My partner and I attended on a Saturday evening to celebrate her upcoming birthday. My partner is Gluten Free, and Harborne Kitchen went out of their way to accommodate that dietary requirement. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we stepped in. We were greeted by all the staff and even the chefs all said allow as we walked by the pass to our seat. We both went for the tasting menu. And I had the wine pairing. The food was exceptional. Beautifully presented, and each plate was introduced to us by one of the chefs. There are one or two reviews on here complaining about portion size. I think the problem here is common with a taster menu. Especially the Malloreddus. That dish was so good. I wanted to get a big big bowl of it, change into my fat pants, sit on my sofa, and scoff the lot. We were both waddling out of the restaurant after, so there are no complaints from us about portion size. My only criticism is the tomato course, which is literally a slice of tomato with a couple of onions chucked on. Served with a little bit of stock. I can't understand why it is on a taster menu at a fine dining restaurant. The decor was nice. The atmosphere was very pleasant. Good vibes all round. And we appreciated the birthday wishes with a chocolate treat. Thank you, Harborne Kitchen. We will definitely be back soon 😋

Stormy Saturday solo stopover for the full tasting menu and what a treat. Relaxed atmosphere, warm welcome, keen service and accompanying chef’s chorus. Crab arancini, beetroot tartlet and toasted brioche with aged cheddar and crisp chicken skin set the bar. Delicious herring roe was followed by last taste of summer with the Westland’s tomato, lardo and ponzu with crispy capers. Malloreddus (Sardinian gnochetti) was an umami taste hit of truffle and aged Parmesan. Orkney scallop in butter cream and nasturtium oil hit another high, only to be outdone by the Herefordshire sirloin with roasted onion, hen of the woods and beef cheek. Puddings capped it all with bay leaf ice cream, burnt apple and cinnamon crumb followed by Bearwood honey parfait. Happily off into a thunder shower.

Been dining here since it opened in 2016. Just come back from my wife’s birthday dinner and I have to say that this place has shown absolutely no signs of a dip in quality, in fact it just gets better and better. All 11 courses were incredible and Jacob’s wine pairing is totally spot on to the dishes served. The white chocolate with Yuzu is outstanding to finish, but from start to finish the food/wine was just of the highest standard with absolutely banging flavours. Add in a fantastic atmosphere with a great vibe, the place was full of interesting people being served to the best of standards. Best restaurant in Brum by miles, get yourself down to Harborne and see what you have been missing out on.

We had the Taster menu and were delighted. The imagination and creativity that were used to titillate the palate were astonishing. From crab arancini appetisers to succulent scallops the taste buds were astounded. Service was discreet and charming and the ambience of the restaurant casual and easy going. We will return. If I have a criticism it is that my knife to cut my beef was not sharp enough and tore the meat and my final sweet was sized out of kilter with the other courses. But, I only include those latter remarks to be helpful and they in no way detracted from the wonderful cuisine.

Party of four (one with a wide range of food requirements) with both classic and wine pairing on the 5 for £55 menu. From first arrival with friendly host, we enjoyed great cocktails from bar manager, Josh. Professionally prepared and presented. Rhubarb Fizz was particularly refreshing. We then enjoyed every course delivered with multiple wines presented with nice, personal details provided by General Manager and Sommelier, Jacob. Guest with food needs were fully catered for without any fuss. Food from Head Chef, Tom and the whole team was incredibly tasty, beautifully presented. Had a wonderful evening. Not our first visit but they seem to raise the bar each time. Highly recommended.

