different, Westside Provisions is the place to go for food and drink this holiday season. Here’s a small taste of what we’ve got to offer:

STAR PROVISIONS, BACCHANALIA AND LITTLE BACCH Star Provisions, a cook’s marketplace, fronts Bacchanalia, one of Atlanta’s most acclaimed dining destinations. Insider tip - discover Little Bacch, downstairs underneath Bacchanalia.
2.
ORMSBY’S Hidden underneath Room & Board, find one of the best gastropubs in Atlanta. Ormsby’s offers an amazing beer selection and delicious fare in decadent portions, as well as bocce ball and other games. A great place to hang out friends — or to distract family.
3.

5.
MARCEL New since last season, Marcel is intimate and romantic, with food that is simply to die for. The chef recommends the Foie Gras and Fig Terrine.
6.
YEAH! BURGER YEAH! BURGER isn’t just for burgers; its sides, like the roasted Brussels sprouts (pictured here), are also delicious. Or, try a veggie burger on top of an arugula side salad for a lighter take on the classic burger.
7.
TAQUERIA DEL SOL Literally THE best Tex-Mex in town. The margaritas are also awesome!
8.
JCT. KITCHEN A Westside Provisions mainstay, JCT. Kitchen continually delivers a best-inclass dining experience. You can’t fail to impress family and friends with the flavor of the classic truffle parmesan fries (pictured here).
