Birmingham Restaurant Festival is set to return from 1 to 31 August for its fourth year and has today revealed a preview list sharing the first restaurants set to take part.
Each year Birmingham Restaurant Festival takes over the city, giving foodies exclusive menus to enjoy for incredible value throughout the month. With a variety of lunch and dinner menus on offer, diners can make as many reservations as they like to experience the very best food and drink that Birmingham’s restaurants have to offer.
Among the first venues announced are four of the restaurants voted by festival-goers as having the best menus during Birmingham Restaurant Festival 2024:
670 Grams, by Michelin-trained Kray Treadwell, who curates innovative and exciting tasting menus using the best local produce
Lasan, the Indian fine-dining restaurant serving iconic dishes with a contemporary twist
Trentina, a neighbourhood gem serving up freshly-made pasta, seasonal antipasti and more
Bistro at Hotel Du Vin, the much-loved bistro serving classic French dishes with a contemporary twist
The city-wide celebration will shine a light on Birmingham’s vibrant culinary scene and melting pot of cultures, through the carefully-curated line-up of restaurants located in the city and surrounding suburbs.
In the city centre, participating restaurants include Orelle, the fine-dining restaurant located 24 floors above the city, Bombay-inspired favourite Dishoom, modern Chinese restaurant Tattu, contemporary Indian restaurant and celebrity haunt Asha’s and the newly re-located home of bao buns and rice bowls, Tiger Bites Pig.
Over in the Jewellery Quarter, restaurants such as Michelin Good Food Guide listed, Spanish-inspired Txikiteo, popular music and dining venue The Jam House and Victorian public house The Church Pub & Dining Room, are taking part.
Diners can also head to Edgbaston to enjoy an Argentinian barbecue feast at Fiesta Del Asado, or the best of British produce at Chapter.
Other restaurants on the line-up include Primitivo Restaurant & Bar, The Alchemist, Gaucho, Zindiya, Milan Indian Cuisine, Bhancha Nepalese & Indian Restaurant, Chaophraya, Chung Ying Cantonese, Zocala, Malmaison Bar & Grill, The Woods, Aluna Cocktail Bar & Pan Asian Restaurant, Siamais, Lulu Wild, Inju and Saint Pauls House.
The final restaurant line-up and exclusive Festival menus will be revealed closer to the event.
Alex Nicholson-Evans, Founder & Director of Living For The Weekend, organisers of Birmingham Restaurant Festival, said: “I’m so excited that Birmingham Restaurant Festival is back to showcase the very best of our city’s culinary scene for a fourth year. We’re revealing our biggest preview list to date and it’s amazing to see so many fantastic restaurants lined up to take part.
“There are plenty more still to come and we can’t wait to share those with foodies from Birmingham and beyond in the coming months.”
While some restaurants may have the capacity for walk-ins, to guarantee access to the exclusive festival menus, diners must book in advance. Diners do not need to purchase a ticket or wristband.
Menus will go live, and reservations will open on 19 June. To make a booking during Birmingham Restaurant Festival, diners need to visit birminghamrestaurantfestival.co.uk , and follow the directions given on the individual restaurant pages, to ensure the Festival menu is available on the desired day.
