The Best Restaurants in Birmingham, Alabama | Eater Atlanta

"Pastries, pastas, and brunch are the move at this intimate, yet trendy Morris Avenue spot. The space itself is darling, and offerings such as homemade pop-tarts and an A-plus beverage selection make the Essential one of the most Instagrammable restaurants in Birmingham. Open daily, the restaurant takes reservations for lunch and dinner, but its coveted brunch service is first-come, first serve. Nearby siblings Bandit Patisserie and Bar La Fete are also worth a visit." - Sarra Sedghi
