Primeaux is a full-service casual, fine dining restaurant and wine bar with a European flair. Located in the Summit Lifestyle Center in Birmingham, Alabama and inspired by the “slow food” movement of southern Europe. Primeaux offers a calm alternative to the loud, fast, mass marketed food choices offered in a more corporate dining setting. We offer quality fresh and local ingredients and traditional cooking styles. Like nowhere else in Birmingham, Primeaux is sexy and sophisticated, yet stripped of the pretense of a traditional fine dining experience.

At Primeaux, we invite you to join us for a chef created salad of locally grown vegetables and greens for lunch, to savor our interpretation of classic French sandwiches like our decadent Croque Monsieur or to dine on one of our Chef’s feature dinner entrées with friends and a great bottle of wine. If you are a craft beer enthusiast, wash down our Lamb Sliders with the finest locally brewed Alabama beer available or linger over a cup of our gourmet French press coffee and decadent desserts after a movie. At Primeaux we pride ourselves on creating gourmet delights as well as the perfect Wagyu hamburger and truffle fries. Primeaux is the perfect spot for lunch, happy hour, date night, or just a relaxing night out. Come sit and listen to live music on weekends, chat with friends, nibble on a cheese plate or sample a new favorite wine.

With a small but thoughtful selection of quality cheeses curated by our cheesemonger and wines handpicked by our in-house sommelier also available for retail sale, not only can you have a great meal, but you can take home your favorite dishes or drinks. Primeaux is a place to pick up the perfect bottle of wine for a special occasion after dining or lunching in our full service restaurant. In addition, Primeaux offers unique catering opportunities either at our Summit location or in your private space. We also feature a special Chef’s Table offering 8 courses, each served with an expertly paired wine. less
