Brookhaven, Georgia, is known for its top-rated schools, both public and private, which makes it especially appealing for families. But the Atlanta school enclave also has some cool things to do.
What’s There To Do in Brookhaven?
Nestled just north of Atlanta, the city of Brookhaven, Georgia has made a name for itself on several fronts, including shopping, dining and cool places to visit.
The relatively new city has come a long way since its beginnings as a rural community with farmland and homesteads scattered throughout the area that is now northern DeKalb County.
One of Atlanta’s most expensive neighborhoods, the Brookhaven area is also close to Oglethorpe University, adding to the community’s educational appeal.
Brookhaven, Georgia, has plenty to offer, from parks and cultural activities to great dining and shopping. Here are some top picks:
1. Murphey Candler Park
1551 N. Nancy Creek Dr., Atlanta Ga. 30319
A 135-acre park featuring a lake, walking trails, sports fields, and picnic spots. It’s perfect for a leisurely stroll, birdwatching, fishing, or even some quiet time by the water.
Here’s what one visitor says about the park: “Great place for a walk if there is not a ball game going on. During baseball season, the parking lots will fill up quickly.
Also a great place to go take pictures of the wildlife. All kinds of different Birds, Deer, and Otters. Also a great place to see birds you never see in Atlanta when they stop during migration.
Being a photographer, it’s a nice place to sit and wait for the next animal to come into range for a great picture.”2. Brookhaven Farmers Market

I got the hometown honey, it is so good. I tried the nicobella organic chocolate, that’s not bad. The sandwich they make on site is delicious. The home made soaps are awesome so far,and better priced than the equivalents from the store. Any fruits and veggies I have tried have been a world of difference from even the organic produce at the grocery stores. Most things are pretty pricy, so I only get a few items each week, but love it so far.”

Bookstore has a pleasant student to help. Seats are available for elderly visitors. Park in the visitor parking at the top of the quadrangle. Come on a Saturday for free admission.”

This Japanese omakase spot, led by chef Jason Liang, is celebrated for its artistry and precision in sushi preparation. The intimate, chef-led experience focuses on high-quality seasonal fish and minimalist presentation, allowing each dish’s flavors to shine.

Each of these restaurants offers a unique, high-quality dining experience, making them worthy of their MICHELIN Star recognition.
Michelin Stars: What’s the Big Deal?
A Michelin Star is one of the highest accolades a restaurant can receive, symbolizing excellence in the culinary world. Here’s why it’s so significant:
- Global Recognition: Michelin Stars are awarded by the Michelin Guide, one of the most respected restaurant guides worldwide. A star (or multiple stars) places a restaurant on the global map, often attracting international food enthusiasts.
- Symbol of Quality: Each star represents a high standard of cuisine:
- One Star: A very good restaurant in its category.
- Two Stars: Excellent cooking, worth a detour.
- Three Stars: Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey.
- Boost in Business: Earning a Michelin Star can dramatically increase a restaurant’s visibility and reservations, as diners often seek out starred restaurants for special occasions or to experience top-quality dining.
- Chef and Staff Prestige: A Michelin Star is a mark of achievement for chefs and their teams, elevating their careers and giving them a place among the world’s culinary elite. It often brings opportunities, from collaborations to new ventures.
- Higher Expectations: Michelin Stars set a high standard, motivating restaurants to maintain excellence in service, quality, and innovation. However, stars also bring pressure, as restaurants must continue to impress Michelin inspectors each year to retain their rating.
Overall, a Michelin Star signals an exceptional dining experience, enhancing a restaurant’s reputation and often redefining the local dining scene.
Final Word
“As we celebrate the second year of the MICHELIN Guide in Atlanta, the dedication and skill of the local culinary community continue to impress our anonymous Inspectors,” said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides. “We are thrilled to introduce four new MICHELIN Star restaurants to the Guide. Congratulations to Atlanta for another exceptional year for its restaurant and hospitality industry.”
