The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in Bickenhill Solihull West Midlands

The restaurant is beautifully designed and you can tell they pay attention to all details there. The food was exquisite and we especially enjoyed the selection of snacks and canapes. The white onion veloute was wonderful, as was the bread course. In terms of desserts, I preferred the forced rhubarb one. The madeleine was ok, but then again, there’s only so much you can do with one and upgrade it to nee heights. I would have finished on a stringer note with maybe a more exciting petit four, but that is just my opinion. The bill came to £400 for two people with wine. The bar staff deserve a special mention as they were excellent and able to create some pretty amazing cocktails.

Last 3 visits to this IKEA store have been disappointing. Less products to buy, increased prices, poorer quality than previously. Prices have risen in the restaurant and it can be tricky to get a table during peak times. Sometimes the queues to pay for food can take so long that your food is cold by the time you come to eat it. Parts of the store were incredibly warm and stuffy during my most recent visit in August with no cool air flow in certain areas - this made the shopping experience very uncomfortable and frustrating. It was crowded by the Bistro at the end, and unclear whether you had to use the new self-service screens (some of these not working) to order food/drink, or whether you could still queue up to order with a person. Sadly, the Bistro no longer seems to have chocolate doughnuts, or any offers if buying multiple cinnamon buns.
