Top 10 Restaurants In Marietta, Georgia, USA

Marietta, on the outskirts of Atlanta, is known for two things: the Gone with the Wind Museum, and Main Square. But things are changing. Award-winning chefs have moved here, and this unassuming suburb is fast becoming a foodie heaven. Here’s our pick of local restaurants for fine food, southern style.

Kiosco
Kiosco is consistently described as one of the best restaurants in town and its owners are dedicated to providing high-quality Colombian food at extraordinarily reasonable prices. If you’re a fan of plantain bananas, you may just have found your personal heaven. Start with a sangria, follow it up by the grilled steak served with sweet plantains and avocado, the half roasted chicken with raspberry sauce, or the salmon in mango sauce. Save some space (portions are huge) to try the coconut cobbler for dessert.

Marietta Diner
With its glass and steel exterior, pink and turquoise neon lighting, all-hours service and international cuisine, Marietta Diner is the perfect embodiment of the American diner. The menu reads like an encyclopedia, and includes Italian fettucine and ‘kabobs’ on pilaf rice. For lunch, try the Reuben sandwich, with a choice of either corned beef or pastrami, melted cheese and sauerkraut on rye bread; on a date, order the Land & Sea, a gigantic platter comprising a filet of flounder with feta and spinach stuffing, a chicken breast stuffed with seafood stuffing, and two stuffed jumbo shrimps.

The Fish Market
At first glance, The Fish Market comes across as a giant Seaworld adventure theme park sort of place. There is a large cardboard cut-out of the Cape Elizabeth lighthouse in Maine, and hand-painted murals depicting life on the Aegean Sea. The marine influence is easily explained: the owner, Gus Tselios, hails from Greece and many of his dishes are inspired by his native cuisine. With generous portions, fresh ingredients and a convivial atmosphere, The Fish Market is perfect for a laid-back meal. Try the Mediterranean seafood paella, definitely a stand-out dish, as well as the shrimp and cheese grits, which are typical of the region. The clam chowder and fried flounder are also highly recommended.

Taqueria Tsunami
Located on the Square, Taqueria Tsunami artfully marries Latin and Far Eastern cuisines in a harmonious symbiosis. Start with a cucumber salad, or a shrimp de fuego, crispy tempura fried shrimp with jalapenos and Thai sauce. Graduate to the asada zing taco, which contains nothing less than bulgogi-marinated steak, topped with shiitake mushrooms, lettuce, and a soy-sesame vinaigrette. Or opt for a tsunami trio, including a choice of two tacos, and one side, served al fresco on the Square if the weather permits. A portion of the proceeds goes towards tsunami and natural disaster relief efforts around the world.
