It isn't difficult to find a restaurant in Birmingham, Alabama to suit any taste. The sit-down, fast food, and pizza chains are all represented, but Birmingham offers much more. Any type of cuisine for any budget can be found. Three great places to try are Nabeel's Caf&eacute;, Florida Grille, and Fox Valley.

Nabeel's Caf&eacute; is located at 1706 Oxmoor Road and specializes in Greek, Italian, and Middle Eastern foods. It is a family owned restaurant done up in a retro 50s d&eacute;cor, with exposed brick and plenty of mirrors to accent the soft lighting. When the weather is nice, you can dine outdoors, and there is a seated bar inside. Beer and a fairly large selection of wine is offered. Rated Birmingham's favorite restaurant three years in a row, Nabeel's is a great place to take clients or to go on a special date.

Florida Grille, at 162 Oxmoor Road, has real Cajun and Caribbean food that includes seafood and steaks. The d&eacute;cor features waterfalls and palm trees that are visible from many places in the restaurant. Bright colors and tropical plants are also used in the decorating scheme. This is a large restaurant, with seating for over 150, and it has an oyster bar. The menu varies based on availability at any time of the year, but two of the perennial favorites are the T-bone, and the Jump Up Platter, which includes snow crab legs, crab cakes, shrimp, and hush puppies. The Florida Grille offers a wide selection of alcoholic beverages, and has an outdoor patio for enjoying pleasant weather.

Fox Valley, Highway 17 in Helena has been around for well over a decade and serves innovative cuisine and a large wine list to go with it. Fox Valley is famous for its crab cakes and has won Wine Spectator Magazine's Award of Excellence nine times. Birmingham residents have voted it the city's "Best Kept Secret," and one of the city's ten best restaurants. From the outside, the d&eacute;cor doesn't look like you're going anywhere special, but once you have a look at the menu you realize what a special place this is.

The city of Birmingham, Alabama is really an undiscovered gem in terms of having a great culinary tradition. These are only three of many outstanding restaurants here.
