Exciting New Dining Experience Set to Open in Vestavia Hills with Miss Astrid’s Tavern

Exciting New Dining Experience Coming to Vestavia Hills!

Hey, food lovers of Vestavia Hills! Are you ready for a brand new dining spot that promises to be the talk of the town? Say hello to Miss Astrid’s Tavern, a charming bar and restaurant that’s set to take over the heart of Cahaba Heights at 3160 Cahaba Heights Road, right behind Resultz Day Spa. This delightful new venture is expected to open its doors by the end of the year, and we couldn’t be more excited!

A Little Background

So, what’s the scoop on Miss Astrid’s Tavern? Well, let’s just say it’s being brought to life by two local culinary talents with impressive backgrounds in the food scene. The development team includes Chef Jessica Armstrong, who has honed her skills at various country clubs including Greystone, Vestavia, and Anniston, and James Bennett, who has worked alongside renowned chefs and has a wealth of experience at places like the Birmingham Country Club and Fennec. Talk about a dream team!

Originally, the space was home to the Fig Tree Cafe, but after some delays (thanks, pandemic!), the project is finally moving forward. The city even approved a sweet economic development incentive, providing $47,000 in sales tax rebates to get things rolling.

What’s on the Menu?

Now, let’s get to the juicy part—what will Miss Astrid’s Tavern serve? This all-new establishment will offer both indoor and outdoor dining, so you can enjoy a meal under the sunshine or in a cozy setting. They’re planning to feature everything from charcuterie classes to splendid wine dinners and even beer and bourbon dinners. All food will be prepared in the kitchen of the former Fig Tree location, ensuring that the place is well-equipped to whip up some deliciousness!

When can you visit? The tavern will serve lunch Tuesday through Friday, dinner from Wednesday to Saturday, and let’s not forget the fan-favorite weekend brunch, available Saturday and Sunday. Sounds tempting, right?