Very nice restaurant serving upscale British cuisine. We went there during the week so it was rather quiet, which we actually prefer. The restaurant has a nice bar in the front of the house, where you can enjoy a range of interesting and imaginative cocktails, but they serve classics too. The restaurant part is at the back and you pass an open plan kitchen with bar seats as well, where you can see all the master preparation, it's really interesting! There are normal tables as well obviously, further back. We had a tasting menu with wine pairing. I really enjoyed the finger food that comes before the main menu, but all dishes were great. Some interesting matches, but also some surprisingly simple dishes like a pasta with butter, truffle and cheese, were absolutely delicious, and nicely paired with the wine. You can taste the quality of ingredients, and masterful preparation just completes the dish. The service is impeccable, friendly and knowledgeable. The sommelier was particularly good, clearly knowing his trade, but also very approachable and nice to talk to. The whole menu comes to about 8 or 9 dishes, so it's a lot, and we struggled a bit to finish it all! The experience was very good and I can definitely recommend it.

The team are very consistent and are working at a very high level The service is very good particularly the restaurant manager who is attentive but discrete. It's also incredible value for what you're getting. They don't even have a service charge for small tables so please make sure you tip .It's on par with the very best in Birmingham.

Brilliant restaurant. Some amazing courses that are clearly well through out. Quality table side service, same server throughout and leaving the course list is a nice touch. Some of the course bring specialist cutlery and this adds a nice change of pace to the menu. The vegan tasting menu, for my partner, was genuinely better than any of the michellin restaurants have offered us, none of the generic "celeriac steak" or "mashed sweede and caramelised onions" that is so common for her. All I want to say is to keep to your guns. Leave the course menu on the table, keep one server per table and keep enjoying the food you're making because it's honestly delicious. Oh, and keep the deconstructed rhubarb crumble with custard icecream; truly the cherry onthe top of this restrant. If i had to sum it up I'd say: book your table now before they get their first star, and their waiting list goes up by 8 months and doubles in price. Everyone working here should be proud. Will be back soon!

We booked a few weeks in advance and for a Saturday night could only get an 1800 hrs table – always a good sign. The signature tasting menu revealed a chef who produces well balanced, tasty dishes without resorting to the deployment of weapons grade chillis and spices. Which was the best dish? – we enjoyed them all. As well as the outstanding cookery we were impressed with the friendly staff, our waiter’s detailed knowledge of the ingredients and the cooking techniques of each dish. The timing of the service of the food and wine pairing was precision personified. The Classic Wine Pairing (the cheaper of the two options) was the best that I can remember. A memorable evening – how have they avoided a Michelin star?

From being greeted at the door to an end-of-meal cocktail at the bar, I had an exceptional evening. Service was swift and staff were attentive and informative. The cocktail was delicious and prepared/served professionally by Josh. The set menu contained so many courses, all of which were outstanding with some old favourites and new stars on show. The care and skill of chef Tom and the team showed in each course. When broken down by course, the price tag of £100 seemed cheap for food of this quality. Fine wine pairings by Jake enhanced each course and each one came with details that helped to understand both the wine and the pairing. No stuffiness or wine snobbery here (as I've found with other establishments). It's not been my first visit and won't be my last, despite it being 4hrs away from home.

Well. What a lovely time we had! From walking in, it was wonderful. Every member of staff we encountered was welcoming, warm, kind, attentive, friendly and beautifully human. It looked and sounded like they were happy too, which is important! We were given a great table and then enjoyed the 5 for 55 (one with wine flight and one vegan) which was sufficiently filling. The Aged Cheddar & Walnut was stupendous, then.....so was everything else. Everything. We've enjoyed many tasting menus in many countries over the years, and this ranks with the best. Beautifully created and presented, delicious food. My vegan dishes were inventive and full of taste. We'd echo all the positive words said on earlier reviews, and very much look forward to our next visit.

