The dining scene is full of restaurants attempting to cash in on the latest culinary trends, and often closing just as quickly as they open.

Enjoy a meal at GAYOT's Top Old-Timer Restaurants in Atlanta, some of which are still trendy and à la mode after all these years. These selections are presented in alphabetical order.
