Eat Local at Pepper Place

Pepper Place, Birmingham’s Culinary Destination

Pepper Place-it’s a well-known market district meets award-winning foodie scene. We may have started as a market district where local business is celebrated and supported, but today, we’ve built one of Birmingham’s best culinary destinations.

The Market at Pepper Place, which we started in 2000 as a way to help connect small family farms to the people and population of Birmingham has blossomed into a vibrant landscape for Birmingham-based businesses and multiple generations of Alabama farming families–and brought millions into the Birmingham economy. From farm to Pepper Place to area tables, the Market at Pepper Place has also set the stage for a thoughtfully curated and growing food scene Pepper Place.

A Feast for All

Pepper Place is home to award winning, chef-owned restaurants sure to impress the fanciest of foodies. Hot and Hot Fish Club, Blueprint on 3^rd, and Ovenbird are among the city’s top dining spots and they can all be found in Birmingham’s very own market district. If casual is something you’re seeking check out The Lumbar–Birmingham’s only science-themed bar. And for coffee, breakfast, lunchtime soups and sandwiches, Pepper Place is also home to the original Red Cat Coffee House.

The Market has also helped launch local food businesses, which have also found a home at Pepper Place.
