Rustic Table in Birmingham

Why have we not we been here before? Hard to believe we have this hidden gem on our doorstep. We had a wonderful experience with gorgeous food, a really nice Italian red wine and perfect service, friendly, attentive and not pretentious and overbearing. We will DEFINITIVELY come back again and really encourage everybody else to do the same to make sure this place stay on the high street for many years to come.

Lovely little restaurant with friendly staff and most importantly a good choice of gluten free tapas. Delicious food and good price. Definitely recommend

First time here and will definitely be returning. Superb food and service.

excellent place , great vibe and food

A stunning cozy restaurant, its dishes are very well made. Everything we had tasted amazing. But what really stands out is the hosting and service. The owner is an award winning cocktail maker and knows everything about cocktails/drinks. He’s also super friendly and will happily help you with choosing a cocktail based on your likings. He even made a mocktail for our son, who absolutely loved being treated like a special guest and not just a kid. So thank you!!!

First time going here, booked it at the last minute for a birthday treat. Food was lovely, staff were lovely and very helpful explaining how the menu worked and what to order. It’s a tapas style menu so each portion looks small, as with every other tapas you order several different dishes to share. We all enjoyed it, even my fussy teenage daughter. The meatballs and stuffed cabbage were favourites along with the potatas bravas. The bill was £174 for 4 people but when you consider that included 3 beers, 4 cocktails and 2 soft drinks as well as food, it’s quite reasonable. A lovely place.

Came here for Mother’s Day. Service was great! We had a few sharing plates and all the food was lovely. Had a really good variety of vegan / vegetarian options.

Jerry was an amazing waitress and was so warm and social. The food was amazing also. Would definitely come again. Keep that spirit going Jerry you made the experience an awesome one.

Increíble restaurante - la comida es absolutamente excelente y los cócteles son los mejores en Harborne por una milla. El personal es atento, amable y bien informado y una experiencia gastronómica completa 10 / 10. Mi ÚNICA crítica sería por favor bajar las luces un poco, ¡haría toda la diferencia para esta joya absoluta de un lugar!

It was my first time here, the staff were super friendly, food was amazing. I defo recommend the sirloin bites they were 10/10.

La comida aquí era increíble y el servicio también. Cada plato fue servido a la perfección y se nota que está recién hecho. Ojalá tuviera más espacio para probar más platos pero tendré que esperar hasta mi próxima visita.

Fui con mi mamá amiga después de vivir en Harborne por más de 10 años y no visitar este restaurante. Estamos malcriados para el gran restaurante local y he pasado por alto erróneamente Rustic Table. La comida era deliciosa. Tienen una gran variedad de tapas reales... no solo comida islandesa congelada para fiestas como muchas otras tapas que reclaman restaurantes. ¡Podría haberme comido todo dos veces! Los cócteles son los mejores que he probado. Su atención al detalle es de primera clase. Generalmente no soy un fan de los cócteles, como sobre las bebidas dulces poco interesantes. ¡He cambiado! Eran increíbles hasta el punto de que elegí un cóctel estilo postre en lugar de un postre real y literalmente lamí el vaso limpio! Su selección de vinos es fabulosa. Tenía un rojo portugués que era oscuro espeso y liso. Me encanta el vino portugués y está menos disponible. El elemento más impresionante fue el servicio brillante por parte de todos en el restaurante. Aseguraron que cada interacción fuera individual y te hicieron sentir especial. También tuvimos un tiro libre descarado al final de la comida. No puedo esperar a volver. Ahora es mi restaurante favorito en Harborne y solo quiero dar las gracias al equipo de Rustic Table!

One of my favourite food venues in Harborne. The Rustic table serving exceptionally flavourful tapas!I love the fact that they do seasonal menu changes as well!Definitely my type food! The chef, definitely knows the flavour palette! The service is very welcoming and efficient. The cocktail list is very versatile and Alex’s mixologist knowledge is incredible. The cocktails taste five star!! The atmosphere is very cozy and Mediterranean! Always great vibes !Highly recommending The Rustic table!!!Try it out now!🙂

THIS PLACE HAS STOLEN OUR HEARTS ♥️ Rustic Table is a welcoming, wholesome, family run tapas restaurant serving tasty small plates and cocktails dreams are made of! Save this to your 'MUST VISIT' list because if you don't you are missing out. The menu features the perfect mix of tapas classic such as Spanish chicken & chorizo stew and croquetas, as well as dishes with a modern twist like their duck breast with morello cherry and red wine jus. WE ADORED THIS DISH! We enjoyed a gorgeous bottle of wine and obvious we had to have some cocktails. There's timeless classics and some really creative original recipes. If you like dessert style cocktails you're in for a treat. We love a whisky and enjoyed a delicately smoked Old Fashioned. They have a selection of woods to choose from for your smoke which we just LOVED. The little touches and the careful thought that has gone into both the drinks and food menu really reflect the passion of the team and make a big difference. We are heading back in a few weeks and can't wait to try the arancini and fabada. Get yourself booked in asap

