The Best Restaurants in Alpharetta
Uncategorized
Anybody that knows me knows that I believe food should be considered a love language. My husband is my personal chef (no kidding, one day he’ll have his own restaurant to add to this list), but when we choose to go out, we love enjoying the best food around. Below our my favorite restaurant recommendations by type. Absolute favorites for each category are delineated with an asterisk (*).
Small note: I apologize in advance for not having an Indian food category. It’s the one type of food our family doesn’t love as much, and we haven’t tried any of the local Indian restaurants. I would never want to recommend something without personal experience, so I’ve left it off the list. If you know of a great one, please feel free to recommend it in a comment below so others can enjoy it too!
