Simpsons Restaurant in Birmingham

Simpsons is a Birmingham institution. It's always been good but it's just got a lot better. Went for lunch for my wife's birthday. We have been before all be it not since lockdown. The food drinks and service were all outstanding it's definitely upped it's game. A must visit. This restaurant is outstanding 👏

An amazing lunch at Simpsons in Edgbaston - superb food, delicious cocktails and the staff were lovely and made us feel so welcome. Thanks again to everyone.

Outstanding in every way. Staff are super friendly, the food is sublime and the wine pairings are thought out and make sense. Andrea is a legend. Jacamo and Will add a depth to the experience that helps make the Simpsons experience unique. This is the most underrated 1 star in the UK. Knocks spots off its local competition. Amazing restaurant

Eureka Cookery Class We came here for the Saturday cookery class. 9am - Tea and coffee together before we started, a quick tour of the restaurant and kitchen then upstairs to watch the chef dispatch the biggest lobster ever seen then watch him cook it. We cut off a chicken legs and wings and removed the wish bone then watched the chef cook it and prepare the jus. We rolled out pasta made by the chef to make lobster ravioli using the prepared lobster mix in a piping bag given from the chef. We watched berries and apple be prepared and then used a piping bag of frangipane to fill out pre-made tarts. The recipe guide will come in useful at home as a reminder of specifics such as the temperature to keep chicken extremely juicy. 1pm and we were enjoying champagne, beef tartare, cheese tart and fish bite together before our meal. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and the three wines were delicious as was our meal of lobster ravioli, chicken and apple puree and frangipani tart with cream. It was lovely to spend 6 hrs with 5 strangers talking about everything and anything. Pros: 1 Michelin star restaurant with delicious food and amazing knowledge. Definitely a unique experience. Cons: you spend a long time watching the chef doing the prep and cooking and not much hands on (understandable with the time constraints).

My son held his wedding reception at Simpsons on a Saturday evening in an exclusive room large enough for a party of 15 guests. The presentation of the room, plating and cutlery was excellent. Service was excellent with all courses arriving together for all the guests. We had four children as guests, and the restaurant provided super options for them. Pre meal breads and canopies were superb as you would expect. This restaurant is certainly an experience for anyone either familiar with fine dining or those who wish to experience the desire.

We had a wonderful experience with the 7 course tasting menu! Steve provided excellent and attentive service, we really felt looked after and would recommend Simpsons for a very special meal experience.

Absolutely gorgeous 5 course tasting lunch with wine flight today. All dishes beautifully presented & so delicious. Wine pairing was wonderful & the sommelier was excellent! So very informative & passionate without being at all condescending as I find some can be in Michelin restaurants. Service was great. Beautiful gardens to have a drink in the sunshine after lunch. Would have liked a tablecloth but you can’t have it all 😊 Will be back & can thoroughly recommend.

I have been eating at Simpsons for over 20 years and today’s lunch was the best meal I have had there. Absolutely superb, food, service all outstanding.

A really good experience for something special although VERY expensive.

Wow, is simply what needs to be said about Simpsons. A real showstopper in Birmingham. My partner and I went for our anniversary meal and the welcome, and the service were enough to know that we'd booked the right place. Gorgeous building, beautifully decorated (very understated from the front). Now the food.... a three course meal of extravagant standard. Rich flavours, beautifully presented and left feeling more than satisfied. Thanks to all at Simpsons for making our first visit to you a memorable one!!

Again this a wow restaurant in every way set in a beautiful garden service 5 star by the great friendly Freddie made us laugh very good at his job the food is outstanding why we have been often and loved it all very tasty and looks like art on a plate

Had a great meal yesterday at Simpsons in Birmingham. Beautiful setting and stunning gardens to overlook or have a pre lunch cocktail in weather permitting . Lobster ravioli was stunning packed full of flavour . Also the sirloin beef pave was delicious a great addition to the Sunday menu 👍🏼 The raspberry soufflé was also superb . Watching all the soufflés go out they all looked perfect definitely a dessert I would recommend. Warm welcoming staff very professional without being overbearing , I can’t wait to return . 🤩

If you're looking for something that's extra special, Simpsons restaurant is where you need to go. We celebrated my wife's 30th and mother-in-law's 60th. The food out of this world and the staff were so attentive, kind and funny. It made the whole experience worth 10 times as much. We had the seven coast tasting menu and wine course to compliment. Each course was unique and so well put together. We were all genuinely excited to see what was coming next. A truly wonderful experience and I couldn't recommend it enough.

