Swish city centre restaurant Opus is offering a great deal for lobster fans. On Fridays and Saturdays during August guests can enjoy a two course lobster lunch for just £27.50. If you can go on a Tuesday it’s just £17.50 – yes, really. I took myself to Opus this week for some self care (BYB…
Following its reopening earlier this month, Harborne Kitchen has added a small plates offering for guests to enjoy. Available in the bar area, guests can enjoy multiple snack plates alongside carefully curated cocktails and an extensive wine list. The selection of dishes available is considered, including some old favourites from the tasting menu including chicken…

After your snacks and home baked bread selection you’ll enjoy dishes such as line caught cod with cauliflower, sea leeks, apple and butter bean cassoulet. This menu…
* Complementary meal Despite the weather being anything but summery at the start of August I was looking forward to trying the latest lunch menu at Maribel. Even though I needed an umbrella to get there. Truth be told this was my first visit to the Brindleyplace restaurant. I’d heard somewhat mixed reviews when it…
When Colmore Food Festival returns in July visitors are in for a treat, if the menu sneak peek is to be believed. As I told you in April, this popular free festival is due to return to Victoria Square 5-6th July, with over 30 Colmore based traders offering dishes and drinks. And we now know…
Behind the almost opaque white drapes that separate the beating heart of Folium from the streets of the Jewellery Quarter, something rather beautiful is happening. Food critics from national newspapers have raved about it, locals love it, and as of late 2018 the big boys at Michelin have recommended it. One could say that Folium…
There are few restaurants in Birmingham as beautiful as the two opened by Aktar Islam on Summer Row. With its glowing bar and unique natural aesthetic, Legna especially – to me at least – is stunning. Having initially stepped through the doors back in December, my return visit to this Italian restaurant In February was…
Having recently been awarded three AA Rosettes, there’s no doubt The Wilderness is now getting national attention as well as local these days. I hadn’t made it back to the restaurant since Alex and co upped sticks and moved to the Jewellery Quarter, but this changed a few weeks ago when my husband and I…
Elegant, vibrant food in an unpretentious and relaxed setting – what a joy Harborne Kitchen is. I’ve started this post numerous times now, and still don’t really feeling like I’m doing this place justice. Suffice to say, a few weeks ago I possibly had the best lunch I’ve ever had; a meal packed with colour,…
Way back at the start of January (which seems about 9503 years ago) I popped a post up about some of the local independent restaurant deals that could be found in Brum during the most financially naff month of the year. One of those deals was at Opus, Cornwall Street. The last time I visited this place…
I keep thinking I’m having a really boring, quiet month considering I was out more than the cat in January, but actually I’ve been having a jolly lovely time. With it being a bit warmer (I sound like my mum) I’ve been taking my laptop out to work remotely a fair bit, as well as…
Most people go on some kind of ‘detox’ after Christmas – I personally hate dry January (and staying in for more than 2 days) so I’ve been quite busy already this month. I ran a poll over on my Instagram a few weeks ago to see whether or not you guys like these roundups –…
