Birmingham Restaurant Festival returns on August 1st-31st – showcasing a whole load of great restaurants across the city, along with their exclusive festival menus.
The festival is a celebration of the fantastic restaurants across Birmingham, and each year participating restaurants create an exclusive, great value, dinner menu, with some also offering a lunch menu. Throughout August, you’re invited to make reservations at as many venues as they please, to sample the special menus.
The menus vary in cost, offering a range of accessible, exclusive dining experiences. Some 13 restaurants will offer menus for under £20, including Isaac’s, Rosa’s Thai, Bundobust, Aluna, Bistro Pierre, The Alchemist, Indian Street Brewery, and Malmaison.
Among the 42 participating venues are some Birmingham greats, including:
- 670 Grams, the modern and eclectic restaurant, known for their creative tasting menus and unique flavour combinations. 670g comes recommended in the Michelin Guide.
- Lasan, which offers exquisite Indian dining and was the proud winner of Gordon Ramsay’s Best Local Restaurant in the UK and BBC’s ‘The Great British Menu’.
- The Oyster Club, the second restaurant in Birmingham by Michelin-starred chef Adam Stokes. The Oyster Club is listed in the Michelin Guide and is the recipient of 2 AA Rosettes.

Alex Nicholson-Evans, Founder & Director of Living For The Weekend, organiser of Birmingham Restaurant Festival as well as Birmingham Cocktail Weekend, said: “Birmingham Restaurant Festival is a fantastic celebration of the city’s dining scene and the list of participating restaurants showcases the incredible variety our city offers.”
“From Indian street food and independents serving the best of British produce, to contemporary Chinese cuisine and Michelin-starred restaurants, Birmingham Restaurant Festival truly captures the cultural diversity of the city and its culinary landscape. We’d encourage everyone to use the Festival as an excuse to try a restaurant they’ve never visited before and explore the city.”
