Avo is located upstairs from Dram Whiskey Bar that I have mentioned on Twitter before. I remember that my bartender at Dram said that Avo had a great Sunday brunch so I knew I had to try them out.
Brunch would not be complete without a mimosa. Avo had an Italian mimosa on the menu that I had to try. This mimosa was sparkling wine with grapefruit juice, and an Aperol floater. It was not as sweet as a regular mimosa, the grapefruit juice made it tart, but it was good and a great way to start off brunch.
I ordered the Bluegrass Breakfast, which is a class is breakfast plate of eggs, a meat, grits, and a homemade biscuit. For my meat I went with the bacon. They were nice thick slices of bacon that had a great smoky taste.
The grits were perfect as they were already loaded with butter, just how grits should be. Their biscuits were petite in size. I love the size because I did no fill up on it and was able to eat everything on my plate.
The table also shared the jalapeño hash browns. The potatoes were diced with chopped onions and jalapeño. It was not too spicy and it went well with the extra egg that came on top.
I recommend you add Avo to your brunch check list if you are in the Birmingham area. Check out their menu and drink options at www.avorestaurant.com
Enjoy!
