The Spot
Spice by CMB brings modern Afro-Caribbean-inspired cooking to Avondale, blending classic technique with contemporary, seasonal dishes rooted in bold flavor and vibrant spice. The kitchen has also built a reputation for Southern comfort food, giving the menu room to move between traditions.

The beverage program matches that range: spirit-forward cocktails layered with tropical fruit, citrus, and global spice, a wine list spanning Italy, South Africa, Mexico, and Uruguay, plus zero-proof options and local craft beer. Sunday brunch has become a weekly draw for the neighborhood, served in a dining room designed for celebration and hospitality.

The Infatuation gave Spice by CMB an 8.5/10, and regulars have come to know it for chef-driven cooking and attentive service as much as for its brunch.
