Steak frites at Floataway Cafe

Few dishes in Atlanta are as good, if not better, than they are in their countries of origin, but the version of steak frites at this Quatrano-Harrison joint rivals any Parisian bistro or brasserie. The wood grill almost quick-smokes the tender hanger steak rubbed and seasoned with just a hint of sweetness. Picture-perfect, hand-cut French fries are substantial and crispy. Try sopping up the steak’s juices with them for an over-the-top mouth smackdown of salt and fat. $27.
