Birmingham has a couple of fantastic
barbecue
joints; for something a little more upmarket, the best bet is to ignore downtown in favor of
Five Points South
.
Bottega 2240 Highland Ave S tel 205/933-2001. Elegant 1920s clothing store that now houses one of Five Points South's classiest restaurants, serving luscious, garlic-rich Mediterranean cuisine; prices are slightly lower in the adjoining CafAŠ . Closed Sun. Dreamland Barbecue 14th Ave S tel 205/933-2133. Superlative barbecue in huge, cheery restaurant. Place your order for a big plate of ribs with white sliced bread and sauce - the only dish on the menu - and watch as they barbecue in front of your eyes. The Mill 1035 20th St S tel 205/939-3001. Bakery, brewery and general snackery, with outdoor patio, in Five Points South. Ideal for morning coffees and inexpensive lunches.
Ollie's Barbecue
515 University Blvd tel 205/324-9485. Wonderful smoky pork in a peppery sauce; unusually for this part of the country, there's beef and chicken too. Mon 10am-3pm, Tues-Sat until 8pm. Other useful information
for tourists (each section contains more specific sub-sections): |
