The best restaurants serving French food in Birmingham West Midlands

Went with a friend for lunch - a Birmingham Restaurant Festival special. This is a brilliant idea bringing custom to restaurants and encouraging diners to try places they might not have otherwise visited. Sadly, at this venue, we were both left disappointed for different reasons. There was a set menu for the festival and, as a non meat eater, I found it unimaginative and terrible value for money. There was only one choice for me, per course; understandable on a set menu but I was unimpressed by the boring offerings and meagre portions. Three spears of asparagus was the totally underwhelming starter, albeit cooked nicely but... This was followed by an even more underwhelming split courgette - yes, just the one, served on couscous with an harissa dressing. The taste was good to be honest, but the tiny portion just ridiculous! My friend had chosen the pork - which, although declared to be over cooked and dry - was a decent sized portion. How can two slabs of pork, a wedge of Dauphinoise and veg be deemed equal monetary value to a lone courgette? Both of us being disappointed, we were not impressed by what was on offer for the set desserts. And so, we asked if we could add a dessert from the a la carte. This was refused as we had booked the Festival menu. We made it clear that we realised it would cost extra. Still no. What a terrible business model. Additionally, service felt rushed throughout. Unsurprisingly, I had finished my main way ahead of my companion. Waiting staff hovered until the other plate was abandoned. When the numbers of people opting for less meat in their diet are growing exponentially, this was a really poor show. Wholly disappointing.

Probé la comida que era asquerosa. Traté de quejarme de la comida y tuve que lidiar con el personal y la gerencia arrogante de un restaurante. El gerente se acercó y me hizo sentir aún más enferma, ya que acababa de regresar de una marica y olía absolutamente a cigarrillos rancios y perfume barato, que es lo último que los comensales necesitan para oler. Todo el personal del restaurante necesita el saco. Al menos gané algunas apuestas. El personal de juego fue genial, simplemente mala experiencia con el personal del restaurante que parecía grosero o posiblemente racista. Espero que solo sean groseros.

Very clean,spacious room.Lift was broken so Sam offered room on lower floor.Great night's sleep and comfy bed.Breakfast was delicious lots of choice,great atmosphere.Would definitely return.
