Get to know five exciting new restaurants across the South

As summer rolls into fall, hospitality groups and independent operators continue to open new restaurants across the country. The southern region of the United States offers a diversity of new concepts, ranging from intimate, reservations-only spots highlighting plant-based dishes, to sprawling, casual hangouts that put a premium on patios.

Miami has welcomed a couple new restaurants with international pedigrees: Chimba is the first stateside opening from an Argentina-based group, and Adrift Mare is the latest concept from “Gypsy Chef” David Myers, whose reach stretches from California to Dubai. In Atlanta, the long-anticipated Breaker Breaker is finally here, transforming an unusual plot of land into a fun-loving indoor/outdoor restaurant big enough for a crowd.

Over in Texas, Austin got its first entirely vegan tasting menu restaurant — Fabrik — while Dallas continues its recent run of Italian openings with Via Triozzi, a homey ode to family cooking.
