The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in Ladywood Birmingham West Midlands

Some of the food was lovely and some was not, but very disappointed with the service. Perhaps they look down on customers that have bought groupons but we felt we were treated dismissively and many waiting staff didnt seem bothered with us. This is disappointing because we were looking forward to the 7 course tasting menu which I bought for my wife as a mothers day treat and this was our first return to Adams since we came when they first opened. Our meal started off well with snacks and a first course of langoustine and asparagus mousse which was probably the best course. The next 3 courses were pleasant and I was looking forward to course 5 which was longhorn beef. I wanted to get a glass of red to go with this so asked the waiter for the wine list but after 5 minutes I realised he wasn't coming back. I asked another waiter and explained what happened and was hopeful as he walked off. He then seemed to pour water for people on every table whilst in the meantime the beef course had arrived. He then appeared with the wine list somewhat pleased with himself. I was a bit annoyed but politely said not to bother since I didn't want my food to go cold. He then returned a minute later with a glass of argentinian cabernet franc i had not asked for (not what i would have picked to go with beef i had wanted bordeaux but it was fine) but I thought a lovely gesture to comp this to sort things out and the beef was good. The next dish was a predesert of grapefruit prosecco granola which had a horrid bitter metallic lingering aftertaste so we both left this and had barely any of it. The staff did not ask why we hadnt eaten it when they collected it. Didnt seem to care. The rhubarb desert was ok but still seemed to have a slight metallic aftertaste perhaps lingering from the dish before I can't be sure. So we had enjoyed 5 of the 7 courses and one was most unpleasant. I should have known better but thought why not try the cheese for £25. I had expected a cheese board so perhaps should have read the description closer but it did say one was semi-hard. What we got was three ramekins of nondescript blended cheesy goo with crackers that fall apart as you try to eat them so a bit disappointing. When I got the bill I checked it and we had been charged an extra £30 for 2 glasses of cabernet franc. So not only had they charged us for the wine that seemed to be comped - they had tried to overcharge us. I called the waiter over and explained that I had only had 1 glass, had thought this had been complimentary and outlined the problems from earlier of the 2 waiters going AWOL (neither had apologised) when I asked for the wine list. He went off and returned some time later saying that he had removed the cabernet franc from the bill but no apology for trying to overcharge me or the problems we had. By now I was livid and ought to have refused to pay the £37 service charge but was polite and paid up since one of the girls who served us was very good. I can't see myself ever going back to Adams based on this experience.

Went for dinner in restaurant Folium as a party of four. The restaurant is beautiful inside very clean and minimalistic. We were welcomed by Lucy who was amazing throughout the whole dinner. She made sure we had a lovely time and was friendly and cheerful but professional at the same time. The restaurant offers a tasting menu and plenty of drinks options including a wine pairing. Every single dish was unique on its own way and had some amazing flavours. In addition, each dish was beautifully presented. Some of my personal favourites were the Wye valley asparagus with exmoor caviar and whey sauce, a simple dish but with some unique and delicious flavours. Another favourite was the A5 Wagyu beef with grilled chicory. There is an option to add a cheese selection before moving onto desserts and it was absolutely worth it, some delicious British cheeses with home made crackers, apple preserve and home made malt loaf. The desserts were absolutely beautiful and tasted incredible. The sourdough cake with rye custard and brown butter ice cream was loved by everyone on the table. The petit fours at the end were the perfect finish of an amazing dinner. The sunflower seeds macarons and freshly baked madeleines were delicious. The madeleines are baked to order and still warm when served. We even had a chat with Ben- the chef who makes all the amazing food, he was lovely. Overall we had an amazing experience with some beautiful food and Lucy and Ben who run the restaurant made sure we felt welcomed and provided us with amazing food and exceptional service. Definitely recommend!

Small and friendly shop. I had pork and chirizo croquettes, butternut squash and stilton quiche and chocolate orange nates. They were all amazing. Will definitely be back 😍.

Fish and chips were delicious, service a bit slow, a place for families so quite noisy, price a bit steep too. I would return though.

