"Get the croissant croque forestier ($18), with crispy, butter-filled layers, oozing with roasted mushrooms, Gruyere, and bechamel sauce, and topped with a sunny-side-up egg. The filling is umami-rich, and a bright side salad keeps the richness in check."
"The potato pavé ($12) has precise golden layers that are crisp on the outside, soft within, and served with whipped ranch for spreading. The caviar add-on is worth the additional $12. A glass of cremant de Savoie sparkling wine makes a natural pairing."
"Blue-and-white Parisian bistro chairs line the patio, while a black-and-white tiled floor leads into a dining room wrapped in pink floral wallpaper and maps of French cities hung like jewelry. People of all ages put on their Sunday best: flowy dresses, chic sweaters, and one sporting a vintage walking cane with a golden eagle head."
La Fête, a French bistro on Morris Avenue in downtown Birmingham, combines historic architecture with refined French cuisine and subtle Southern touches. Chef and owner Kristen Hall creates an elegant atmosphere reminiscent of Van Gogh's Café Terrace at Night, featuring soft lighting, floral décor, and Parisian bistro chairs. The menu highlights laminated croissants and classic French dishes, including the croissant croque forestier with roasted mushrooms and Gruyere, and the precisely layered potato pavé. Cocktails like the Kissing on the Cobblestone and blood orange paloma complement the brunch experience. The restaurant attracts diverse patrons who dress elegantly, while the open kitchen allows diners to observe chef Hall's focused preparation.
