Modern British restaurants in Birmingham

  1. A

    Bank

    Huge glass front panels make this swanky restaurant a bit of a culinary goldfish bowl, but most diners don't complain - the sophisticated modern-Brit dishes are quite special.

    Simpsons

    Simpsons is far from the centre in a gorgeous Victorian house, but it's worth making the journey for the imaginative creations sliced and diced by Michelin-starred chef Andreas Antona. You could even stay the night in one of the four luxurious bedrooms upstairs. Reservations recommended.

    Purnells

    Exquisite, inventive dishes (such as ox cheek with lentils cooked in toffee) are served in an airy Victorian red-brick building with a striking modern interior. Run by celebrated chef Glynn Purnell.

    Opus

    Fronted by a window shaped like the letters of its name, this sleek modernist place is all starched linen, silver cutlery and upmarket ingredients from famous-name farms.

  5. Edmunds Fine Dining

    The latest venture for Michelin-starred chef Andy Waters, this sleek place is where traders from the surrounding banking houses come to spend their bonuses. Expect lots of locally sourced meats, fish and farm-fresh produce. The restaurant is just back from the river in the Brindley Place precinct.
