Eating out in Birmingham - Restaurants
| French Cuisine | ||
| Torc d'Or
27 Warstone Lane 0121 233 3655 |
A dining experience, this is the kind of small, exclusive restaurant where you could happily spend the entire evening. After selecting your meal over aperitifs, you move to a pleasant dining area, where both the service and cuisine show immense attention to diner and detail. A three-course meal for two, with drinks, will cost around £60.00, but you won't regret parting with a penny of it. | |
| Michelle's
Brasserie 69 High Street Harborne Birmingham B17 9NS 0121 426 4133 |
Michelle's Brasserie is a small, uncomplicated French restaurant on Harborne's main shopping street, open for lunches and dinner (or dinner and supper!) They offer an added incentive to early dining: clear your table early on and receive a 10% discount off your meal! | |
| The
Bay Tree Restaurant 27 Chad Square Edgbaston Birmingham 0121 455 6697 |
Strong emphasis on fish in the menu, which offers
English and Continental cuisine. Menu changes regularly. Lunchtime two-course menu for £9.95, with the Table d'Hote lunchtime and evening menu available from Tuesday to Friday at lunchtime and in the evening, £12.50 for two and £14.50 for three courses. |

| Traditional / English Cuisine | ||
| The Green Room
Hurst Street V: 0121 |
The Green Room is a strange contraption. It's a bit of a continental café bar type place, serving food, and beer, and strategically situated opposite Birmingham's Hippodrome Theatre. There are luvvie's nibbles to be had, but my top tip for a luncheon in town is to pop in, steering past Mr Egg (see below), and enjoying a half (they don't serve pints, pah!) of Stella to wash down their delicious toasted bagel served with caramelised onions and hummous. Mmmm. Best not to have if you are going out on the pull later on though. | |
| Italian Cuisine | ||
| Buonissimo
1 Albany Road V: 0121 426 2444 |
Buonissimo offer "fresh modern Italian
cuisine with a strong Mediterranean flair, using organic and free-range
produce wherever possible". Friendly, designed like the TARDIS to be much bigger than it appears from the outside, with a refreshing mix of traditional and novel starters and mains, this is to become my regular. Two courses and wine for two : £40.00 |
|
| Pizza Express Brindley Place Broad Street City Centre Birmingham B 0121 |
Pizza Express is hardly the pinnacle of haute cuisine, but if you are out for an evening on Broad Street, then the Pizza Express by the Canal is definitely a venue where you can relax, make lots of noise, drink and eat in pleasant surroundings, and if you bring the right crowd with you, this is a great place to have a party at the weekend. Only one disadvantage: they don't allow you to book a table. So best pop in, state your requirements, then retire to a bar nearby. |