The Simpsons Restaurant is a delightful dining spot with a charming venue and great location. Having visited a few times, I can say this place offers a first class experience. The atmosphere is both elegant and welcoming, making it perfect for any occasion. The attention to detail is evident everywhere, from the clean facilities to the polished utensils. The food is outstanding, showcasing the best of British cuisine with high quality ingredients. While the prices are on the higher side, the exceptional food and overall experience make it worth it. The desserts are exquisite, offering a perfect blend of flavors and textures that make each bite a perfect end to the meal. The staff are attentive and professional, adding to the restaurant's perfection. Even the restrooms are immaculate, reflecting their high standards. In short, The Simpsons Restaurant is a place where great food and excellent service come together. It's a spot I would happily visit daily, knowing each meal would be fantastic. A very Rare 5 star rating from me.

Food was lovely and varied, but sadly 3/4 of my party strongly dislike beetroot so that course was disappointing. Staff were kind, welcoming and informative. Some of the clientele needed a dress code, this affected the overall feel of the experience. Not sure if the establishment can really enforce a dress code though.

We have known about Simpsons reputation for years, but never managed to find a table. We made a concerted effort to book for my wife’s birthday and it was so good. We had the 7 course taster menu, which was absolutely delicious. We also took the wine pairing, swapping any red for white, none of which was a problem for the sommelier. The service was so friendly and welcoming, right from the start. All members of staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful right from our arrival and we will totally go back. Class, quality and a really lovely environment to enjoy high end food.

Located just outside Solihull, this beautiful restaurant is almost a 'blink and you miss it' type place. Parking area can only accommodate about 7 or so cars but there is a pay and display across the street. There is a surprising garden area when you go into the restaurant and some of the flowers are used within the dishes. The service is as you'd expect from a Michelin Star restaurant, being very attentive and meticulous. The food was exceptional, with some truly memorable dishes (especially the Beetroot dish and the Passion fruit Souffle). There was some clever usage of cutlery in the souffle dish, as the texture of the spoon gave texture to the dessert. Well worth a visit if want to treat yourself.

Excellent food and service, we had the 8 course tasting menu , it was fabulous. Only thing I disliked was the discretionary tip of 12.5 percent which works out at nearly 40 pounds. They removed this at my request, but questioned me if I was unhappy with the service, I said no , service was great. I always leave a reasonable tip , but not 40 pounds.

Late Sunday lunch Outstanding beautiful dining room superb service fantastic food and wine highly recommended

Not worth it. I have been to a few other one star Michelin restaurants in Birmingham, much better than Simpsons. To me it’s only an average fine dining place.

Wonderful modern restaurant with first class food. Friendly professional staff. All my courses were presented beautifully and cooked to a high standard.

AMAZING 👏 Chef Luke and team really smashed it, a wonderful meal celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary ❤️

Great experience, we will repeat

Amazing experience for a special anniversary.

Very nice. Pleasant but not spectacular. Not the best Michelin star in Birmingham but a decent evening

We had the plant based tasting menu. Overall it was nice. The presentation of the food and service was flawless. However, for a couple of the courses the flavours felt a bit tame and underwhelming. There are so many options available when it comes to plant based ingredients, but if you limit yourself to solely using homegrown U.K. veg, then it can be quite difficult to surface truly inspiring flavours. The pre-dinner snacks and bread were really nice. Plus I really enjoyed the raspberry cheesecake dessert. It’s inspiring to see restaurants like Simpsons spearheading plant based cuisine at the Michelin star level. We will be back to try it again for sure.

The plant based (vegan) tasting menu was incredible. We had the 8 courses and each dish was beautifully presented and exquisite. We saw the meat and fish tasting menu and 3 of the 8 dishes were exactly the same as the plant based which just confirmed that the plant based food was central to the restaurants food, not an afterthought. If you are looking for a vegan fine dining experience this is a must go to.

Had the tasting menu. Had the 7 course tasting menu and each dish was amazing . Favourite was lobster ravioli - definitely wanted more !! Great atmosphere and service fantastic. Reasonably priced.