Reservamos una cena aquí con tres de mis amigos, nos reunimos ocasionalmente para comer y beber. Trabajamos localmente y elegimos Rustic Table como tapas de lujo. Todos estábamos realmente impresionados. El restaurante es pequeño y amable, el personal es encantador - la señora que nos atendió incluso nos mostró un poco de lenguaje de signos que sabía (uno de mis amigos con nosotros es sordo y utiliza BSL para comunicarse). Pequeño gesto pero bienvenido. La comida era increíble, pedimos 3 tazones cada uno, que era justo. El pulpo y el cordero kofta... ¡Todavía estoy pensando en eso ahora! Deliciosa. Volveremos a reservar con usted cuando nos reunamos en primavera. ¡Quizá esta vez cojamos el tren para probar los cócteles!

Found myself in Birmingham for a conference and googled vegan friendly restaurants. So glad this came up, food was incredible, loved it all, and the welcome, atmosphere and service equally excellent.

Nice relaxing, romantic atmosphere. Food was phenomenal and so soulful. Cocktails were not just your average premix they are made with an extensive knowledge of flavour and style. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back.

Alex had lovely service all the food and drinks were spectacular really lovely restaurant would definitely come again

Lovely tapas selection. Managed to get a table at the last minute by ringing up!

Estaba buscando una comida rápida con mi hijo en Uni en Birmingham después de un día antes de regresar a Londres. Las críticas sobre este restaurante parecían buenas y el menú adecuado. Llegamos temprano que nunca iba a ser un problema, los propietarios son cálidos y amables, restaurante bien equipado sin ser fastuoso. La elección fue buena y se permitió para los vegetarianos, pescados y consumidores de carne por igual. Con tinaja que se añade al costo anunciado y luego el servicio es empuja al lado caro para un restaurante que pondría en el agradable para un bocado de publicidad - libelo una noche en lugar de ocasión especial. Nuestra factura total para 2 adultos era de £ 75 con solo 1 bebida. En general absolutamente volvería como comida excelente, bien presentado y cantidad sensata.

Great food for a fair price and a lovely Spanish vibe.

Un gran lugar. Maravillosa comida, ambiente encantador / decoración y un servicio personalizado excepcional. Sin duda volveremos. Gracias por una gran noche.

Hay un ambiente agradablemente relajado cuando entras en la mesa rústica por primera vez, y una sensación muy rústica sobre las mesas y los asientos. La carta de bebidas es amplia, la selección de vinos sensatamente medio-rango en precio, los cócteles muy tentadores. Una fiesta de seis, la conversación alrededor del menú estaba inclinada hacia la cantidad de platos que necesitábamos por persona - ciertamente no faltaron opciones Entre el stand, destacaban los arancini de berenjena, las exuberantes croquetas, un hummus maravillosamente ahumado, la tremenda piruleta de pollo y el vientre de cerdo. El único plato que se queda corto es un pil pil de gambas mal cocidas. Pero hay una discusión, y son las escasas porciones de los precios. Dos pequeñas croquetas de chorizo por £ 6. 50 ? Una mísera ración de la sabrosa ensalada de higo y halloumi por £ 7. 50 ? Las patatas bravas resultaron ser el tazón menos generoso de todos. Es un clima cuando menos desafiante para los restaurantes, así que entiendo el dilema. Pero me fui sintiéndome un poco corto - cambiado. En cuanto al postre, no hay reparos en los grandes, esponjosos y deliciosos churros. Los brownies también eran excelentes, cubiertos con una cucharada de helado de stracciatella. En general, realmente espero que este lugar prospere. La cocina, el ambiente y el personal amable lo hacen destacar en una calle concurrida.

The food at Rustic Table is truly exceptional. Service is excellent and staff friendly, polite and professional. Good value as well. It’s become one of our two favourite eateries in Harborne. Will definitely return again soon.An excellent evening. Thank you.

Stunning food. Incredible service. Quality drinks. We sat at the bar and had the most wonderful experience. We were amazed by the cocktail craft and attention to detail from each of the team members. The host especially was happy to talk through their drinks selection, tailoring to Your tastes. 10/10 would recommend and will be returning very soon. Thank you!

