Birmingham, get ready for a culinary experience that promises to delight your taste buds! The highly anticipated French fine-dining restaurant, Rêve, is set to open its doors at the Pizitz Food Hall on March 8. With a focus on luxurious tasting menus and classic French comfort food infused with Southern flair, this new eatery promises to make waves in the local food scene.
At the helm of Rêve is the talented Chef Jacob M. Stull, who brings with him a wealth of experience from prestigious kitchens, including Brennan’s in New Orleans and Forté in Tuscaloosa. His culinary journey has led him to this moment, where he combines his French-Canadian heritage with inspirations from around the globe, creating a unique menu that will excite foodies in Birmingham.
Rêve’s concept revolves around an upscale tasting menu experience that offers diners a chance to embark on a culinary journey. The menu highlights ingredients of Spring, taking advantage of the freshest produce and flavors the season has to offer. Stull aims for patrons to enjoy every dish in a leisurely manner, savoring each taste and allowing the experience to unfold over time. In fact, you might want to prepare for a meal that could last up to three hours!
The dishes at Rêve reflect a blend of culinary traditions, with influences drawn from New Orleans and even Vietnam. The theme focuses on “elevated French peasant comfort food,” creating a menu that feels both nostalgic and innovative, all while paralleling aspects of beloved Southern cooking. This harmonious fusion aims to create a dining experience that is both familiar and exquisite.
With seating for 78 guests, Rêve promises an inviting atmosphere, featuring a mix of tables, cozy booths, and even a chef’s bar for those wanting to be right in the heart of the culinary action. There’s also a private dining area for special occasions. The design complements Birmingham’s rich history, featuring touches like cold-rolled steel countertops and artwork from local artists such as Mandy Maples.
As part of the opening week festivities, Rêve will first offer a sumptuous six-course menu priced at $150 per person. Guests should also look forward to a ten-course tasting menu starting on March 14, and later in the month, there will be an expanded à la carte menu featuring brasserie-style classics like steak au poivre and luxurious potato rosti with caviar.
To elevate the dining experience, Rêve will offer thoughtful wine pairings designed to enhance each dish’s flavor profile. The restaurant’s beverage program will include an eclectic selection of wines, French-inspired cocktails, and even a seasonal coffee cocktail menu to chase your meal with just the right pick-me-up.
Rêve is dedicated to ensuring that every diner can enjoy their experience. When making reservations, guests can request dietary preferences such as vegetarian, gluten-free, and even alcohol-free options. This inclusivity is part of what sets Rêve apart as a place for everyone to come together and share in the joy of food.
To maintain the upscale atmosphere, diners are encouraged to come in business casual attire and adhere to reservation times. This way, you can enjoy the full experience that Rêve has to offer.
Rêve, which means “dream” in French, is a reflection of Chef Stull’s aspirations and his deep connections to the culinary landscape. With its grand opening just around the corner, Birmingham’s dining scene is about to witness a spectacular transformation.
Mark your calendars and get ready to explore this sensational new addition. Rêve promises to be a dining experience like no other, perfect for food lovers and those looking to indulge in a little taste of luxury right in the heart of the city.