I have been visiting this restaurant on occasion for the past twenty years. I have happy memories of some of my visits, One of my best meals ever was when I came with some vegetarian friends and we had the vegetarian tasting menu. However, this last visit was less successful. When I arrived I was really pleased to see the beautiful modern glass chandeliers. I had forgotten how beautiful they were. I was with a friend celebrating a big birthday. The restaurant made an appropriate celebration for her. Thank you. Our cocktails were memorable as were the canapes served with them. It was worth the effort of coming here just for them. Both my friend and I are vegetarian and we had the vegetarian menu but there was limited choice so as a result I ate things I would usually avoid on a menu elsewhere. The dessert was rhubarb. It looked spectacular bur rhubarb is rhubarb and there is not much to like about it. It might look good but school dinners comes to mind The atmosphere was Spartan. The lime green wall reminded me of a kitchen table I had in 1968 and did nothing to enhance the beautiful glass wall lights. There was nothing warm and cosy about the seating arrangement. Come here and try this restaurant for yourself. It has a lot of good things going for it.

The food was okay , nothing mind blowing and a bit dated to be honest. I’ve had better experiences here in the past and just feel that the staff were really moody .

Best restaurant I’ve ever been to, take all my tings there, would recommend it to anyone.

A family favourite so we have come many times over the years however we were expecting a lunch menu but got a tiny bites tasting menu which was not that amazing. The standout dish was the beetroot - exquisitely produced in a variety of ways including as a sorbet. Service was good as always but the young lady who described the dishes was very difficult to understand/hear as her diction was very unclear.

Delicious lunch,special mention for the salmon and the pork

Amazing tasting menu - go on treat yourselves - you know you serve an unbelievable experience with fabulous service and incredibly good food - so privileged to be able to have such a talented group of chefs and staff 5 star plus

One of the loveliest 1 Star Restaurants in the UK. Amazing food served by fantastic waiting staff and set in a beautiful house with outdoor dining. Been here a dozen times now over the years and it never disappoints and always exceeds expectations. Great value and an enviable wine and cigar menu. Go. Enjoy.

Incredible food, service and ambience. Simpsons never fails to impress

A very special treat for me and my partner for a late Christmas dinner. We could not find anything to fault, everything was just stunning and the service was second to none- absolutely INCREDIBLE

Food was amazing, very expensive a once in a lifetime experience.

Superb food and wonderful service, this is a great restaurant for a special treat. It’s very expensive, but it’s worth it. My wife and I are both pescatarian and my wife is also allergic to beetroot, and I have this commented on my Open Table account, but Simpsons take that and go the extra mile presenting a bespoke menu for my wife. That’s very considerate and shows great care and attention to service. We had a tasting menu which took about two-and-a-half hours to eat, and it’s incredible how quickly the time went.

Effortlessly brilliant. Great food, attentive service. Very welcoming. Doesn't seem to be a dress code - we saw people in jeans and t-shirt and suits and all were made welcome.

Have always wanted to have a meal here and it was every bit as good as I hoped. We were met and taken to a comfortable sitting room where excellent tasting snacks were provided. In the main restaurant we had the 7-course tasting menu and it was a delight. Will definitely return.

It's a taste explosion experience, really recommend!!

Relaxed atmosphere with wonderful, helpful and thoughtful staff. The food was sublime. I don't know why it has taken us so long to go there.

Glorious and sublime food … but … felt the ambiance today just not quite ‘there’ - one service member we found quite surly and cold in approach and wine got forgotten about despite ordering. We missed having pristine table linen as in covering and the room just felt a little cold and soulless. You don’t go to a Michelin starred restaurant and not expect to pay handsomely however I concur with other contributors who have reviewed in that it’s actually getting way too pricey … lovely Christmas treat for myself and my family though and we enjoyed ourselves - just didn’t get the wow factor with the experience as a whole ….

Started off very badly, service was terrible No bread to start, no cutlery on table for our first course. Having to ask for the cutlery. Food was great, service was terrible. £500 for 2 of us and just was not as good as when we dined here in 2020. Dont think I'll be returning.

£75+12.5% mandatory service charge = £83 for 3 course lunch, with two choices for each course. One starter was beetroot: one was cod. For these prices I expect something more interesting. Food was good. Service friendly. No atmosphere at all. I won’t be returning.

