Midtown Atlanta has a new tapas bar, this time in the tradition of Spain. Bulla Gastrobar opened in September at 60 11th Street NE in the 12th & Midtown development.
Bulla (pronounced “boo-ya”) is a casual yet upscale restaurant that offers shareable Spanish cuisine and a creative cocktail program.
Bulla Gastrobar, a Florida-based venture, is being brought to Atlanta by Centurion Restaurant Group. “Bulla to me is a celebration of the best things about Spanish culture and dining,” Carlos Centurion, president and founder of Centurion Restaurant Group, said in a news release. “We provide excellent food and service, but more than that, we give our guests an exceptional dining experience; one that is casual and relaxed but also tasteful and elegant. -
The Atlanta area’s most well-regarded Latino sandwich shop is open at The Battery Atlanta. For months now, El Super Pan is joining the sports and entertainment complex anchored by SunTrust Park in spring 2018.
El Super Pan’s first location, at Ponce City Market, in Midtown has been a hit since its 2015 debut.
El Super Pan opens at The Battery Atlanta
Three-time James Beard-nominated Chef Hector Santiago will bring his popular Latin American fare to “Los Bravos” (Braves fans) for lunch and dinner seven days a week in the Cumberland community. Fan favorites from Puerto Rican-born Santiago include the sought-after Mofongos, the Cubano Mixto, pressed sandwich on a traditional Cuban bread and desserts such as chipotle-chocolate chip cookies, organic egg flan, and bacon-guava shortbread cookie and Cuban coffee.
Although the Braves are playing and SunTrust Park is up and running, development in the vicinity continues to take off.
In addition to El Super Pan, the Omni Hotel is set to open in early 2018, giving visitors a home before and after Braves games as well as anchoring metro Atlanta’s newest entertainment destination. The property will feature 264 guest rooms across 16 floors.
Where is El Super Pan located at the Battery?
El Super Pan is located at 455 Legends Place, Suite 862, Atlanta, GA 30339 inside The Battery. Here’s a map to help you find the place.
Atlanta is having a restaurant renaissance. Hot chicken is the rage in Atlanta’s dining scene right now. But so are chicken and waffles.
Fast-casual is also the dining trend du jour around metro Atlanta restaurants. The concept involves mixing the quick accessibility of fast food with the casual dining experience. Food in Atlanta is also adapting to the various tastes of the migrants that come here to live.

Donald Glover’s runaway hit “Atlanta” not just introduced us to diverse characters who riffed on the nuances of the city, but it also introduced millions of people to the Atlanta brand.
But after just one season, the show disappeared from the FX schedule. Glover has gone on to produce a critically acclaimed album and gotten a juicy part in the “Star Wars” franchise as a younger Lando Calrissian.
On Friday, the official Twitter account for the show tweeted “3.1,” which we all have taken to mean that on March 1, 2018, the show will return.
The date is not far off from when those connected with the show expected it to return. Co-star Lakeith Stanfield reportedly said that the second seasonwill premiere in February on FX, according to Pitchfork.
It’s not like the show’s hiatus didn’t serve the cast members well.
The show’s other actors have become hot among movie producers, with Lakeith Stanfield stealing some major shine in “Get Out” and “Death Note,” and playing alongside Brian Tyree Henry in “Crown Heights.”
Meanwhile, Zazie Beetz will get some major screen time in “Deadpool” sequel with more on tap.
Glover, for his part, has felt like the long hiatus has been healthy for fans of the hit show.
“I’m not the type of person to rush anything,” he told Fader magazine last fall. “I feel like if you rush it, you’ll start to get something you don’t want and then you start to question why you even liked it. I’m not gonna make anything until it’s ready. But to be completely honest, it’s almost ready. I’m pretty happy with a lot of the things, and I think it’s better than the first season.”

Well, we’ll believe it when we see it. And hopefully soon.
