Best Tasting Menus in Birmingham

670 Grams

670 Grams operates from a two-floor unit inside Digbeth's Custard Factory, where graffiti-covered walls, a monochrome palette, and loud rap music set the context for Kray Treadwell's daily tasting menu. Seventeen-plus courses combine playful flavour contrasts with precise technique, earning consecutive Michelin Plates in 2024 and 2025. The wine list is compact and fruit-forward; the experience is deliberately not for everyone.

Adam's

1 Michelin star · Deep wine list

Adam's holds a Michelin star and an Opinionated About Dining Top Restaurants in Europe ranking (2024), placing it among Birmingham's most decorated fine-dining addresses. Tasting menus of five or seven courses anchor the format, with à la carte available alongside. The art deco–inflected dining room on Waterloo Street operates Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner, closed Monday and Sunday.

Albatross Death Cult

Deep wine list

Albatross Death Cult occupies a 14-seat counter inside a converted Jewellery Quarter canalside factory, serving a Japanese-inflected seafood tasting menu that earned a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025. From Alex Claridge, the chef behind nearby Wilderness, the format pairs pared-back, ingredient-led courses with sake, wine, and marine-themed cocktails in a setting that makes strangers talk to each other.

Asha's

Asha's on Newhall Street holds consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) and draws a consistently full room for cooking that spans the Indian subcontinent. Tandoori kebabs anchor an extensive menu, while the Muscat gosht, a recipe attributed to Asha Bhosle herself, illustrates the kitchen's ambition. At £££, it sits a tier below Birmingham's starred Indian option, Opheem, but above the city's mid-market crowd.

BALOCI

A Georgian townhouse on Highfield Road, Edgbaston, BALOCI brings an Indo-Persian menu to Birmingham's established fine-dining corridor. The cooking draws on Afghan, Turkish, and Balochistan traditions alongside Western technique, earning consecutive Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025. The tasting menu offers the fullest survey of the kitchen's range; the Sultani lamb chops are the à la carte anchor.

Carters of Moseley

Ranked #329 in Opinionated About Dining's 2024 European list and Highly Recommended among Europe's best new openings in 2023, Carters of Moseley sits in Birmingham's tightest tier of chef-driven Modern British cooking. Brad Carter's kitchen draws on the same instinct for produce-led restraint that defines the genre's most credible practitioners, framed by a wine approach that rewards closer attention than the room's neighbourhood character might first suggest.

Chakana

A Michelin Plate-recognised Peruvian restaurant in Moseley, Chakana brings Lima-trained technique to Birmingham's neighbourhood dining scene. Housed in a converted Lloyd's bank, the vault repurposed as a private dining room, it serves ceviches, tiraditos, and ambitious main plates alongside one of the UK's most extensive pisco collections. At the ££ price point, it sits comfortably among Birmingham's most serious casual-formal options.

Cuubo

Cuubo is a Kickstarter-funded Modern British bistro on Harborne High Street, holding the Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025. The small, stylish room runs a proudly seasonal menu where restraint does the heavy lifting, earning. For mid-range dining in Birmingham's suburbs, it sits above the neighbourhood average.

Folium

Deep wine list

In Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter, Folium operates as a two-person tasting menu restaurant where Ben Tesh cooks solo in an open kitchen and Lucy Hanlon runs front of house with evident warmth. The format is tight, the ambition is high, and the cooking earns Michelin Plate recognition for ingredients-led Modern British cuisine that consistently overdelivers at its price point.

Land

Inside Great Western Arcade, a Grade II-listed Victorian shopping gallery in Birmingham city centre, Land serves four- and six-course vegetarian and vegan tasting menus that draw a broad, loyal audience well beyond the plant-focused dining crowd. Holding a Michelin Plate and a place in the We're Smart Green Guide, it sits at the serious end of Birmingham's tasting-menu tier, priced at £££ and booking ahead is advisable.

Lasan

Lasan occupies a converted industrial space in Birmingham's St Paul's Square, serving refined Indian cooking that helped reshape how the city's dining scene approaches the subcontinent's culinary traditions. Positioned among Birmingham's more serious dinner destinations, it draws a crowd that treats the meal as an occasion. Check directly with the restaurant for current menus, hours, and booking availability.

Opheem

2 Michelin stars

Opheem holds two Michelin stars and a La Liste score of 84 points, placing it firmly among Britain's leading Indian restaurants. Chef Aktar Islam's multi-course menus at this Jewellery Quarter address work with British seasonal produce and precise spicing across five or ten courses. The team's coordination between kitchen, sommelier, and floor service defines the experience as much as the food itself.

Satori

A Michelin Plate-recognised Japanese restaurant in Moseley, Satori pulls a committed local crowd with a wide-ranging à la carte spanning sushi, sashimi, tempura, and robata grill cuts alongside a well-priced tasting menu.For Birmingham's south suburbs, it occupies a rare niche.

The Wilderness

1 Michelin star

On Warstone Lane in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter, The Wilderness runs a six- or nine-course tasting menu under Chef Alex Claridge that reads as a sustained argument for originality over convention. The all-black interior, pumping soundtrack, and a menu titled 'All Pleasure is Fleeting' signal a restaurant that earns Michelin Plate recognition while operating on its own terms. Wine pairings and creative non-alcoholic flights complete the picture.
