We love to help our guests find their way around campus, connect with the incredible brands here, and enjoy their stay in Atlanta.
One question buyers always ask us is, “Where should we go eat around here?” To help answer this query, we’ve asked the team at Atlanta Market for some of their favorite eateries in the city.
Here are our restaurant recommendations grouped into five different areas: Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead, other neighborhoods, and just outside the city. Best of all, we have negotiated special rates and added-value benefits with dozens of partner hotels to deliver the amenities you want.

DOWNTOWN

“There’s nothing like carb-loading after a day of sourcing product! One of my favorite spots that’s walking distance to AmericasMart is Amalfi Cucina. The atmosphere transports you right to the Italian coast when you walk in. You can’t go wrong with any of their pizzas or pastas, but don’t forget to order an Aperol Spritz or Amalfi Frose, perfect for July in Atlanta!” — Sarah Zeigler Dunn, Senior Buyer Relations Manager
“Just one block from Atlanta Market, Gibney’s Pub is more than a pub—it’s a beloved bar and grill offering delicious food, a warm, friendly atmosphere, and exceptional hospitality. Owner John has been serving the downtown community since 1997, making it the go-to spot for a hot meal and drinks after a busy day.” — Savanna Schmidt, Social Media Specialist
