There's a sensational array of restaurants on offer in and around Birmingham with all tastes catered for. Whether you're looking for a cheap night out without compromising on fantastic food or you're looking for a meal with different flavours, you'll find everything you need right here.

With such a selection to choose from it's difficult to highlight a few hotspots, but if you're on a budget you might want to opt for the all day breakfasts on offer at the Eastside Cafe These will fill you up for the day ahead and help you stretch your money out longer. This cafe has come to the aid of many a cash-strapped student - especially after a night out on the town.

Prefer something a bit different? Well there's the Maison Mayci in Kings Heath a restaurant serving delicious French cuisine. Book early as it's very popular, but well worth the wait as it's a lovely and intimate place to eat out.

Holding its own and representing great British gastronomy is Purnell's where guinea fowl and beautifully tender beef can be devoured.

And of course, you cannot talk about dining in Birmingham without mentioning the city's signature dish the ever-popular Balti. With so much to choose from, you'd better start making room now.

You can also have a range of side dishes (peas, beans, mash etc) with freshly made gravy, or go the sweet route: apple pie and ice-cream anyone? All pies can be eaten in or taken away- handy for those busy shopping trips.The Handmade Burger Co. does exactly what it says on the tin. Not that anything ...
