Embarking on a culinary adventure in the heart of Uptown Charlotte, the dynamic duo Joe and Katy Kindred, creators of the beloved Kindred restaurant in Davidson, are set to unveil not one but two tantalizing additions to their gastronomic empire. The towering 40-story Duke Energy Plaza on South Tryon will soon play host to Albertine, a fine-dining haven serving up modern Mediterranean delights, and the third installment of the ever-popular Milkbread, an all-day café.


Scheduled to make their grand debut in 2024, both establishments promise a culinary experience. Albertine, named after Queen Charlotte's mother, is poised to elevate taste buds with its exquisite offerings. Meanwhile, the new Milk Bread will be a haven for cafe classics, featuring irresistible milk bread doughnuts, bespoke espresso crafted with HEX Coffee, flavorful chicken sandwiches, nourishing bowls, and crisp salads.


Having earned a stellar reputation since its inception in 2015, Kindred has consistently been hailed as one of the area's premier dining destinations. The Kindreds, known for their innovative culinary creations, have been expanding their culinary footprint year after year, each venture becoming a sensation in its own right.

The culinary maestro Joe Kindred, a five-time James Beard Award semifinalist, will spearhead the culinary team and curate the tantalizing menu at Albertine. Meanwhile, Katy Kindred will weave her magic, overseeing the overall concept, service, and design to ensure patrons have an unparalleled dining experience. Get ready, Charlotte, for a feast of epic proportions awaits in the dazzling heights of Duke Energy Plaza. milkbread.com
