• La FêteBib This idyllic bistro makes good on its promise of comfort and quality. Tiled flooring, quaint little tables and cabinets lined with wine bottles match the French ethos. Thanks to a partnership with sister spot Bandit bakery, anything involving bread or pastry is worth ordering: flaky croissants, tomato and goat cheese tarts, fruit galettes. Roasted half chicken with potato gratin is an assured crowd-pleaser but so too is the dry-aged cheeseburger or the boudin blanc with aligot potatoes. Relaxed servers add to the allure of a restaurant that welcomes you as you are at any time of the day.18.0km

Much of the food is cooked in cast-iron skillets. From Spanish omelets dotted with chorizo vinaigrette to charred empanadas to finely-seared scallops set in ajo blanco sauce, the tapas-style menu does not shy away from flavor and is fully designed for sharing. For dessert, spiced molasses crème brûlée makes18.1km
• Pizza GraceBib This rambunctious pizzeria in Mercantile on Morris is a stylish spot built out of hard, warehouse floors and exposed brick. In lieu of traditional preparations, the kitchen takes a maximalist approach to toppings. Pesto, mortadella and pistachios or chorizo with romesco and chopped Castelvetrano olives arrive on a fine sourdough crust that’s been turned and crisped in a hot electric oven. Though the pies are serious and sizeable, meatballs are also a must-order for the table, as are desserts. Think pistachio tiramisu or a nostalgic ice cream bar dipped in chocolate. A fun selection of natural 18.1km

It's exactly the point.16.4km
• Bottega There is a good reason why reservations are sparse at Frank and Pardis Stitt’s long-standing Bottega. The historic, neo-classical Beaux-Arts building stands out in Birmingham's Southside neighborhood, and eager, sharply dressed guests wait outside for doors to open. Some find seats at the bar; others settle into an elegantly cut dining room fit with dark wood walls and high ceilings.

Brioche-crusted salmon with lemon beurre blanc is classic in style while the prime ribeye marinated in banana vadouvan miso shows a more adventurous side. While some moments have more style than substance, the kitchen’s penchant for risk-taking is noteworthy. An upbeat playlist, along with relaxed, attentive serv18.0km
