A tiny Beltline gem with fewer than 30 seats and a kitchen the size of a walk-in closet, Von Der Fels (VDF) has been deservedly lauded for its well-curated wine selection and ever-changing and imaginative menu. Over the past year, owner Will Trow and the VDF team reinvented the restaurant for takeout, with chef de cuisine Douglas King seizing the opportunity to deviate from his usual sophisticated small plates and cook up exciting new takeout fare each week. Last year, when VDF returned to dine-in service following the first pandemic-imposed shutdown period, the team launched an impressive new Von Der Cocktail program to complement the carefully curated wine list. These delicious handcrafted cocktails are creative and fun, yet perfectly balanced with that unique Von Der twist.