Visited on a Saturday lunchtime and it had a nice relaxing buzz about the place. The restaurant itself is modern and from where we sat had a great view of the kitchen so we could hear all the activity involved in the presentation which I personally enjoy. We had the 5 for £55 with my wife having the vegetarian version and I have to say it was excellent - some great creations such as the Sourdough with Sweetcorn but my favourite was the main Braised Ox Cheek with Salt Baked Mash - which I suppose is as if should be! The Classic Wine Pairing worked well and perfectly complemented each dish. Service was excellent with each dish and wine being clearly described. I really enjoyed my visit to Harborne Kitchen & have no hesitation in recommending - we will be visiting again

Wowzers trousers. I cannot tell you how good this was. So we booked for a Thursday evening, celebrating a child free break. We opted for the 10 course meal, chefs table, with the wine flight. From the moment of arrival, the staff were incredible - lots of banter, SO much knowledge, and a warm, relaxed vibe. Then the food - wow! How this place doesn’t have a star, I’ll never know! Everything was perfection, and served beautifully. The chefs table was an amazing view point - all were beautifully timed, but also full of smiles and fun. Highlights for us were the trout tartlet, beef tartare, cod, and duck 👌🏻. The wine paired beautifully. (Special mention for the cherry wine) Overall, Niamh was a standout for service( I’ll take your faves to the grave) alongside Jacob for wine and running of such a smooth service, chef Tom for the food - and everyone else we encountered along our delicious ride. Thank you! We loved it! And we’ve eaten at some starred places multiple times….. you guys topped it. Husband ranks this as the best meal/food experience of his life.

As a family, we have always enjoyed coming to Harborne Kitchen as a treat since it opened. This time, I went with my partner to celebrate my birthday. We had the full tasting menu with classic wine flight and the food was delicious as always, with a great selection of wine from the sommelier. The staff were great at judging when we were ready to move on and we didn't feel rushed or slowed at all. On one course we enjoyed the wine and drank half before the food came and they noticed and topped up the glass which was lovely. As someone who used to work in hospitality, it was a joy to visit and be served by everyone at Harborne Kitchen, and I would recommend to anyone looking to have a lovely meal in Birmingham.

So glad glad we gave this place a try, it doesn’t have a Michelin star yet, but if they continue they way they are going it won’t be long. We had the ten course sample menu with the wine pairings.

Our visit was long overdue, as it was a Christmas gift for last year . We booked early for the Tasting menu, which I would highly recommend, it was like being in a TV show . We watched the skill & precision of the food being prepared. The speed in which the kitchen found its pace was fabulous to watch everyone remained calm & professional. The food did not disappoint on any level. I thought we might leave hungry , as the portions look small. But think about it, it’s called a ‘taster’ menu. Hungry at the end we were not . Our taste buds were truly alive . Team Tom & Team HK. Along with the waiting staff. You did a great job .

Once seated we were presented with the menu options, from which we chose the 5 course menu. Each and every course was fantastic, with ingredients that I wouldn't dream of putting together. Chicken liver parfait with white chocolate and strawberry, absolutely stunning. Don't expect your visit to be quick, as you have lots of time to enjoy the food and drinks. We spent just over 3 hours in the restaurant for 5 courses. I would highly recommend a visit, we loved it and will be back.

Very rarely would I consider a meal worthy of the title of 'best I have ever eaten' but after experiencing the exquisite taster menu offered by the harbourne kitchen I now have a firm candidate for that coveted spot. A restaurant offering such a flawless dining experience as this is surely deserving of the Michelin stars it is currently missing but will inevitably be awarded.

Whilst we were getting the tasting menu, they were able to cater for not just allergies but also personal dislikes wit food, so everyone got something they were able to enjoy and participate in the experience. The wine pairings were also phenomenal, and again, those who had a different course got a different wine to go with it.

Cracking experience. Harborne High Street wouldn't feel the same without this lovely restaurant. As a local, every time I walk past I'm transported back to wonderful staff and food wizardry. It was a beautifully casual and relaxed fine-dining experience. We sat at the bar around the small open kitchen. One of my personal favourite ways to eat in top class restaurants, as the artistry and science behind crafting beautiful food is magical. You see all the ingredients coming together with care, attention to detail and creativity. The waiting staff were very attentive, with lots of information to share about the restaurant's ethos and larder. Personally, I love any restaurant that takes pride in aiming to show off native British ecology and keeps the menu shifting seasonally with sustainable cuisine. The chefs clearly enjoy what they do, too. And the food spoke for itself. It was rich, comforting, homely fine dining, with some plays on family and childhood favourites alongside some more complex, adult flavours. We'll definitely be returning, sooner than later for some drinks and snacks at the bar.

