and crowds) for some grub, you’re going to …

ChowDownAtlanta Gets It So Right

It started with a stare … tepid at first.  Gradually, a brow furrowed, the lips quivered, and the eyes turned on me … I had sinned.  Mortally sinned for that matter.  Her hand shot across the table and into the left over tin foil cone, the former home of my gyro.  Seconds later her hand …

Cafe Agora Restaurant Review – Buckhead, Atlanta, GA

From the archives (11.09.08) A good buddy of mine joined me for lunch at Café Agora this past Friday; the experience was yet another in a long line of tasty meals at this Mediterranean eatery. With the demise of Shipfeifer, Agora is now the only spot in the ATL I go for a quality gyro …