Exceptional food, wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed an amazing birthday lunch at Simpson’s celebrating my wife’s birthday. Everything from the food to the service was top class. We will definitely be back soon.

Love the food, the great attentive staff, just a special place to be.

Went to Simpsons to celebrate my husband's birthday and had made them aware of this too. The food was brilliant but felt let down that the occasion was not recognised at all. A small birthday cake as a token would have been lovely. We also went for a meal here 2 years ago for my husband's birtgday and I felt the staff had been better and more attentive in the past and had acknowledged his birthday with a small dessert, which at £130 per person for the meal is not too much to ask!

This visit was a surprise Birthday present. And what an amazing surprise!!! The atmosphere intimate and classy.. The staff professional informative and friendly. Credit to the young ladies who make you feel special and Welcome.. Thank you. The Food. I can't describe the taste. The flavour The presentation. Unbelievable.. I would advise all to experience this extravagansa of flavours and culinary delights, all presented with style and pernash.. Worth every penny and more. You must visit this restaurant. You will not be disappointed..

Good evening, We have just visited your restaurant this evening and felt compelled to inform you of the excellent service we received during our meal. The meal was fantastic and our preferences were accommodated without question. I have to congratulate the kitchen staff as the food was first class - the ‘nibbles’ were fantastic and the cod was my favourite dish and I don’t even like fish! A special shout out to the waiting staff that made our evening , Harriet very friendly and attentive as was Jessica , josh and Sara were the perfect hosts. Lastly was Freddie;friendly ,great fun and engaging a true asset to your team! I wanted to share this positive experience as far to often these day people only share the negatives and tonight there was none. Truly a birthday to remember. So thank you all

3rd visit to Simpson and we are never disappointed. Service attentive without being too fussy, and quality of food exceptional. Altogether a special experience.

Been many times. About a year since the last visit. The food was was very good as usual. I enjoyed the quail and the cod looked really appetising. The service wasn't as polished as usual. It was quite busy being a Friday night. The dishes came out quite quick, normally little more gaps between courses. Felt a little rushed. Overall another fine visit.

This remains one of my favourite restaurants in the UK. The core is superb ingredients, expertly cooked, and served with skill. They are not trying too hard. The house and dining rooms are gorgeous. The staff are knowledgeable, professional and attentive. Oh, and friendly. I’ve become disillusioned by much more expensive restaurants which used to have a reputation for excellence (like Le Manoir), but at half the price Simpson’s delivers. Consistently.

We went for a lovely dinner and experience the small bites of food were lovely unfortunately the soup was inedible and my husband and I have very different tastes, but both of us found it awful so sweet we had blade of beef which was so overcooked it was awful we had a waitress literally throw something on table on a saucer, we asked what it was when she returned as we had never seen chicken skin butter, would not recommend. The manager told my husband maybe it was a too sophisticated taste for us. We were at Savoy the week before and eat in the best places all over the world. But thank you for putting us down we did not eat anything apart from one mouthful of each course, we paid our drinks bill and left and had food elsewhere don't bother going there are far better restaurants in birmingham

My girlfriend and I came here for a birthday meal. We were both quite impressed by the building and the decor. The staff were polite and friendly. We both opted for the taster menu, I chose the plant based one along with the wine pairing. The food was ok, colourful, and flavoursome, but there was nothing to get exited about. I really can't see how you can charge £130 pounds for the plant based menu. It really doesn't show. Two of the dishes were a rissoto, and I felt that most of the dishes tasted the same. My favourite part of the menu was the wine tasting. Which at £95, I thought was quite reasonable.

