A Peek At The Birdie: ALX's Coming Chicken Joint Popping Up At Del Ray Farmer's Market

ALEXANDRIA, VA – The curious and hungry can get a sneak peek at a restaurant opening in Alexandria this summer at the Del Ray Farmers’ Market in May.

Little Birdie, the sister restaurant to Matt and Tony’s, will be making an appearance at the Del Ray Farmer’s Market on May 30, with a chicken sandwich, chicken satay, a yogurt bowl and green goddess asparagus on the menu. (A previously planned market pop-up was postponed due to weather and rescheduled to the current date.)

The coming restaurant’s website says it will celebrate chicken with ingredients that are locally sourced and change with the season. Its menu highlights birds on milk bread buns, plus salads, down-home sides like deviled eggs and pickled cucumbers, plus caviar and tuna tartar, for diners who want their tendies elevated.

Little Birdie’s sister restaurant, Matt and Tony’s, was recently nominated for Alexandria’s best brunch of the year, and at the beginning of the year, made Yelp’s list of the best 100 restaurants in the country.

The restaurant is expected to open in June. Find them at the market this month at 203 East Oxford Ave.