Habíamos visitado dos gatos expectativas cuando oímos que estaban abriendo un pop-up en Digbeth (sobre todo porque era 1 minuto de mi puerta de la oficina)

As a solo female lunchtime diner, the staff were outstanding. They made me Feel welcome at the check in desk, gave me a corner table so I didn’t feel self conscious & treated me very kindly. My waiter was an extremely solicitous & polite young man; the food was really delicious (fishcake & chips), a nice crisp glass of rosé to compliment it, followed by a latte to finish & although trepidatious of going alone, I felt comfortable at all times. I was really impressed & would go again either solo or with family/friends.

Update april Another fantastic experience Great service, food and environment.

So good to find an Everards Brewery pub in town with well kept, reasonably priced cask ale. There looks to be some fantastic, left-field bar snacks available if you’re here primarily to drink. Friendly, informative and efficient bar staff on hand surely have contributed to this pub being to the 2025 Good Beer Guide.

Made a booking online for afternoon tea as it was our wedding anniversary (15/04/2025), whilst booking online website asked us for any special requests…so I requested halal option and also uploaded a photo of us so they would recognise us and greet us upon arrival as stated on their website. On upon arrival there was no one to greet us even though I uploaded a photo of us a waitress then arrived and took us to a table and pointed out that we can choose whichever table we wanted…that clearly meant that even though I made a booking online they didn’t really reserve a table for us nor was there anything to make it special (even though it was meant to be our anniversary). After sitting down they left us to it and after 5 minutes we ordered drinks…..the waitress then came after 20 minutes after the drinks arrived to take our order (even though the booking was made for afternoon tea). Once we ordered we waited for almost an hour for the afternoon tea….restaurant was completely empty other than 4 tables who were already served and eating. Once the afternoon tea arrived I was disappointed at how it arrived…oh my tea arrived before everything else which meant that it was going cold. The afternoon tea was served on a chopping board/cheese board and not on a cake stand as shown on their website. The sandwiches and cakes were horrible it all came straight out of the fridge and was rock hard. The sandwiches looked like they were bought from a supermarket and just cut up into small pieces. £80 and £20 for two drinks hit by a service charge of 10% on our bill which was not stated on the menu!! Waste of money. This was clearly not afternoon tea. Will definitely NOT be recommending this place to anyone.

Pagué por 2 bebidas para sentarse. Ambos llegaron en tazas para llevar. Incluso los pos tenían fotos de las bebidas que pedimos en tazas de porcelana para sentarse y tazas de papel para llevar. Me parece que es más conveniente para el personal servir todo en vasos de papel para evitar lavarse ... cuando usted está pagando probablemente pagando más para sentarse, entonces usted esperaría más que vasos de papel. En términos de bebidas, el chocolate caliente era como caliente en el mejor de los casos. El personal hizo mucho ruido y las conversaciones entre los clientes que atendían rugieron en toda la tienda. No es la mejor experiencia desafortunadamente.

Visita tardía al desayuno Personal agradable y orden tomado rápidamente, a un precio razonable con deliciosa comida de sabor. Ciertamente no podía fallar aquí y era perfecto antes de coger mi tren a casa. Sin duda recomiendo si alguna vez en brum

Waited 10 mins even with a booking which is fine, but then got seated on a tiny table next to a busy door with zero room which had also not been cleaned/wiped between guests, was clearly a table for 4 that had been split apart on top of all that. Music was way too loud, the place is just for spending money, not enjoying an experience, we saw the facial expressions of the couple next to us and left promptly.

I’ve ordered 2 soups, one of them was wrong one, 4 meatballs which I didn’t get, had to call them back for a few times for it and I had to wait another 40 mins to get them, the fries on the site was included but on the phone they said it’s not and I have to order them separately , I paid by card online then they cancelled the order, but they have taken the money, and then said I have to pay another £42 at the driver and for the first money that I paid I’ll get a refund. That’s how you lose your customers

Primera vez aquí para el brunch sin fondo, y no podía faltar la comida, bebidas y servicio de todos. Nuestra camarera principal para la tarde fue Khaye, que nos cuidó y mantuvo nuestras bebidas fluyendo. ¡Volveremos pronto!

We had an amazing meal at Zen last night. The food was incredible, probably the best Thai Green Curry I’ve ever had. Everything tasted unreal and I’d happily eat it all over again. We were only in Birmingham for the evening and we’d recommend it to anyone!
