The Iberian Pig

Amazing Restaurants

I’ve got another restaurant experience to tell you about. It was so good that I just have to share! Matt parents took us to the Iberian Pig in Decatur when they were visiting. ALL the tapas were devine, so there’s really no need for me to tell you how delicious, fabulous, unique, mouth-watering each dish was. I’ll just leave you with the description of what I tried, and know that any positive adjective would probably fit:)

    The tapas look incredible. I’m not sure if Iberian Pig had these, but one of my favorite tapas restaurants has these AMAZING fried goat cheese balls drizzled in honey and topped with lavender. They were divine.

    Hi! I just wanted to recommend you try a restaurant called “Fritti” in the highlands area of ATL-they have phenomenal pizzas made by an Italian certified pizza chef! Great place for a casual date night!!

    So excited for this restaurant! The husband and I checked out the menu when we were wandering through Decatur and knew we’d have to come back once we move.