The food was superb, as you'd expect from a chef of this calibre. However that is where the 'wow' dining experience ended. I've not been before to Simpsons, but have eaten at other Michelin starred restaurants. On arrival we were greeted by the wonderful concierge who we couldn't fault for professionalism. We were told our table was ready but we could have drinks in the lounge first if we'd like. The 'lounge' area, if you could really call it that was cold, sterile and reminded my wife an I, of sitting in an NHS dentist waiting room. Worn floors and scuffed skirting, totally lacking in any sort of atmosphere or 'theatre' befitting somewhere that I was about to spend upwards of £100 per head on dinner. Drinks were served and were delicious. We decided to be taken into the restaurant due to the unwelcoming atmosphere in the lounge area. I was expecting great things, but yet again was seriously disappointed. It took us some time to work out what it was about the dining area that jarred, and didn't work. The awful colour scheme, the lacklustre tables and clinical, although comfortable, chairs. And then we worked it out. It had the same feel and ambiance of the foyer area of the Core theatre in Solihull, the sort of place you would spend as little time as possible waiting for the intermission to be over. From the glaring, cold lighting in a 1990's style, the pine beams reminiscent of functional expansive opera house ceilings, the totally lack of heating! I have had the pleasure of dining in a huge variety and style of eateries, and this was by far one of the oddest places. To spend no small amount of money on a meal should be an experience, to delight all the senses, and the food element of this was exquisite, but that is unfortunately where the experience ended, having the feel and atmosphere of a school canteen rather than a Michelin Starred restaurant of some renown. The waiting staff were attentive and professional from beginning to end. However could have been a little more 'polished' in the finer details. Spilling the wine down my wife's glass, splashing sauce on the table cloth. These may seem like minor grumbles, but were I wearing a very expensive suit, these would definitely not have been.

Very expensive for what we had. Although food was good without the bread we wouldn't have been full. We will never go back itcwas like eating in an up market cafe. Very disappointed

Don't go to this over priced restaurant if you're hungry. Very little choice on the menu. Very disappointed

Beautiful settings, outstanding food and customer service. My first time at a Michelin restaurant. You can really tell the care and commitment that goes into each dish.

Went here last night for our daughters birthday dinner. There was some variation on the tasting menu from the last time my wife and I had eaten here earlier during the year, but once again, eating here was a lovely experience. All the staff were exceptional, and as always, it's the staff who make the evening special. From the front of the house greeting to the sommelier, the waitresses who served us, and Freddy behind the bar all made our evening special. Being introduced to the kitchen staff was also a highlight. All three of us would whole heartedly recommend eating here.

We love everything about this restaurant it is bright and fresh the service is first class the tasting menu was excellent and very tasty all in all a lovely anniversary lunch

I didn’t expect to be able to have any criticisms about Simpsons and whilst they’re minor, they did mucky the experience a little. Don’t get the wrong, the food was absolutely sublime, but I wouldn’t recommend the incredibly expensive wine pairing and the decor is just a bit shabby and in parts, generally odd! The floor of the conservatory is very dated and scruffy, as are the blinds on the ceiling where they have water stains on them. Not something I think I was ready for. The exposed brick wall was lovely but I don’t there needs to be all the ‘ode to Michelin’ throughout the restaurant. I’d suggest that any award over a year old just needs to be put something out of site. It made it a little tacky. Please don’t let this take away from the food, because that was a taste sensation with every course, but could be a better dining experience.

Anniversary lunch menu was perfect. Great how the place has kept pace with the various changes in dining expectations.. Good to see the customary 3 course set menu ( with choices) back. Annoyingly for the kitchen we only had 100 minutes at table due to a must not miss hospital appointment but they succeeded with time to spare. Simpson’s remains a jewel in Birmingham’s dining crown.

This is a favourite of our parents who live close by, and they finally brought us for a special birthday. And what a treat. The service is faultless, and the food fantastic and absolutely beautiful. One of our group is a celiac and the care and attention they gave in catering for her was amazing. Will definitely visit again.

Taken a while to write as I don’t tend to complain but on reflection I did want to share experience. This was our second visit to Simpsons - the first visit some years ago was amazing hence booking for my husband’s retirement meal at the end of June 2023. We arrived on a Sunday for lunch - taken to our table and from that point I have to say it was disappointing. Staff were moving tables and chairs around after we had been seated, I would have expected this to have been done before the restaurant opened as it wasn’t great listening to the noise around us. Service was rushed - starters finished, main course arrived within minutes, quickly followed by our deserts, really wasn’t what I expected as previously there was lots of time between each course. Food, which of course should be of a Michelin star standard was very disappointing.. The starters were ok, The main course was belly pork - it was a small piece, approx 5cm square, and served tepid and had a spongy texture - I thought the top would be crispy - we could not eat it due to comments. Desert - disappointing too, one of the items they did not have so had been substituted. On our previous visit amuse-bouche were served between courses which really added to the experience - nothing like that this time. For the price we paid and given Simpsons is a Michelin star restaurant we were very disappointed with all aspects and will not be returning unfortunately.

