10 Degrees South
Restaurants serving food from African countries is hardly rare, however, there aren't many restaurants that serve food from the country of South Africa. Ten Degrees South fills this void. The restaurant started out with meager beginnings as a small eating space in Buckhead. Over time, it transformed into a trendy restaurant receiving rave reviews for décor as well as food. The restaurant notes that South African food is a fusion of Portuguese, French, Dutch, German and Malaysian cuisines. The menu reflects this blend by offering notable items like bobotie (sweet ground beef curry), escargot and filet au poivre.
