Where to eat in Birmingham.

Viceroy Tandoori

Birmingham is known for its Indian food scene, and if you want a proper sit-down curry, Viceroy Tandoori in the Jewellery Quarter is one I’d personally recommend. Good for a relaxed dinner, date night or visitors who want something that feels genuinely Birmingham. I’d recommend booking, especially if you are going on a weekend.

Peg & Grill

A good pick if you want Indian grills, curries and a filling dinner before heading out. It is within walking distance of Broad Street, so it works well if you want food first and drinks after.

Soho Tavern Hockley

Slightly outside the main city centre, but highly recommended if you are happy to travel a little. A strong choice for Indian grills, curries, drinks and a proper Birmingham-style food night. Parking can be limited nearby, so it is worth allowing a bit of extra time.

Marco Pierre White Steakhouse

A good choice if you want a more special dinner with skyline views over Birmingham. It sits at the top of The Cube near the Mailbox, so it works well for date nights, celebrations or visitors who want food and drinks somewhere memorable.

Adam’s Restaurant

If you want proper fine dining in Birmingham, Adam’s is one of the standout choices. It is a Michelin-starred restaurant in the city centre, best suited for a special occasion, celebration meal or a date night where you want something more memorable. I’d recommend booking ahead.

Medicine Bakery

A strong brunch pick if you are staying near New Street or starting the day in the city centre. Good for coffee, pastries, breakfast, a relaxed morning and somewhere that feels a bit more special than a standard chain café.

Alfred Works

A good Digbeth pick if you want casual food, drinks and a few different options in one place. It works well for groups because people can choose different food, and it is an easy starting point before heading out around Digbeth.

Pasta Di Piazza

A good Jewellery Quarter pick if you want a relaxed Italian dinner without it feeling too formal. It works well for couples, visitors staying nearby, or anyone who wants pasta, wine and a proper sit-down meal around St Paul’s Square.

Little Dessert Shop

A simple city-centre dessert option if you want waffles, cakes, milkshakes or something sweet after food. It is inside Bullring & Grand Central, so it works well if you are shopping, near New Street or want somewhere easy to find.

Turtle Bay Birmingham

A useful central option if you want casual food, cocktails and somewhere easy to find near New Street. It works well before drinks, after shopping, or when you want a lively but simple dinner spot close to the centre. Check the latest opening and food service times before going.

Café Soya

A good casual Chinatown pick if you want something filling, easy and good value. They do Vietnamese, Chinese and vegetarian dishes, so it works well if your group wants options without booking somewhere formal.

Cosy Club Brindleyplace

A good brunch pick if you want somewhere near the canals with a relaxed, slightly nicer feel. It works well for a slow morning, a casual date, coffee, brunch or food before a walk around Brindleyplace.

Vietnamese Street Kitchen

A good Bullring-area pick if you want something easy, casual and a bit more interesting than a standard shopping-centre meal. Useful if you are near New Street, Grand Central or Bullring and want proper food without travelling across the city.

Lucarelli

A good Mailbox pick if you want a slightly nicer dinner without going full fine dining. It works well for date nights, visitors staying nearby, or anyone who wants Italian food, drinks and a good-looking canalside area.
