Last week ended up being super greedy busy, so I thought I’d put together some of my food and drink highlights. I started the week with a quick mooch around the newly opened Baked in Brick, which of course included a spot of lunch. The full pizza menu doesn’t run during the day so I […]
A few weeks ago The Husband treated me to a Sunday packed full of food and drink. As part of my birthday celebrations, Ian planned a whole day of fun in the city centre; of course this mainly involved eating and booze. We had such a good time that I thought I’d share some of […]
Recently I spent an evening at Rico Libre in Digbeth with some good friends. We laughed and gossiped, ate far too much and polished off a decent amount of wine for four women who all had work the next day. The coming together of friends over food is one of the reasons I enjoy tapas […]
I only meant to pop in for a quick pre-cinema pint, the first time I visited The Bull’s Head. Things didn’t really go to plan and I left 4 hours later full of posh gin and 30 (or so) quid lighter. Story of my life, that. Since that soaking wet winter night, The Husband and […]
Before flying off to Rome for my birthday (sorry not sorry) I had a gorgeous lunch at El Borracho de Oro with some friends and family. The Edgbaston restaurant is somewhere I’ve enjoyed tapas before, and more recently I scoffed a lot of owner Emma’s grub at 1000 Trades, where she had a successful pop […]
I must admit was a bit baffled when I heard Revolución de Cuba was opening up right opposite Las Iguanas on Temple Street. Why would a Cuban-inspired bar and restaurant want to set up camp literally 5 metres away from a venue offering something so similar? Two chains going to war: be interesting to see […]
The last time I visited The Shakespeare Inn I was 2am smashed at lunchtime. From what I remembered, most of the other people in there were too, so I didn’t roll up to my latest visit expecting an awful lot. That says much more about me than The Shakespeare Inn, I realise. My recent experience of […]
The Husband and I recently visited Don Diego in Edgbaston for the first time, for a double date with fellow food lover George and her fiancé, Dave. I had actually been meaning to try the food at Don Diego for a while, having seen some lovely looking dishes flying around on social media. I can […]
It was sort of bittersweet that I ended up losing my Itihaas virginity on the same day a spicy soup exploded in my (expensive, suede) work handbag. I arrived at the restaurant with a faint whiff of cumin about me (it’s always mildly disconcerting when a restaurant’s waiting area smells fresher than you) and had […]
There is something rather wonderful happening at Laghi’s Deli, a family run restaurant that popped up opposite Park Regis Hotel last year. Despite being situated about one red wine stumble away from Five Ways roundabout, Laghi’s Deli is a pretty addition to Brum’s food scene that has been quietly making a name for itself over the […]