Another amazing meal at Harborne Kitchen. We celebrated our 10year wedding anniversary in July so went all out with the full tasting menu. Incredible food and service. We love the food and restaurant. The Smoked Mash is one of the best things I've ever tasted.

We had the full tasting menu and absolutely loved the whole experience. Every course was delicious and offered something a bit different. It is clear that time and effort has gone into creating the menu. The drinks were also fantastic, including probably the best and most unique cocktail I have ever had, and there was plenty of choice so should be something for everyone. The courses were spread out over several hours and we definitely felt satisfied by the end, without being too full. The restaurant had a good atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful, offering plenty of information about the food and wine. The approach to the service was high quality, whilst also being relaxed. HK had been recommended to us by several friends and we were not disappointed. We would definitely recommend to others and hope to go back ourselves as well. 10/10 and thanks to the chefs and front of house staff for a very enjoyable evening!

In answer to your apology and the cleaning and dustpan and brush incident. I would suggest you take a look at the FOOD. It was absolutely disgusting! You should be apologising for standard of the poor food served. The chips were definitely re cooked and the quality poor overall. Please dont answer this with another lame apology.........

What an incredible gastronomical experience! Each course was absolutely delicious, even the amuse bouche was so incredible I didn’t want it to end. Often with a tasting menu, I am disappointed because each course looks pretty, but the taste is often lacking. That is absolutely not the case at Harborne Kitchen. Unexpected taste sensations in each mouthful. The staff provided the best customer service I have experienced in over a decade. Polite, quick, professional. The only area that needs improvement is the mocktails. Great atmosphere in the restaurant. A Wednesday night was buzzing like a Saturday night. We’ll be back!

Wow. What can I say about this amazing restaurant. I found HK on Instagram and have been wanting to try for a while, I came this evening for the 5 for £55 tasting menu and it was sublime. From exceptional service to outstanding food. Often with tasting menus you will leave hungry however not at HK. They accommodated dietary requirements without any hesitation. I had a phone call earlier in the day just to confirm our reservation and requirements and I didn’t realise my friend couldn’t have gluten so we only told HK once seated and it wasn’t a problem at all- first class service. Each course was beautiful presented and explained what it was. Highly recommend visiting, much better than some of the local Michelin star restaurants I have visited. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you HK for a fabulous evening.

Fantastic restaurant, on the Michelin guide for a reason. We had the 8 course “chosen” taster menu and every dish was incredible. Excellent vegetarian option also available and recommend the classic wine pairing too. Service was all very polite and friendly and a lovely environment. Even has a special extra dessert for birthday celebrations.

We had great 5 for 55 meals here. Of course it's expensive but I couldn't fault anything. Staff were attentive but not overbearing. Seeing the chefs in the kitchen was great and was nice to be able to say thank you to them

This is an excellent restaurant. Unfortunately, my wife was taken ill partly through our meal and we wanted firstly to thank the staff for their response. They were very kind and helpful. We had had the amuse bouche and first 3 courses of our "5 for 55" meals, which were all very good: strong and well enjoyable flavours, apart from the asparagus & mushrooms which was a bit bland for me. The wine flight was interesting and well matched wines. The staff were all very friendly and professional and made the whole experience a pleasure. One of the best neighbourhood restaurants. Highly recommended.

A perfect evening from start to finish. The service was friendly and attentive without being overwhelming. Each course of the 5 for £55 menu was delicious and perfectly presented. The wine pairings were clearly chosen for their excellent quality and complemented each course. The atmosphere was so relaxed - we thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back again soon!