Special pre Birthday treat. Chance to enjoy this special Michelin star restaurant’s 30th anniversary menu. Absolute fine dining experience

Lovely venue. Party all settled for the 3 course lunch which was excellent with an unusual recommendation of a Brazilian red wine to go with the lamb which was an excellent pairing. Staff were all very professional and approachable. Will have to start saving for my next visits

Superlative. Not cheap, but absolutely incredible food, atmosphere, and service. Worth saving up for.

Lovely relaxing lunch here. Great food and attentive staff. Garden was good too for pre lunch drinks and later coffee and petits fours. Also got a parking space in the restaurant car park.

Been a while since we visited possibly thinking it might be again food excellent service poor no one refilled water wine glasses sat empty somellier if that’s what he calls himself was far too interested in another table in the restaurant picked our wine up out of the ice bucket thought he was going to top up no put it back never even spoke to us so one of my party had to walk over and get the wine NOT GOOD

Amazing birthday lunch, one minor thing on service, hence why a 4 for that, but other than that sheer perfection. The food was incredible!.

Superb food and an amazing night. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a special night out!!

I have been to Glyn Purnells, Adams, as well as a Michelin star in Switzerland... But so far Simpsons is my favourite. Three courses - off the 30th anniversary menu - and neither myself or my two fellow diners could find a single fault in any of it. I looked, I tried, I tasted, nope, absolutely nothing to fault. But that alone isn't enough because you can have perfect food in anything from a greasyspoon cafe to any other high end restaurant. What makes Simpsons my favourite so far is just the overall vibe. The restaurant indoor area is like someone's lounge. Michelin stuff on the shelf as well as other books. Big windows so you can look in the kitchen. Opened out restaurant area so you can look onto the garden (we went on the hottest day of the year so far) but equally in the winter I can imagine it would feel even more homely. Attentive staff who are at the same time relaxed and chatty if you want. The whole thing just works and it's just totally magic. Loved it.

Took my wife to Simpsons for our anniversary dinner. Turned out to be a special culinary experience. The restaurant has a nice garden, comfortable lounges, a gorgeous private dining room, but the main dining hall was a bit simple and somewhat disappointing. You can see the kitchen through glass panels but its not an open kitchen. We selected the tasting menu (gbp 130) but skipped the wine pairing ( gbp 90) because I wanted a special wine to celebrate our anniversary. The wine list has good breadth, covering wines from all corners of the world, a decent selection of wines by the glass but it lacked depth especially in Burgundy. I selected the Piper Heidseck Rare 2008, which impressively, was offered by the glass (gbp35) to start. It lived up to its reputation, full of vibrancy and complexity. However, I struggled to find a wine to match the occasion and menu, so I called for help from the resident sommelier. He walked me through options, probing my preferences and knowledge of wines and to my surprise revealed he had wines to offer that were not on the list! He rattled off some names but I was not moved, then he mentioned Coche Dury! My eyes lit up - this was imho the best white Burgundy maker. The sommelier offered us three possibilities from Coche Dury, the Meursault, Bourgogne and Aligote. He explained that they were only allocated 3 bottles of the Meursault per year by the winemaker, and since this wine is so difficult to buy, let alone find it in a restaurant, I went for it. The Coche Dury Meursault did not disappoint. It was fireworks on the palate and kept improving in the glass, and it was a wonderful accompaniment to the brilliant food.

Top quality. On all fronts. This is a 4 hour experience, not a meal!

We had an absolutely wonderful time, just faultless. Food was outstanding (as usual) and the service was spot on. A hidden gem in Birmingham that I would thoroughly recommend trying.

The food was of the highest standard. Everything was perfect - flavour, quality, and presentation. The front of house team was spot on. They were attentive, but not overly so, and were massively accommodating to our gluten intolerant diner. A big shout out to the tapenard bread - stunningly good.

Fabulous- just fabulous. We had the tasting menu. The food and service are sublime. Could not recommend highly enough

Beautiful place with amazing food and great service. Opted for the supplement lobster and I’m glad I did it was so tasty and presentation was spot on as to be expected of a restaurant of this quality

Fabulous . Individual needs really catered for .

Superb unpretentious Michelin stare cuisine created by (Prof) Luke Tipping.

