Chef Jeremy Fox to Reopen Birdie G’s at Fairmont Century Plaza

Jeremy Fox's Birdie G's will return in summer 2026 at the Fairmont Century Plaza resort. The move follows the Santa Monica closure and accompanies Fox's new project, Edna, in San Luis Obispo.

Fox, the starting chef of Rustic Canyon and author of cookbook On Vegetables, initially opened up Birdie G’s in Santa Monica in 2019 at the edge of Bergamot Terminal Arts. The dining establishment took its name from Fox’s daughter Birdie and grandmother Gladys. Its 2025 closure came amid continuous challenges for the restaurant with the 2023 writers’ strike, the Eaton and Palisades fires, and a drop in tourist in Santa Monica.

Birdie G’s will revive as an all day dining establishment, offering morning meal through supper for resort guests and regional diners alike. The dining establishment will certainly additionally include a weekend break breakfast of steaks, pastas, and seasonal veggies, and offer alcoholic drinks as well as beer and white wine.

A Midwestern Jewish-Inspired Revival

Jeremy Fox’s cherished Santa Monica dining establishment, Birdie G’s, will return to life at the Fairmont Century Plaza resort in Century City. The Midwestern and Jewish– inspired restaurant, which closed at the end of 2025, is set to resume at the resort in summer season 2026. Lumière, the Fairmont’s current restaurant, will certainly close at the end of March to give way for Birdie G’s.

Alongside the resuming of Birdie G’s, Fox will additionally collaborate with San Luis Obispo’s Edna, a forthcoming dining establishment, distillery, market, and cafe, as a companion and cooking supervisor. Matthew Schaler, Birdie G’s former executive cook, joins Fox at Edna, which will certainly open up in phases starting this springtime.
