My Family Loves To Dine Out At An Athens Diner Pub

By Cristin Zambo


Going out for dinner or lunch is something that appeals to most everyone. It is a chance to enjoy the company of friends or loved ones and at the same time partake in a nice meal. Restaurants offer a huge variety of different environments and types of cuisine, so there is something to please all people. In the city of Athens GA restaurants are numerous and offer a great choice of different styles and cuisines.

There is one great eating place that is set up in the bistro style and has the same name as the original music club that originally stood on its location back in the sixties. They are open for lunch Monday to Saturday from 11-3, and for dinner every day 5-10. The menu is a combination of southern and south-western cooking and features such items as soups, quesadillas, pastas, salads, fish entrees and steaks. Their specialty drink is several variations of the martini.

Another fabulous dining experience is at a comfortable and cozy restaurant that is run by a Canadian chef, who has won numerous awards for his cuisine. His menu features comfort foods mostly, and has a southern flair with the odd Canadian specialty thrown in. The place has a light and airy, welcoming atmosphere that is quiet and relaxing. It is open for daily for dinner and for brunch on Sundays. They are known for their interesting selection of wines too. Catering services for special events are another thing they offer.

Not many dining places combine Mediterranean and Asian cuisine, but one other Athens restaurant has managed to do so successfully. Their menu is a lovely combination of these two distinct flavors, which complement each other quite well. The atmosphere is very homey and has a radiant warmth to it, that makes guests feel welcome. Several different seating areas are available for the guest to select from and the kitchen is open for all to view, allowing them to watch as the chef prepares their meals. All meats and fish are very fresh, and do not contain hormones. They are known for having a superb wine selection as well. Lunch, dinner and brunch are all offered here.

With a style all its own, one local eatery has its own attached farms where it grows and raises its own animals and produce and then serves these into meals. All food served is either from their own farms or other local ones. It is like an outdoor barbecue, and features an ever-changing menu. Menu items include homemade meals like Ploughman's lunch and meat and cheese boards. There is also a bar which serves its own original cocktails and hosts live music most nights. They offer dinner from 5:30-10 and a brunch on Sundays.

People who are either on a vegan diet or for those carnivores who don't mind occasionally trying a meat-free dish, there is a great little casual place that serves up tasty vegan entrees in large portions that can even be enjoyed by those who don't normally like this kind of food. It's a hip and relaxed spot with a quiet vibe to it. The menu includes such items as pitas, casseroles, pastas and salads and also great meatless meals of hummus, chickpeas, tofu and falafel. They have a special menu for children and a daily special each day.

There is another charming spot to eat at, that has been designed to resemble the open-air bistros found in western Europe. There is a classy-casual atmosphere to this cheerful place. It has a regular bar which serves homemade yogurt, pastries, fruit and coffee in the morning and wines, draught beer and seasonal cocktails for lunch and dinner. The menu features a Mediterranean cuisine for lunch and dinner which changes frequently and a delectable dessert menu. One nice event this restaurant hosts is its "Dinner and Movie" night on Thursdays-Sundays, where a meal is served as a film is shown.

People who are planning to select a nice place to eat at that offers great food and an inviting atmosphere, should try any one of these lovely places. Each one of these Athens GA restaurants is special in its own way and has a lot to offer diners. Any one who tries them will likely be glad they did.
