There’s a lot to like about The Edwardian Tearooms at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. Most notably the button that summons the champagne fairy. Often overlooked, this cafe is mainly used by museum visitors but there’s plenty to draw non-visitors to the beautiful space hidden beyond the gift shop and all its loot. Located on…
If you’re looking for healthier lunch alternatives this month (and beyond) you may be interested to know Salad Box has launched in Birmingham. Based up on Great Charles Street, the franchise made its way to Brum at the end of last year. Ideal for healthy lunches on the go, through January the shop will also…
If you enjoy eating like a caveman but want to feel a bit fancy, you probably need to pay Fazenda a visit. Situated next to Gaucho (you can eat other things than beef around Colmore Row, I promise) this Brazilian restaurant aims to give you the full rodizio experience in the heart of the city….
Good day, fellow food lovers. Today I have a quick round up post for you regarding how I spent my birthday week – or more specifically what I gobbled and guzzled during it. If you follow my social channels you’ll have seen me oversharing much of the below, but I was asked a few questions…
Living a few minutes walk from it, my main gripe with Brindleyplace remains its reliance on chain restaurants to please the masses. Of course there’s a few independents and small chains knocking about, but largely the busy square houses chains churning out boring, mediocre meals – usually with a permanent discount voucher attached to it….
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 –…
I think I may have finally found the dream hangover lunch in Birmingham. I say that because upon my first visit to All Greek Streetfood I ate something I’ve not had in such similar form since an 18-30s holiday in Malia – a Greek souvlaki wrap stuffed with chips. The last time I ate such…
Calling all meat fans: Brazilian bar and grill Fazenda has opened on Colmore Row – and it’s actually pretty good. The fifth restaurant in the UK under this brand to open, this is an all you can eat experience akin to Rodizio Rico at The Cube and the ill-fated Viva Brazil, which opened and closed…
Today’s post is a quick look at Tuck in Tuesdays at The Stable, where for £10 you get a pizza, salad and a drink. I’ve talked about this John Bright Street staple before, having enjoyed Sunday pints and both the pizzas and the pies. The venue is large with the kitchen and bar sitting side…
I recently found myself moseying along the canals in between meetings, hungry and with an hour to kill. Jumping off the towpath around Gas Street, I spotted the familiar white washed walls of The Pickled Piglet. It’s somewhere I’ve trundled past many times with good intentions of visiting, but until one recent overcast afternoon I’d…
Hands up who overspent at Christmas and is now far from flush this month.. yup, I hear you. January is notoriously crappy for most people and a slow one for restaurants and bars, but to combat this many places across the city centre are offering substantial discounts and deals this month. You get a cheaper…
Saturday lunch @ Bar Estilo, Mailbox I spent most of the period between Christmas and New Year eating fudge for breakfast and saying, ‘what day is?’ repeatedly to Ian; this continued until we went back to work earlier this week. By the time we met up for lunch with our friends, Lauren and James, not…
Recently I’ve been grabbing more and more lunches on the go, and a few weeks ago came across Hookway’s in The Minories. I hadn’t heard of the salad and sandwich bar until my pal Fay visited and told me all about it, but it’s such a good find I wanted to share it myself. Hookway’s…
I have a well documented love affair with Malmaison, and having discovered my foodie friend Fay (try saying that with your mouthful) hadn’t tried the delectable Sunday Brunch the place is so hyped for I immediately booked us a table. The three course feast at Chez Mal starts with soup and access to the Chef’s…