Hay opciones vegetarianas. pero lo ponen todo en platos pequeños, la gente no tiene suficiente. Cuando compras mucho, se garantiza que la cuenta no será demasiado. Pero la porción de todo es pequeña. Cambie los tamaños de las porciones. Aparte de eso, el precio de la cuenta es bastante bueno. sabor delicioso. Gracias. Me gusta. El servicio fue bueno, son muy amables. El pedido llega rápido. Un buen lugar para explorar para la cena, recomendado. Estoy seguro de que a los visitantes les gustará mucho.

Food, service atmosphere was all superb. The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive (but not overly attentive). We sampled the tasting menu which was amazing and granted, not every course is to everyone’s liking but a great chance for a few surprises. All in all a perfect night. Thank you!

I just wanted to say thank you to Harborne Kitchen for the wonderful experience my mum and I had last weekend. I have been to HK a number of times and have always loved the food. On my last visit, I noticed they had a number of tables with various allergies, so I decided to book a table for my mum and I. My mum has been coeliac and followed a gluten-free diet for years, and has never really got to experience 'fine dining' due to the lack of flexibility from most restaurants. She absolutely loved the entire experience - she felt reassured from the offset that her allergy was being taken seriously. They had printed off a menu titled 'Gluten Free' and only one course was different to my own lunch. The bread course with the chicken liver parfait was her highlight. She said it was the best bread she'd had in her 25 years of being GF. Thank you Harborne Kitchen - we'll be back :)

Our 1st visit to HK as a family to celebrate our lad’s birthday. What a great choice. A relatively quiet evening but the opportunity to be seated at the Chef’s Counter to eat was too good to turn down. We opted for the rather extensive 11 Course Taster Menu which @ £100 p.p. is not cheap (nothing special is nowadays) but when you watch the preparation & detail that goes into the presentation of each dish, carefully overseen by the Head Chef, then no complaints. As for the individual courses our favourites were: Chalk Stream Trout + Hollandaise + Herring’s Roe Fillet of Cod + Wild Mushrooms + Sea Herbs Wye Valley Rhubarb. I’m afraid though that the Aroma (read Pong) of the Baron Bigod Dish was a little over powered for our liking. Really appreciated the attentive / friendly/ knowledgeable waiting ladies & the efficiency/ cleanliness/ attention to detail of the chefs in the kitchen. A really enjoyable evening & glad that HK is not on our doorstep or we’d be bankrupt 😀. A final observation would be the amount of time that all the Chefs (Head Chef incl.) put into cleaning & preparing what was a spotless kitchen already for the next days service. Hats Off to you all . Thanks for a super evening.

We have been to Harborne kitchen tonight for an 11 course taster menu, it was absolutely wonderful. Nice atmosphere, relaxed and amazing food. We were looked after by Ben who has only been working there 3 weeks, we were shocked by that as he made our night with his wonderful conversation and relaxed approach, definitely an asset to the restaurant. The food, what can I say, taste sensation for all 11 dishes, The Ox was my favourite 😍 I like that you can see all the hustle and bustle in the kitchen too which runs impeccably smooth. Thank you to everyone for a wonderful birthday meal for my husband, it was our first time there but definitely won't be the last. Sarah xx

Folium is a fantastic restaurant. We visited on a Saturday night, trying the long tasting menu with wine pairings. The food was amazing, with great care, thought, cooking and presentation of fabulous seasonal ingredients. Each dish is carefully explained in a friendly informal manner, with excellent wine pairings. This is my first experience of a tasting menu and it blowed me away, trying things I wouldn’t normally have. And I left feeling very full and satisfied. Particular highlights were the savoury custard with chicken broth, homemade malt loaf and beautiful turbot. It’s an unfussy but classy restaurant with great service and atmosphere. Go. A Michelin star must be on the horizon.