Booked Simpsons back in Jun for lunch for 5 as a treat for my special birthday in Sept when the website stated 2 courses: £45/3 courses: £60. been here previously on a couple of occasions and class it as my favourite restaurant - always recommend it to anyone that listens - this is not a regular due to its price bracket. When I phoned to book I asked whether those of us having the Beef Wellington would just pay £20pp on top of whichever course we chose i.e. it was not separate to the 2 course/3 course offer and was told that was correct. As I know Simpsons change their menu monthly I checked today and notice that 3 courses/tasting menu were now the only options for Sat/Sun so I phoned and was told by the manager we had to have 3 courses. I was told there was no flexibility. not even for my special occasion. Cannot believe you would turn away £300+ bill for the sake of £75 - who knows we all may have chosen 3 courses! Luckily Orelle are happy for us to choose either 2 or 3 courses...

Superb restaurant. Friendly welcoming staff. The plant based tasting menu was fantastic. Giacomo's wine pairing for each course was amazing. I look forward to going back there.

Food,beautiful, service excellent ,knowledge of staff also excellent.

In the last month I’ve dined at Simpsons twice, the first time was to celebrate two birthdays, over the years I’ve dined there many times & loved it, this last twice we’ve all been very disappointed, they’ve cut down dramatically on the little extra complimentary mouthfuls you would get between courses, which were delicious, I was there for Sunday on the one occasion & mid week for the other, when I booked for the second occasion I was told that the menu would be the same as never changed it, which I found unbelievable, but she was quite right , it was exactly the same, there were 3 main courses to choose from, one of which had a £20 supplement, the food itself tasted lovely but the portions were tiny, I didn’t expect very much , but maybe a little more the we had, it took us very little time to eat our meal & came away feeling, what a wast of money, & never to be repeated

Wonderful meal and great service.

Simpsons Edgbaston is easily my favourite restaurant in Birmingham!! A must visit and well deserves the Michelin star it currently holds! I first went in 2019 and now again in 2023 and I have to say the standards have remained extremely high and it was just phenomenal!! The property is a beautiful Victorian house and honestly from the minute you walk in, it does feel like you are at a cosy lovely home! And the conservatory we sat in has stunning views of the garden! This is one of the most relaxing and aesthetic restaurants and I just love the atmosphere! Then on to the food. Both times I had the Cornish Lamb which was top notch! So tender, full of flavour and cooked to perfection! I then had the Raspberry Soufflé for dessert which was the best I have ever tried. Honestly they come to your table, serve it with raspberry coulis and Chantilly cream! Melts in your mouth and is one of the best desserts I have ever had! They also brought out stunning canapés, bread which was warm with delicious, as well as an amazing Iced Coffee with Petits fours. The petits fours had a madeleine cake, artisan chocolate and a jelly! The attention to detail at Simpsons is what I absolutely love about this restaurant. They offered us to enjoy our coffees in the lounge which was such a cosy experience- literally feels like you are at a stately home- so relaxing! It is the best restaurant by far in Birmingham and my favourite Michelin! Such a great ambience, service is always amazing and the food never disappoints! Thankyou so much and can’t wait to be back again!

The best place to eat and perfect service

Superb experience 👏👏 wine list was fantastic and the food excellent

Food was of the standard you would expect for a 1 star Michelin. Amazing starters with lobster and salmon, can’t fault the food aside from the raspberry soufflé which was very underwhelming and didn’t feel appropriate for the standard of restaurant and the rest of...

As a person that isn't fan of seafood I have to say it was the best dishes I ever had ( some of food in tasting menu was seafood ). Service was fantastic, you really feel looked after. Highly recommended 👌

Lovely place, really good food and beautiful location! Would definitely go again and would recommend it

Excellent location food also excellent will certainly book again Very relaxing atmosphere Staff very friendly

Wonderful food, excellent service.

Celebrated my birthday here with my partner really lovely tasting menu and the venue was cool.

My friends and I attended the Vegan cookery class at Eureka (within Simpsons) and had an amazing day. The day started at 9 and we left around 3.30. We had drinks on arrival, a tour of the restaurant & met all of the kitchen team....

Had my first experience today at Simpsons. Enjoyed the tasting meal. The service was impeccable. The advice and guidance provided by the knowledge staff made a real difference. The whole event took exactly 2 hours. We enjoyed 3 suprise amuse-bouche courses. I asked how often they changed the tasting menu and they said the entire selection every couple of months but more frequently they change individual items.
