Check out Albertine, the newest fine dining restaurant from James Beard nominated team behind Kindred. Look for cuisine inspired by the Mediterranean and the South.

When walking into the new elegantly designed Albertine restaurant on the first floor of Charlotte’s Duke Energy Plaza, it’s hard to imagine that before the creative and culinary masterminds got ahold of the space, it was simply a glass box with concrete pipes. Now, nestled in the heart of the city center near multiple museums, it’s very fitting that the fine dining restaurant named and designed as an homage to the city’s history feels almost like an art gallery itself. Katy and Joe Kindred, the couple behind Kindred, Hello, Sailor and Milkbread, didn’t originally have their sights set on uptown for a new concept. But after nearly two years, their vision of bringing a grand, upscale restaurant has come to life with their newest fine dining concept, which opened on Sunday, Sept. 22.
