Birmingham Restaurant Festival issues first line-up announcement

Birmingham Restaurant Festival will return from 1 to 31 August 2025 for its fourth year and has revealed a preview list of the first restaurants to participate.

Each year, Birmingham Restaurant Festival takes over the city, giving foodies exclusive menus to enjoy a variety of lunch and dinner menus for incredible value throughout the month.

Among the first venues announced are four of the restaurants voted by festival-goers as having the best menus during Birmingham Restaurant Festival 2024:

• 670 Grams by Michelin-trained Kay Treadwell, who curates innovative tasting menus using local produce.
• Lasan – an Indian fine-dining restaurant serving iconic dishes with a contemporary twist.
• Trentina – a neighbourhood venue serving freshly-made pasta, seasonal antipasti and more.
• Bistro at Hotel Du Vin – a popular bistro serving classic French dishes with a modern bent.

In the city centre, participating restaurants include Orelle, the fine-dining restaurant located 24 floors above the city, Bombay-inspired favourite Dishoom, modern Chinese restaurant Tattu, contemporary Indian restaurant and celebrity haunt Asha’s and the newly relocated home of bao buns and rice bowls, Tiger Bites Pig.

Over in the Jewellery Quarter, restaurants such as Michelin Good Food Guide-listed, Spanish-inspired Txikiteo, popular music and dining venue The Jam House and Victorian public house The Church Pub & Dining Room, are taking part.

Diners can also head to Edgbaston to enjoy an Argentinian barbecue feast at Fiesta Del Asado, or the best of British produce at Chapter.
