If you’re anything like us, you’re always on the hunt for hottest eats in Birmingham. From newer spots to the classics, read on for six of our team’s favorite things we ate in Birmingham last month.
1. Grilled Prime Ribeye from Gianmarco’s
Starting off with my personal favorite meal of December… and maybe ever. The Grilled Prime Ribeye is served with brussels sprouts, mac and cheese and gorgonzola butter. If I’m treating myself to a nice meal in The Magic City, Gianmarco’s is where I’m headed and this is what I’m ordering. Look at that butter!

4. Build your own poke bowl from The Ono Poké
“The Ono Poké is always my go-to spot for lunch. I love all the fresh ingredients and delicious sauces. My favorite topping has to be pineapple—the sweetness matches perfectly with the saltiness of the tuna.”

5. Triple Mousse Cake from Ocean
Our very own tech expert bragged on a delicious dessert he enjoyed at Ocean. The Triple Mousse Cake is made of butterscotch, milk chocolate mousse, genoise, chocolate tuile, rum anglaise and almond brittle. YUM.
