Livable Buckhead, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is showcasing a bevy of Buckhead’s finest restaurants this week in a bite-sized way. In 2024, the organization collaborated with its Events and Marketing Council and surrounding retail, restaurants, and attractions to determine whether there was interest in bringing Buckhead Restaurant Week back after a hiatus of about eight years. Following a blessing from the community, Livable Buckhead took the lead on producing the event, creating an engaging website and recruiting local restaurants. Now kicking off its third year, Buckhead Restaurant Week is championing the culinary excellence of Buckhead from July 27th – August 1st, 2026.
“The goal remains the same as it was when we started, which is to spotlight the amazing dining options in Buckhead. There really is something for everyone, from bubble tea and street tacos to Michelin-recognized restaurants, classic steakhouses, and world-class seafood,” said Scott Cantrell, Director of Communications of Livable Buckhead.
On the menu this year are 45 of Buckhead’s standout culinary destinations, ranging from steakhouses and Italian kitchens to sushi, Mediterranean spots, and even Peruvian-inspired ceviche bars. A few standout participants include Postino, Aria, Bistro Niko, Brush Sushi, Madre Selva, Pricci, The Betty, and more.
“The restaurants curate unique offerings, just for Buckhead Restaurant Week, that allow them to change things up a bit and draw in a new audience,” said Cantrell. “Livable Buckhead’s mission is to strengthen the long-term vitality of the district. That means investing in mobility and greenspace through programs like PATH400. Still, it also means supporting the businesses and everyday experiences that make Buckhead a place people want to live, work, and visit. Restaurant Week does that by driving foot traffic to local restaurants and giving the community a reason to explore the neighborhood on foot, much like Miracle on Peachtree does during the holidays.”
