Ria’s Bluebird
Address: 421 Memorial Dr SE, Atlanta, GA 30312
Neighborhood: Grant Park
Cost: $
Overview: In a consistently and rapidly changing city, Ria’s Bluebird has been a constant on Memorial for 20+ years. Ria Pell opened the restaurant in 2000, and after her passing in 2013, it moved into the hands of Julie Pender. Luckily, Ria’s Bluebird is in great hands with Julie, who pays homage to Ria by upholding her fundamentals — or what she calls, “Ria’s Rules.”
What to Eat: Grab the pancakes! And, if you’re lucky enough to swing by during peach season, indulge in the seasonal peach pancake special.
Julianna’s Crepes

Neighborhood: Inman Park
Cost: $
Overview: With its exterior draped in greenery and recognizable red paint, Julianna’s serves as one of the most delightful, must-visit spots in the city. Although the menu contains only crepes, it’s certainly not limited in flavor or variety. Pro tip: bring a friend and grab both sweet and savory crepes to share.
What to Eat: The Royale, with its smoked gouda and house-made spicy peach apricot chutney, is a must. Grab the Guau if you’re craving something on the sweeter side. The guava paste with cream cheese combo is a dream.
Little Tart