This is a brilliant little restaurant in Harborne High Street. I chose it for my wife's birthday dinner and we were not disappointed. The standard of service was 5 star and the food was absolutely delicious. Thoroughly recommended.

Fabulous evening! It was our third time at Rustic table but our first time for dinner (previous lunch and cocktails only). The service was brilliant, the food and cocktails perfect and the atmosphere was exactly what we wanted. Would absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone!

I’m pleased that this restaurant seems to be doing well. For us, the setting wasn’t the best; we were very close to the bar which was well-populated with drinkers who took up a lot of space and were really quite loud. OK, fine with people enjoying themselves (and the cocktails are good) but we needed more space. We ordered several of the tapas plates. For the most part, the food was fine, though the portion size was inconsistent. For e.g. the octopus was a vanishingly small portion disguised with a ton of rocket. Most others were fine. I enjoyed the sticky belly pork and the chicken lollipops (the fries were good, too), but thought that the arancini were rather dry (and the accompanying sauce had set on the plate). Overall, pleasant enough, but I think we chose the place poorly, based on our preferences.

Great service. very good food and the place is so relaxed it just complements the first 2. Had a number of Tapas dishes which were delicious and we recommend the place definitely. To top the experience my partner had a Old Fashioned served with a cherry smoked glass. The preparation itself was worth the monies and the drink was as smooth as Lenny Kravitz.

Good food, reasonable prices. Quick service

First visit last week on recommendation from a colleague - will certainly be back. I’m a bit of a fussy eater so was a bit worried however food was cooked to absolute perfection and was all delicious. Very friendly and attentive staff.

Wonderful service, tapas was delicious. Plenty of options without the menu being overwhelming. Lots of nice sounding cocktails too. Waitress was very attentive and provided all info for my friend who has lots of allergies. Lovely complimentary glass of fizz for my friends birthday too which i thought was very kind. Will defo be returning.

Lovely local restaurant in Harborne serving excellent tapas and nice cocktails

Alex was an amazing host, excellent food. Will be returning

When you visit this place make sure you have lasagna, it tastes amazing.

Delicious food, friendly waiting staff. I love tapas and this didn’t disappoint. The churros are a must! I could have easily eaten double the quantity. So crispy, warm and light -absolutely stunning. We also had the lamb koftas, the patas bravas, croquettes, olives (amazing), cooked greek onions, prawns, fish cakes all were good, with a healthy helping of bread to dip into the delicious sauces. The chicken was ok, but again the sauce it was cooked in was sublime. My only comment is the prices are a little hefty for the amount you get per dish. I would still come back to this place though.

What an absolutely stunning meal! We really rated that there was a great selection of veggie and vegan options with some dishes that we hadn't tried before. Everything we tried was so fresh and delicious, but our favourite dishes were the Croquetas, Salantourmasi, Mango & Feta Salad and Lamb Koftas... Although the Churros stole the show, and were the nicest Churros we think we've ever eaten!!! The Sangria was absolutely delicious. When the karafe arrived I thought it would be too much but I quite happily glugged it down with my meal - refreshing and boozy, the perfect combination! The restaurant has a welcoming and cosy vibes, which we loved. Alex and Peter were such pros, you can tell they have been in the restaurant industry for a long time with their effortless hospitality and attention to detail! We really enjoyed our meal here and would happily return to try more of the menu, which rotates as the seasons change. And also for the Churros... They are worth driving to another city for alone!!!

Popped in on spec on a Saturday lunchtime, whilst I reminisced about living in Brum and Harborne in particular back in the 80s and 90s when taking my teenage son to the University Open Day. Quiet inside with just a few other tables taken but great host and excellent tapas, followed by some fantastically fresh churros to share. Outside afterwards my son said “that was truly 5 out of 5 excellent”. Can’t say fairer than that!

Great food, great drink and Alex is a wonderful host but bad influence! Don't get him started on his whiskeys, you may not make it into work the next day.

Lovely night, welcoming, service super. Delicious cocktails. Nice fresh food . Well prepared see you soon x

Love the variety of these fresh dishes . Delicious cocktails . Lovely atmosphere. Great service. We'll be back. Happy to recommend

Stunning Gem of a place. Great food, great Cocktails and great service. First time here, definitely won’t be the last

A friend suggested we go here for cocktails then move on to another place but we ended up staying all night. The atmosphere is perfect....music in the background but not too loud you can chat, cocktails are endless and you can even ask the bartender for something off menu or a surprise....very talented man Alex!!! Alex's brother is the chef and the quality of the food plus presentation is first class. I highly recommend

Wow!! Visited today with my partner for tapas. Every single dish was delicious. Transported to the Mediterranean. Cocktails were sublime… and the crème brûlée desert was the best I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a few). Please give this place a go.

