Brick & Tin coming to Mountain Brook Village

The owner of downtown Birmingham’s Brick & Tin restaurant is set to open a second location in Mountain Brook Village later this year.

Mauricio Papapietro signed a lease for the former Village Dermatology space on Cahaba Road in July and anticipates opening for lunch and dinner by the end of the year. The eatery will also feature a full bar.

The menu will be slightly expanded from its downtown location to include seasonal entrées.

 “We felt like [this location] would be a good fit for that neighborhood and good way to bring what we are doing downtown to more people,” Papapietro said. “I think sensibilities of people in the surrounding area are in line with our sensibilities.”

Brick & Tin makes its paninis, soups, salads and entrees from scratch and buys as much of its food from local farmers as it can, Papapietro said. All bread is baked daily.

 “We use high-end cooking techniques to deliver good quality food quickly at a good price,” Papapietro said. “It’s slow food meets fast food.”

Papapietro also plans to bring the design philosophy from his downtown location.

“We will find architectural characteristics of building that are original and do a design based on that,” he said. “We will embrace the history of the building and add something new.”

Kyle D’agostino will be the architect for the new space, and Appleseed Workshops will act as the contractor.

The Brick & Tin located on 20th Street North downtown celebrated its third anniversary in July.

Brick & Tin will be located at 2901 Cahaba Road. For more visit brickandtin.com.
