In Atlanta, you can find a great quality restaurant no matter what you are craving, according to AtlantaEats.com. Tapas, too, can be found to cater to any palate. The small plates, which are popular in Spanish cuisine and can be served hot or cold, have evolved into an entire cuisine over the past few years. Tapas are great for sharing and because you are not as focused on consuming a large dish yourself, they breed great conversation amongst a group.
Here are some of Atlanta’s best tapas restaurants.