Great tapas place. Great flavours and choice. Highly recommended. Been twice now. Still just as good.

Absolute hidden gem 👌🏼 amazing food and hospitality.

Great tapas place. Have the beef steak. Definitely worth it!

Friendly staff. Food is delicious.

Great evening with my other half, amazing food, great cocktails too. Best White Russian my partner has had in a long time. Will be back soon!

Visited twice in one week. That’s how good it is! Food, service, ambience - excellent. Nice, varied tapas menu - so hard not to over order. Want it all! Save room for the churros. Sooooo good!

We love the Rustic Table. The cocktails and food are fantastic. We really enjoy many of the menu items but particularly the Arancini and Churros! We love just going for drinks too which are outstanding, and always end up staying for more than we should. It's all got that homemade quality and with excellent service and value. It's the easiest 5 stars we have given. Thanks for the great times.

Really enjoyed a date night to this tapas restaurant on the high street! The food was great, all top quality and the staff were friendly and attentive. We will definitely be returning!

Lovely food great choice well worth a visit

Lovely food and great service, would definitely recommend

Best place ever. Most delicious food

Visited rustic table again, had a lovely dinner!

Plenty of wine and food. Food hot and freshly cook. Friendly staff and easy to talk too. Even leant abit of a new language. A great night.

The food was really fresh and had lots of flavour. The drinks were really nice and service was amazing and so quick. Really good night

Had such a lovely meal here . I’ve been before and definitely didn’t disappoint this time which was a pre theatre dinner trip . Would certainly recommend for a fabulous Tapas dinner .

Lovely lunch here. Alex, the proprietor, could not have been more welcoming, and his enthusiasm for good food and service is evident. His brother is the chef, and we ate a delicious selection of the tapas, followed by dessert. Everything was excellent, but I particularly recommend the mushroom croquettes, the fried haloumi and for dessert, both the creme brûlée and the tiramisu were delicious. Will definitely be going back

Couldn’t fault the food or the service (nor the shots of limoncello at the end of our meal!) :)

Wow just eaten lunch and it was incredible, every tapas dish was very flavoursome and delicious and the cocktails were unreal. The service was exceptional and I would highly recommend. Great afternoon

Fantastic birthday celebrations were held here and the food was brilliant as always. Alex, Pete and the team looked after us extremely well, the evening could not have been better. I totally recommend visiting and enjoying an evening here

Such a great evening at Rustic Table, the team there could not have looked after us better if they tried. The food was superb and kept on coming. The drinks experience was great, loved the smoked whisky! Thank you so much for a fabulous night.

Amazing food and cocktails. Staff are so friendly and attentive without being over you shoulder. Cant recommend this highly enough. We had a fab night.

Had the most amazing time tonight....great food, great atmosphere and great service. True lil gem in Harborne and will be supporting. Can't wait for my nxt dining!

Little gem in the heart of Harborne ! Big variety of tapas . We tried ribeye bites (which was amazing), mushroom arancini, chorizo croquetas, patatas braves and churros . Everything was great. I did really enjoy my margarita too. In the end with the bill they brought us to chocolate bites and 2 shots of limoncello that was a lovely gesture 😊I would definitely visit again. This place made me feel very cosy !

Fantastic service, Delicious food and great atmosphere. Pudding cocktail are to die for! Xxx

Great food, excellent service and atmosphere.

Beautiful intimate venue with delicious high-quality Mediterranean food. The staff were helpful, friendly and prompt with service. Would thoroughly recommend - Rustic Table gives you the feeling of being on holiday (relaxed and surrounded by good food) without venturing too far

Hidden gem in the heart of Harborne

Alex was amazing right from booking to saying hi and making me a cocktail From request! Amazing service amazing staff, will definitely be coming back again. Mr & Mrs Sidhu xx

Best write this review before I lapse into a wonderful food coma Popped in on the off-chance and the friendly manager welcomed us to a table. The menu had delicious choices for meat and non meat eaters After demolishing rustic bread, lamb kofts, prawn curios, cod croquettes, 4 veg 4 ways. Cocktails followed by chorros desserts. After eating at many Birmingham tapas this is by far my favourite. This is a lovely little restaurant where booking is highly recommended Asta la vista gracias.

We came for my mum’s birthday and we couldn’t have had a better time!! Alex was an excellent host, and went above and beyond for us. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful! Hidden gem on Harborne High Street. Please come and check it out you won’t be disappointed!

