The Best Restaurants Around Lenox Mall

It’s a strange thought that a mall can become a landmark, but in Atlanta, Lenox Mall is iconic. With hotels dotting the area all around the mall, there’s a lot of great dining options for both out of towners and local ATL-iens. We’ve attempted to put together a list of the best places AROUND Lenox, for when the food court can’t cut it.  FYI – This doesn’t include some of the great options you can find across the street inside of Phipps Plaza (including Nobu and the newly opened Citizens Market Food Hall).
