If you are staying in Buckhead - you will not be staying in the cheapest area. You really should go to the Buckhead Diner. The food is great. If you can get to Johnson Ferry Road, go to La Strada - great Italian at very reasonable prices.

Good and cheap in Atlanta?
Dan, My favorite for a nice, but reasonably priced meal is Luna Si at 1931 Peachtree Road. You can have a 4 course, outstanding, meal for $30 if you order the Luna/Trower creation on the menu. The chef sends out an appetizer, pasta, entree and dessert of his choice (but is open to suggestion). Drinks are extra. Items on the menu are reasonably priced and their fish is terrific. Even cheaper is Pasta da Pulcinella in a storefront between 10th & 11th streets on Peachtree. The most expensive pasta is about $10. Their salads are also of excellent quality and taste. In the Buckhead pub area is Texas Rib Ranch that is good BBQ if you're into mass quantities of meat. Just down Peachtree a little is La Fonda Latina for latin food (good bargain on paella) or Fellini's for pizza. Hope you enjoy your trip. KK

There is a place called Yakitori Dan Chan in Buckhead (right on Peachtree) that serves Japanese-style skewered meats and vegetables cooked on a grill in the middle of the room. The owner is American, but speaks fluent Japanese. The food is outstanding, simply prepared, and cheap. Try it, and don't miss the RICEBALL!