Food was delicious and the service was excellent. Great tapas. The prawn churros were amazing. The whole family really enjoyed every bite.

Unusual, cozy, great music ans staff, very tasty food and a huge choice of coctails

We loved it! Special, fresh food, great music and staff. Christmas atmosphere is magic. Will definitely come again.

Beautiful decor, gorgeous cocktails, wonderful food and very friendly staff; what more can I say? Fab evening!!

GLUTEN FREE - VEGETARIAN TAPAS The Rustic Kitchen, situated on Harbourne High Street, is a cosy tapas restaurant. The menu has many tapas dishes you might expect to find, combined with new and interesting seasonal dishes to try! The restaurant is lovely inside, clean, and the service is very good. The menu is well thought out with many gluten free dishes, vegetarian and vegan dishes, and importantly for me, gluten free + vegetarian dishes! Don't worry there are plenty of meat options too, my husband especially enjoyed the steak. I will say the portions are small, as you expect with tapas, but even so, smaller than expected in relation to the price. It's definitely a case of quality over quantity, so no complaints from me. Every morsel was delicious and it was obvious a lot of care had been taken in the preparation and cooking. The service was very good, the order was taken promptly, the food didn't take too long, and after requesting the bill, we were happily on our way home in no time at all. We will definitely visit again! It was a very pleasant experience and I would certainly recommend visiting. My favourite dishes were the 4 veg, 4 ways winter edition and the Blood orange and fennel salad.

Fantastic food & atmosphere. Really lovely selection of tapas with good vegetarian options. A warm welcome & tasteful surroundings . We look forward to returning.

We came back here Recently for the 3rd time to celebrate my dad's 93rd Birthday. We also celebrated his 91st birthday. He loves Tapas!! We had a really wonderful evening. Alex gave us such a lovely warm welcome, like we were old friends. The food as always was delicious, with some yummy new dishes on the menu. Alex makes you feel very special on every visit. It's our go to restaurant, every time we visit from the South of England. The Whisky selection is amazing. We can't wait to go back to see Alex and his lovely team very soon. You have to give it a try very soon.

Had a wonderful night here, usually I am not a fan of Tapas but this was Tapas done to perfection! The food was delicious, decent portion sizes and reasonably priced. The service was prompt and Alex was so lovely he really welcomed us and really...

Fantastic food and service. Would definitely recommend 👌

Very nice food, lovely staff, and good atmosphere. Would quite happily say this is one of, if not the best, tapas in Birmingham (and I've been to a few!). Will deffo be back 🙂

Amazing food and wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend the Rustic Table. Tapas menu was varied and really tasty. Front of house was welcoming and engaging, cocktails were amazing.

I wanted a nice venue for a 40th birthday lunch and enquired at the Rustic Table on the off chance as I knew they weren’t usually open in the day time on weekends. Alex and the team were so welcoming and flexible - they said they’d be happy to do a private function and the only condition was a (very reasonable) minimum spend. The food was delicious and I can’t fault the service or communication. I would highly recommend for both a meal and a venue for a private function.

Really lovely food & great service…. It’s a beautiful little gem in the heart of Harborne, me & my friend loved it & will definitely be back! Thank you 😊

A fantastic spot for meals of any occasion. Exceptional by every metric. Best dinner experience I've had since moving to Birmingham.

Incredible host, super creative, best cocktails I have ever had!

Great food and amazing cocktails My favourite place in harborne (and independent) Food is consistently good, which keeps us coming back!

Amazing experience, great quality food! Service was perfect! Definitely coming back. Found our new local!

Really nice selection of dishes for veggies and meat eaters alike. Nice cocktails. Good service and good atmosphere

I was here celebrating my 71st birthday and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute! The staff were welcoming and friendly. This was my first visit but a return visit for my accompanying son and daughter-in-law and I definitely will return. The food and cocktails were superb, especially my Raffaello cocktail - my favourite sweet in a drink! What more could I ask for? My chocolate brownie was still hot when served and was topped with a golden birthday candle! We ended the evening with a complimentary liqueur. We will return!!

Had a great evening here last night. Cocktails and excellent food served with a smile. We will definitely be visiting again

Another really nice evening at Rustic Table. A good selection of dishes friendly services and relaxed atmosphere. Look forward to returning as we love tapas!

If you're looking for a place with nice food, lovely atmosphere and wonderful people, look no further! Alex was really friendly and polite and prepares amazing cocktails. The sweet potato fries were just to die for!

Our favourite place to go in Birmingham, especially when it's hot and all you want is light food.
